RIP, Angela Lansbury.

Ken’s right about this, too, by the way. I’d like to say Angela Lansbury was robbed for the Oscar, but Patty Duke did give a bravura performance in The Miracle Worker that year. Just bad luck, that’s all. My condolences to Angela’s family and loved ones.

So, Angela Lansbury on Game of Thrones?

Well, that should be entertaining. What? No, I don’t watch the show. I am not exactly certain what the point of the show is supposed to be at this point – and no, thank you, I don’t need an explanation – and the older I get, the less I am entranced with gratuitous.  No, what appeals here are the potential mashups, splices, and general unblinking disbelief at the sight of Jessica Fletcher* no-doubt being literally drenched in blood on at least one occasion, and very possibly set on fire. Should be a thing.
