Angela Lansbury received her first Oscar nomination before World War II was won, and today, there are children who know who she is. It’s hard to imagine anyone matching the historical sweep of that career. Here she is at 91 if you feel like a little cry.

RIP Angela Lansbury. This is what stardom means, especially in the theater: she provided the most fabulous, irreplaceable joy. She was beloved as a person and an actress, and managed to be approachable, glamorous and heartbreaking. She'll be missed, celebrated and adored pic.twitter.com/8HVhQRFv4C

RIP to Angela Lansbury, whose career had so many astonishing stages there's no way to sum her. A firecracker glamour girl, a ferocious machiavel, a syrupy cannibal, a mischievous auntie, a sharp-witted sleuth, a kindly grandmother, all at her command. What a range, what a career. pic.twitter.com/Ivob3adtXE

Angela Lansbury. That voice broke a million hearts. An icon in every way. pic.twitter.com/2cXbs0OZ0S

Lansbury achieved the rare status of being two totally different icons at the same time: one of the leading lights of 20th century musical theater in one context, and the definitive reliable Sunday night comfort-food figure in another.

It is rare that one person can touch multiple generations, creating a breadth of work that defines decade after decade. #AngelaLansbury was that artist. From “Mame” to “Bedknobs” to “Murder She Wrote” to “B&TB” to “Mary Poppins Returns” she touched 4 generations. RIP Legend🙏 pic.twitter.com/CTFlrL5GPU

For @nytimes, I wrote about 16 streamable highlights from Angela Lansbury's career. Worth looking beyond the obvious titles to some of her less-heralded roles, especially early in her career. A lot of range. https://t.co/cRI9ymIFyU
