[bednobs]

I didn't know she was still alive!

[albaqwerty]

a long life.
Murder , She wrote was fun, pasta, I liked it quite a bit, but for me, it's Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

RIP Angela.

RIP

I used to enjoy watching Murder She Wrote.

[naomi24]

I remember seeing her when she was young in a brilliant oldie - ‘Gaslight’ with ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. She had a long and successful career.

[pastafreak]

Gaslight was a classic...I'd love to see it again.

[Buenchico]

No problem, Pasta:

[naomi24]

That’s not the same film, chris.

[maggiebee]

You can watch the original (1944) Gaslight on Amazon Prime.

Oops! Sorry! I forgot that the one that Angela Lansbury was in was a remake. The version I've linked to is the one that the studio tried to get wiped from memory, by seeking to have all prints of it destroyed.

[naomi24]

I think the original is the one chris posted but I was talking about the remake with Angela Lansbury. Superb movie.

[naomi24]

Cross posted, chris. I’ve never seen the original but why did they try to wipe it?

[pastafreak]

I didn't realise that the one we all know was a remake.

[naomi24]

Neither did I.

[jno]

because they suspected the original was better and they didn't want the competition, naomi. They tried to destroy all the negatives too.

Gaslight was her first film, Mary Poppins Returns was her last . I make that 74-odd years in films. Very impressive.
