On October 16, 1925, Irish-British-American actress and vocalist Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury were born.
Her mother, the Irish actress Moyna Macgill, used the stage name Charlotte Lillian McIldowie and was born in Belfast. She had multiple film appearances in addition to her regular performances on London’s West End.
Her father, the wealthy English politician and businessman Edgar Lansbury were a Communist Party of Great Britain member and a former mayor of the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar. Over the course of her eight-decade career, she took on a range of roles in theatre, cinema, and television.
Who is Angela Lansbury’s husband Richard Cromwell?
LeRoy Melvin Radabaugh, better known as Roy Radabaugh, was a famous American actor who was born Richard Cromwell on January 8, 1910. Henry Hathaway’s debut picture as a director, which was based on the well-known Francis Yeats-Brown book, was a true success. The Lives of a Bengal Lancer was nominated for Best Picture by Paramount Studios in 1935, but Mutiny on the Bounty ultimately won the award.
Because of his roles in Jezebel with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda and again in John Ford’s Young Mr. Lincoln, his career was at its height. The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, which starred Gary Cooper and Franchot Tone in the lead parts, might have been the movie that first established Cromwell’s reputation.
Actress Angela Lansbury and Cromwell were married in California once for a brief time (1945–1946), when she was 19 and he was 35. On September 27, 1945, in Independence, California, a small civil ceremony was held to legally wed Cromwell and Lansbury.
