Angela Lansbury Net Worth $65 Million
Angela’s mother was an actress so acting was not something new to her. Lansbury started to study acting at Webber Douglas School of Singing and Dramatic Art, after being educated at South Hampstead High School and having decided against a career in music. During this period she appeared in several schools’ productions. Then she was able to be a part of performances of “Lady Windemere’s Fan” and “The Way of the World”. From that time Angela gained more experience and acclaim, dividing her time and work between both sides of the Atlantic, although largely domiciled in the USA. One of Angela’s first roles in movies was “Gaslight”, directed by George Cukor, and also “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, directed by Albert Lewin. These roles added a lot to Angela Lansbury’s net worth. Other outstanding movies that Angela appeared in include “The Private Affairs of Bel Ami”, “The Three Musketeers”, “The Long, Hot Summer”, “The Reluctant Debutante”, “The Manchurian Candidate”, “The Greatest Story Ever Told” and many others. Her latest movies include “Nanny McPhee”, “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” and “Heidi 4 Paws”. All these appearance had a huge impact on Lansbury’s net worth. However, Angela has appeared in over 70 films alone, which gives some indication of her real worth.
As mentioned before, Angela has not only appeared in movies, but at various times during her career she also performs in plays, including on Broadway. Some of them have been “Mame”, “Gypsy”, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and many more. All these musicals and others gained her a lot of success and not only added to Angela Lansbury’s net worth but also made her more famous and acclaimed among other people in the industry.
In addition to this, Angela also appeared in many television shows, among them “The Star and The Story”, “Genera”; “Electric True Theater”, “Murder, She Wrote”, “Touched by an Angel”, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, “Law & Order Trial by Jury”, and many others. These of course also made Angela’s net worth grow. Altogether, Angela has been involved in over 40 TV series, films and shows, a further indication of her popularity with audiences, but also her acting ability and standing with directors especially.
In her personal life, Angela Lansbury married actor Richard Cromwell n 1945, when she was 19 and he 16 years older, but they divorced the following year. Her second marriage was in 1949 to another actor, Peter Shaw, a union which lasted until his death in 2003, and which produced a son and a daughter. Angela is known to support a number of charities, including Abused Wives in Crisis, and organisations conducting research into a cure for HIV/AIDS.

What is more, even though Angela is approaching 90 years of age, she still performs in theatre, showing that she still has the ability and talent to act and sing. It is clear that Angela loves what she does and will probably continue doing it as long as she will be able to. There is also a high possibility that Angela Lansbury’s net worth will also become higher in the future.
