Angela Lansbury
Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.
Angela Lansbury
I honestly consider that the greatest gift to me, is the reaction that I get from my work. That is a given which I never, ever take for granted. But to be given that by audiences, individuals, on the street, in the theater, is an extraordinary feeling.
Angela Lansbury
You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.
