Angela Lansbury who played Mrs. Potts in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast has passed away today at the age of 96 according to her family.
“The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 AM today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday,” her family said in a statement.
“In addition to her three children, Anthony, Deirdre, and David, she is survived by three grandchildren, Peter, Katherine, and Ian, plus five great-grandchildren and her brother, producer Edgar Lansbury,” the statement adds.
For Disney, she played Miss Eglantine Price in Bedknobs and Broomsticks and voiced Mrs. Potts in the Beauty and the Beast franchise. She also played The Balloon Lady in Mary Poppins Returns.
Angela Brigid Lansbury was born on October 16, 1925, in London, England. Angela’s achievements on stage, screen, and television are too numerous to recount but include six Golden Globes and eighteen Primetime Emmy® nominations. She is the recipient of the National Medal of the Arts, and the Kennedy Center Honors, and was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994.
A private family ceremony will be held at a date to be determined. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
