More Information
Did You Know..
Angela Lansbury
(Actor)
.. Jessica Fletcher
Born:
October 16, 1925
in
London
Best Known For:
Murder, She Wrote.
Early-life:
Angela Brigid Lansbury was born in London on October 16, 1925. Her mother was Irish actress Moyna MacGill; her father, Edgar Lansbury, was a timber merchant and member of the Communist Party of Great Britain. She has younger, twin brothers, who became theatre producers. Her cousin was legendary animator Oliver Postgate. Angela's father died in 1934, and her mother became involved with a former soldier who was strict with the children. Her mother eventually took her children to Hollywood when she landed a part in a touring Noel Coward play.
Career:
While working in a department store in LA, Lansbury met a casting director through her mother. He offered her a role in the 1944 film Gaslight; she was just 18, but it landed her an Oscar nomination. Roles in National Velvet, Blue Hawaii and Bedknobs and Broomsticks followed. She gained further Academy Award nominations for The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Manchurian Candidate. She's also worked extensively on stage, winning a record five Tony Awards. But it was playing Jessica Fletcher in the long-running TV series Murder, She Wrote, that turned her into a household name. More recently, Lansbury has appeared in Nanny McPhee and Mr Popper's Penguins.
Quote:
"I'm never left behind. I'm the bionic woman."

Arguably her most offbeat work is a fitness book - Angela Lansbury's Positive Moves - My Personal Plan for Fitness and Well-Being.

Elliott Gould
(Actor)
.. Lt Hanna
Born:
August 29, 1938
in
New York
Best Known For:
MASH, being the ex-Mr Barbra Streisand and Friends.
Early-life:
Born Elliott Goldstein on August 29, 1938, in Brooklyn, New York, the only child of overbearing, Eastern European immigrant parents. His father, Bernie, was a buyer for a textile company, his mother, Lucille, was a housewife. Although well-meaning, he claims they were manipulative, but admits that sending him to dancing lessons was a good idea. Gaining confidence through the classes, he studied at the Professional Children's School in Manhattan and worked during the summer at comedy clubs in the Catskills outside New York.
Career:
Gould landed a role in musical Rumple, then met Barbra Streisand while starring alongside her on Broadway. His first film was 1964's The Confession. Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice (for which he was Oscar nominated) was a hit in 1969. A year later the movie version of MASH was a blockbuster. He continued to make decent films throughout the 1970s, but fell out of favour in the 1980s. Playing Ross and Monica's father in Friends introduced him to a new generation of viewers in 1994. His most recent hits were the Ocean's films, alongside George Clooney and Brad Pitt. More recently, he has starred in the TV series Ray Donovan and Mulaney.
Quote:
"Success didn't change me. I was already distorted before I became a star."
Trivia:
He has voiced characters in a number of animated series, including Kim Possible.
