I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18!
Angela Lansbury
Actually the years when I was playing totally un - well, they were just roles that just went by the board, you wouldn't want to know. But anyway, I'm glad I had that chance to build my craft.
Angela Lansbury
The older I get, the more I realize how much I have missed because I was so busy entertaining that audience and so busy pursuing a career.
