We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Angela came to the United States in 1940 on a scholarship to a New York drama school. Only 14 at the time, she and her mother, the well- known British actress Moyna MacGill, soon moved on to Hollywood. At 18 she was given her first movie role, in “Gaslight.” She averaged around three pictures a year after that before drift¬ ing into television in 1952. “Television,” she says, “is a good deal more wearing than pictures but a good deal more diversified, too. In pictures it is so easy to become typed. In TV you can play a glamor doll one week and a charwoman the next.” Married to agent Peter Shaw (both are now naturalized citizens), Angela describes herself as a “typical wife, mother, housekeeper and gardener” when not working. Their children are Anthony, 2, Deirdre, just a year old, and Shaw’s son, David, 10. They also have a sheepdog, name of Bridget.

The pilot, however, did appear on Ford Theater. Cast op¬ posite Mr. Duff was Miss Angela Lansbury, who also is a chess player. It might be said that while Mr. Duff has since found himself in a state of perpetual check, Miss Lansbury has careened around the TV film board like a White Queen on a rampage. A British-born actress of no little skill and rather considerable appeal, she has since appeared on Playhouse of Stars, Mirror Theater and no less than three Video Theater episodes. As yet unreleased is what she con¬ siders her best film to date, “The Plaid Beret,” part of the upcoming Royal Canadian Mounted Police series.
