At 83 (she'll be 84 in October), what else can one say but, "DAMN!!!" :D

 

You keep on going, Girl!!! :)

What a classy dish Angela is. She is holding her age well. So many of her contemporaries are gone or unable to perform. Such talent!

Ncm, weren't you and Angela schoolmates back in the day?

Had the pleasure of seeing her in Blithe Spirit and also saw most of the other nominees. Angela definitely deserved the Tony for her role in Blithe.

Lucky's comment is rather funny! Perhaps NCM should get a Tony for his performance in the Message Center. Especially for the volume of posts in the Politics Forum.

I remember once, many, many, many years ago, when I was a wee young lad back in Houston--My father and stepmother took me to see a performance of Gypsy, starring Angela Lansbury. That was my first memorable intro into Musical theater. (For anyone curious, it was approximately 40 years ago)

Saw the awards show and like every year, unlike ANY of the other televised awards shows, the Tony's managed to finish pretty much on time.

 

Enjoyed seeing more numbers from more shows.

 

Especially enjoyed Neil Patrick's closing number. Very funny.

She has had an amazing career. She was making movies in the 40s.

saw her during a national tour of Mame many years ago...she IS Mame, sorry Lucille

I had the good pleasure of seeing Angela and Len Cariou in Sweeney Todd, last week, I mean about 25 years ago. Great fun. She had a great voice, and facial expressions which could be read in the last row of the balconey. (Is it really 35 years ago. ARGGGGJH)

Sorry, but you're confused. (Not to worry - it's understandable at your age).

 

It was Ann-Margret with whom I was a classmate, and I believe it was Mae West who said of you, "There's no gun in that pocket."
