I was sorry to see this news. I actually met her once, with her husband and a friend of theirs (I think her producer?). I was 16 and working in an architectural salvage yard and they drove up from Cork unannounced to see what we had in the way of granite piers and troughs for her garden. Because she was unnanounced I was in charge of the yard at the time (and the five men who worked there) and the boss (who was a total toady when it came to "famous" people wasn't around. He appeared as I was showing them what we had and giving them some quotes and when he went to take over and shoo me back to the office Ms Landsbury (who could smell his obsequiousness a mile off) said "No thank you, I'd rather finish up our business with S-" with such a gracious smile that he just walked away again. She paid full price, plus delivery. She was friendly and normal, and I think she appreciated me treating her as a normal person. My Mum was furious I didn't ask for an autograph though.Angela Lansbury, 96 years young. RIP
Strangely, a new fella just moved into town who keeps to himself.....

Because of the dangers that the cult leader posed, Lansbury told her then-husband, Peter Shaw, that the family needed to move. She wanted their children, especially her daughter, as far away from Manson's influence as possible, as her drug addiction was getting worse under his influence. She decided on County Cork, Ireland, which she still visited up until her passing.
"I was drawn to Ireland because it was the birthplace of my mother and it was also somewhere my children wouldn't be exposed to any more bad influences," she explained. "So I refused all work for a year and simply kept house."

That house in cork is within walking distance of me now. A local bartender here lives in it currently, with his other half who's related to Ms. Lansbury. For ages I didn't know who he was on about, he kept mentioning Ms. Lansbury as if I should know who that was.Mallow She Wrote
Honestly can't imagine a worse place to go cold turkey than Cork. Super parenting to be fair.
