Angela Lansbury's legacy has a special place in television and film history. The trailblazing actress has inspired a generation of performers. Her illustrious Hollywood film and stage career, a testament to her talent, preceded her transition to television, which further solidified her influence.

From playing Elvis's mother in Blue Hawaii to starring as Mame in the extremely successful Broadway musical, Lansbury was truly one of one.

Because we love her so much, we did a quick Google search to see what #TeamLansbury wanted to know about the actress. The question that showed up the most was, "How old was Angela Lansbury when Murder, She Wrote first aired?"

We did the math, so you don't have to! When the series first aired on September 30, 1984, she was 57.

In 1983, Angela Lansbury returned to the Broadway stage. An article in the Citizen's Voice from that year confirms this information because it begins with the sentence, "Angela Lansbury will turn 57 this year and in November returns to Broadway in the role that made her a major musical stage star."

We're sure you know the musical the article referred to was Mame. Lansbury's birthday is October 16, 1925, and since September is a month before her birthday (if we're being technical, 16 days before since the show debuted on the thirtieth), she was still 57 years old when it premiered.
