A good run. First television character in my memory who had grandmotherly vibes… and that was almost 40 years ago

I know her best from The Manchurian Candidate, Murder, She Wrote and Beauty and the Beast. This really bums me out.

I did see her as part of one of Bernadette Peters' Broadway Barks events. Didn't meet her though.
And of course, to get to Raw in the 90s, you had to go through Murder She Wrote first.

I'd hate to live in Cabot Cove right now. Without her around to keep the criminals in check the crime rate there is just gonna skyrocket.
RIP Mrs. Potts.

My heart breaks. Yes, it was an amazing run and a full life, but you just wish for more. One more day, one more performance, one more memory. From The Picture of Dorian Gray to The Manchurian Candidate to Murder, She Wrote to Mrs. Potts, every memory is precious and I am grateful.

The world has lost its three grandmothers in under a year (Betty White, Elizabeth II, and now Miss Lansbury).
Fun fact: She played Elvis’ mother in Blue Hawaii even though she was 10 years older than him.

From The Picture of Dorian Gray to The Manchurian Candidate to Murder, She Wrote to Mrs. Potts, every memory is precious and I am grateful. Yeah, same with Loretta Lynn (one week ago exactly)...she was still making music even up to now, IIRC. Even post-stroke. And just knowing these people who've always been around were, well, still around. As another example, Betty White was pretty much retired years before her passing, she really didn't make many public appearances after...I wanna say when she got a lifetime achievement award at the Emmys? But it still felt good that she was somewhere. Of course, I've been trying to not fall into the tropes I used to do here. Still, it's like so much change now. Perhaps it makes me think of the passage of time and our mortality too? Losing these people who've always been around?

She lived a long and active life but still very sad news.

She played Laurence Harvey‘s mother, but was only 3 years older than him I real life.

Sad to hear. I can imagine online reviewer Pushing Up Roses will be upset when she hears this too. But 96 is a good life. Also, Angela was stunning in her younger days:

Ok. We need to wrap Julie Andrews, Judy Dench, and Maggie Smith in bubble wrap.
We can't lose any more this year!

Never a better Mrs Lovett serving up the worst pies in London. This means next week we all have to watch Murder, She Wrote before RAW as a tribute.

One of my fav's.
Never got tired of the old website that used to try and explain how Jessica Fletcher was actually a serial killer who was just great at framing people.
I shall need to rewatch some episodes in her memory.
