"Lansbury is one of the few actors it makes sense to call beloved. (Science, or at least People magazine, confirmed it in 1994 when she scored a perfect 100 on a 'lovability index.')"

“Malicious, witty, fractious, bitchy, and highly attractive, she is a constant delight, and it is a sadness that Cukor or Minnelli never made more of her.”

She steals another scene in George Cukor's Gaslight. Charles Boyer & Ingrid Bergman didn't have a chance.

“She does comfortable sugar as decently as anyone, but she is a real actress who is more interesting with a touch of lemon juice, or acid. I would trade all the Jessica Fletchers for her wife in Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd.”
