Happy 88th Birthday Angela Lansbury! (October 16, 1925)

Birthdays have never been tough for me. Aging simply opens up new pages of possibilities. Age really doesn’t have any bearing on my ability to look forward with joy.

-Angela Lansbury

The Last Waltz

She knows him better than anyone else in the world. The hundreds of hours they have spent in physical contact during rehearsal have made her body attuned to his; her body reacts to his movements before her brain can register them, communicates with his body before she can consciously formulate a response. Though he is no Svengali, and she no Trilby, her partnership with him has given her the ability to fly higher than she ever had before. She had her wings before they met, but it is because of him that she can fly to the moon.

And for that she will always love him.

George Stevens’ direction and the photography by David Abel emphasized the shimmering contrasts often seen in the Astaire-Rogers films. The glittering whites and the deep blacks are constantly showing up in the sets, costumes and design. It is no mistake that snow is repeated several times as a romantic motif, and mirrored on the major club set as twinkling stars. [x]

The late Wallis, Duchess of Windsor once said it was impossible to be too rich or too thin. She was wrong about at least one of those.

If you can’t see the difference between Albert and Wedgwood, that’s not my problem.
