Dame Angela Lansbury turned 94 on Oct. 16, 2019. But the legendary British-American-Irish actress shows no signs of quitting the industry; she’s appearing in a one-night-only benefit performance of Oscar Wilde’s beloved The Importance of Being Earnest in New York City on Nov. 18.
Lansbury is billed to play the ludicrously stuffy aristocrat Lady Augusta Bracknell, the perfect role to exemplify over seven decades of skillful character acting.
