BIO: Although specific details of Angela Lansbury's connection to Ireland were not revealed in "The World of Hibernia," Summer 1998 issue, it does state that the Irish family surname was MacGill. Lansbury, who was born in London to a lumber merchant and his actress-wife, Moyna MacGill, has enjoyed a long career in films to include her first film, "Gaslight" (1944), which earned her the first of three Oscar nomations. Other notable films include "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1945), and "The Manchurian Candidate" (1962). Broadway admirers have honored this versatile lady with four Tony Awards, and her role in "Murder, She Wrote," was a rock-solid hit in the 1980s. In the late 1960s, a fire destroyed her Malibu, CA home, and Lansbury moved her family to Ireland. Although she has loved spending time in Ireland, as late as 1998, she had made her permanent home in Los Angeles. "I used to spend vacations in Ireland as a child and I love to go back," says Angela, who has enjoyed the "quiet, rural life" offered by her cottage by the sea.
