The world is a little dimmer now that this remarkable woman has left us.
Thank goodness we are able to watch performances like this . She will never be forgotten. ❤️
Grace and elegance says it all about Angela. We’ll all miss her.
Angela Lansbury is unbelievable. And even a nicer person in real life. Just an incredible talent.
I was born in 1973. Angela was so talented and loved her in Beauty and the Beast and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. RIP Angela.
The show’s producers were no fools that year. They knew Angela Lansbury would be perfect for this type of opening.
This clip is everything for those of us who grew up on variety, especially the quick glance of Carol in the audience.
At least we don't have to suffer through Prince Harry's wife doing this kind of performance...too "bimbo" for her.
@@mystique592 *chuckle* part of my family is in the business. My only acting gig was playing a dead soldier at the battle of Agencourt in college. The cool thing about that was it was with Sir Ian McKellen. He let us take a curtain call. I love that on occasion I can turn on TV and watch my beloved stepfather.
Agreed. I was only eight when this would have aired. I’m sure my mother and I watched it. ❤️
Angela Lansbury is just so amazing. I could watch her perform every day.
I was only 9 years old when this was filmed. I never realized that Angela Lansbury was so glamorous and gorgeous! Thanks Angela for giving us your special talents and beauty.
Go watch her in Bedknobs and Broomsticks or Portrait of Dorian Grey when she was a demure blonde bombshell. Always classy
Reason in peace, WE MAY SAY TODAY AND TOMORROW! ANGELA LANSBURY. GREAT DANCER, SINGER AND ACTRESS!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ GREAT TV. STAR OF MURDER SHE WROTE!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊
When the Oscars were still about getting a chance to see actual stars . It was glamour and class .
This is just Fabulous! I really do wish the entertainement industry would still be as classy as it was 40 years ago. Incredible how elegant yet simple it was. I loved every second of this video .
Absolutely nothing today is as classy as it appeared to be 40 yrs ago.
You call this “simple”!? Lol
Classy? The same abuse went on behind the scenes if not worse. Racism was worse. Sexism was worse. Homophobia was worse. What exactly was classy about it?
@@phily8093 what, exactly, is “abusive”, here?
@@susanpayer3472 nothing is abusive here. I love Angela and the performance. My point is a general one.
GREAT opening number, GREAT performance by Ms Lansbury.
Just 11 years before her best-known starring role on Murder, She Wrote.
she was huge on broadway before MSW
Angie-baby's really & truly a very special lady!!!
Awesome! Back when we truly had glamour & talent.
Wow and she was nearly 50 years old at this point. What a power house
My God! This woman could do *everything,* and then some! ⭐
Truly a huge stage and tv star we lost. She could do It all. Ms Lansbury was on in a million. She will be missed......
Yes, Charles. I fear her kind is an endangered species, if not extinct. I try not to be cynical or stuck in the past, but watching this reminds me how much our culture has eroded and devolved.
What a fantastic and magical production. There will never be another Lansbury. RIP
Holy shit that tap dancing and flip were epic!
Rest in Peace Angela Lansbury
Angela Lansbury coupled with the genius musical direction of John Williams? This performance is priceless.
Oh how I miss the talents of yesterday's Hollywood Actors and Actresses !!!
Angela Lansbury dance moves was so golden I can't believe my eyes.
I believe she's around 48 yrs old in this video and just watch the back flip Angela does in her dance number!!!!
I remember Liza Minnelli asked Bob Fosse how to perform a dance scene for the upcoming movie "Cabaret" and Bob said to Liza NOT HOW BUT WHY!!
That statement has always stayed with me. I have watched the Great and Talented Angela dance in this video several times and her Why was to present Hollywood as a
theater 🎭.
As well as Angela, that year of films! I was 16years old and got to see Sleuth, Cabaret, The Immigrants, The Godfather & Lady Sings the Blues all amazing and eye opening to this teenager in Australia
These were the days when it took talent and hard work to be a movie ⭐️ star! It was glamorous and flawless- Angela Lansbury never disappoints with a performance…..total talent
This opening could have been pretty thin on content, like the 1930's musical scenes it was patterned after, but it wasn't, because of now sadly, the late Dame Angela. While the chorus is flouncing around kind of aimlessly in feathers (no Busby Berkeley spectacle here) , from the moment she appears at the top of the stairs as the star, the story gets focused because she has transformed herself convincingly from the actress frantically preparing for the film into THE star with the aura of a star. The inimitable Don Crichton (who could dance anything with anyone) appears as the lead male dancer in the tap dancing sequence. Losing Dame Angela, like losing Betty White on New Year's Eve this past year, is a great loss to us. Fortunately, we can keep these moments in her career with us, thanks to the internet and the Academy's release of videos like these.
Any idea who wrote the song?
I just cried... what an amazing woman............
Angela Lansbury, a fine actress and a class act.
She was such an icon! What a fun performance
There will never be anyone like Angela again. They shattered the mold.
Gosh, she was flawless. The earliest movie I saw her in didn't even have song and dance. I think she could do it all.
Didn’t Ms. Lansbury play the part of the maid in the movie “Gaslight”?
@@amethystanne4586 Yes, that's the one. It was a surprise to see her so young when I had mainly seen her on Murder, She Wrote.
@@markdavies9117 she played that part so well. Really low-key.
I think she was also in The Picture of Dorian Grey? Yes, she was cute and darling in Jerome Kern's Till The Clouds Roll By.
Angela Lansbury sure knows how to make an entrance!
***** Exactly! :)
Not only a class act, but the classiest. Love you, Agela.
What a pro!
Well now!!! Aren't we all?!
Back when class, dignity and talent were the rule amongst actors, now unfortunately, class, dignity and talent are the rare exception.
That opening with dear Angela was pure class! Thanks for sharing.
This is so much fun to watch. I love the dresses, and - off course - I love Angela! This is an unbelievable performance.
Angela Lansbury is amazing and my favourite for many years.she can do anything in showbiz....
As Oscar openers go, this one is a bit quirky and campy... yet thoroughly entertaining, thanks to Lansbury's genius. And I guess we can also add "great hoofer" to her seemingly endless list of talents.
This is Mame revenge. Angela, God rest her soul, proved in this number she was the ONLY choice for Mame. No actor today in Hollywood has half the talent this woman did.
Angela Lansbury is pure magic....always!
When the opening segment flicks to Billy Dee Williams arriving.... He's so handsome and charismatic that you almost can't see anything else, despite his being surrounded by beautiful people
Now that is how you should open an awards show. with class, and decorum and Angela Lansbury (who is nailing this especially and 5:27 )
I miss the way things were back when... if only they concentrate on this type of entertainment instead of selling the jewelry, clothes designers etc.
Garth Schilling that flip made me audibly gasp!
This was the days of great actresses and great talent, much better than what is on offer these days. Who knew she had legs like that. I loved Dame Angela in everything I saw her in. She will be sadly missed
Oh how I love those good old days..they do not make such poetry any more🤗
...from Gaslight to Mary Poppins Returns, this proves the lady was class; all class; thank you, Mrs Potts.
Gliding down that staircase in that glittering silver gown, Angela showed 'em who the real Mame is.
This number should have convinced Warners that Angela was the only true choice to portray Mame on screen.
The glamor of old Hollywood. Never to be seen again. Except on TH-cam.
Long Live Angela Lansbury!!!
I sure hope so, Teddy!
2020...I think she's still here.
Angela giving 1,000 percent as always!
Yes indeed, George!
Murder She Wrote is the greatest mystery/adventure series ever, in my humble opinion.
She must be an adorable lady in person!
Wow! She was fabulous!!!
What a class act Angela Lansbury is!!!!!!
Hard to believe Angela was 48 here! She dances and looks like some half of that age!
Angela Lansbury was always old
Nowhere to go but up
Fenomenal Angela ,no sabia que ademas de actriz era cantante,bailaba tan bien,etc......!!!!!!!
i know its weird to reply to a comment 5 years later, but yes! how was she nearly 50 during this number! what a talent!
@@milton7851 No, she wasn't...were you?
This was during the time when there were actually TRUE celebrities to celebrate and stand in a crowd for
No wonder no one watches the Oscars anymore. Where did the class, the elegance, the style go?
She's amazing...nothing she can't do.
Angela Lansbury is simply gorgeous and captivating as always.
Gorgeous was never a word used to describe Lansbury. Cute, maybe, but whatever. Clearly her peers -- Ginger Rogers, Ann Miller, Debbie Reynolds, even Mitzi Gaynor -- must've been booked, so they went w/slow but steady Angela.
Rude much? Angela is a LEGEND.
Sue Walsh Of course she's a legend. I didn't say she wasn't. She just wasn't the right kind of legend for this number, nor did she measure up to the talents of the others I mentioned, with perhaps the exception of Gaynor.
She's prancing around here like she's a 25 year old just making it in the biz, when she was nearly 50 and didn't have the chops to pull it off. Sorry if the truth hurts.
@DDumbrille
The truth? No. Just your opinion.
Thats your opinion, Angela Lansbury is beautiful here and look at her figure , she's already a mom 40-50 here , not every women can pull that off at still young but middleage,she looks great and is a great star
An incredible woman and actress. No words to describe her.
Such an awesome start to the awards...now it's not even good enough to watch. Lansbury was so professional.
When people had talent and class. Beautiful with their clothes on & actual singing & dancing ❤️
RIP Angela Lansbury
hysterical to see Clint Eastwood try to fill in for host Charleton Heston! Who was late because of traffic. But you can see how uncomfortable Clint was with the whole impromptu thing!
You'll find him talking about it with Johnny Carson on The Tonight and yes it's on youtube!
😂It’s peculiar seeing him so young & not altogether cool 😎 calm and collected!!! Must try to find that interview clip where he talks about it.
He was still great to look at though!
I've always liked her - didn't realise she could dance too! Brilliantly talented woman.
+jude4jazz She can do anything!
Look how gorgeous Angela Lansbury is here and how she kept her figur, great star
I love Angela Lansbury!
wow... our celebrities and stars then were so much more talented then the ones in Hollywood today. they could all sing and dance professionaly.
Thought I'd watched & remembered Oscar shows back to the 70s but this one seems new. If it was March 1973, I was post-grad & in Europe. Lord! Everyone's old or dead & beautiful & talented!❤❤❤❤
Don Chrichton was a phenomenal dancer. Tall, handsome, classy - he had all the right moves. Watch him dance among the other dancers - he's the best one!
And Edward Albert was one of the most beautiful men I have ever laid eyes on. Sad that he never quite became a star and died much too young (but he was a good son, husband and father, and made environmental causes his lifelong passion).
Rest up, Angela Lansbury
What's bizarrely twisted is that "Mame" was probably going into production around this time, with the woefully miscast Lucille Ball, and here's Angela being hired to open the awards and go through several scenes with parallels to the stage and film version. What? (the Bob Mackie designs are just way over the top, lovin' it).
And the reason they didn't cast Angela is that they thought she didn't have the star quality.
MediaLover194 Not only that, but Lucille Ball bought the rights and cast herself
J Greg Veneklasen
wchumphries doesn’t it just make you so mad? What could have been!!!!
@@MediaLover194 Not true. Lucille Ball bought the rights, always intending to star in the movie herself. So there was never any question of anyone else doing it at that time.
When California Shined..and people had RESPECT!!
And that's why they got respect
wowowowow amazing!! i love her so much!! what an amazing performance!!
She is one of my all time favorites. Her death makes me so sad.
Rest In Peace Dame Angela Lansbury, I miss you. 🙏🌹
Angela Lansbury! Love her!
Can we get back to this time ...
Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a very underrated Disney movie.
Best Disney movie ever made. I have watched it 200 times plus in my 38 years
What a voice Heston used to have. No wonder whenever there was a disaster movie he would be the 1st choice to save everyone.
A rare talent Ms Lansbury She can do anything
***** Yes to both you folks! Angie forever! When we lose her, we've lost a LOT of show biz.
@@Glinkaism1 Well, it's 2020 now, and we haven't lost her yet!
Wow ! It's more like the opening of the Tony's ! Maybe if they did something like this now they would get more viewers !
i recognize many of the dancers from The Carol Burnett Show.
Did not know that she could tap dance. Love her. She has won many many awards. It's a shame they have taken a nose dive over the years. They have nothing to do with acting anymore, Just who you know. BACK IN THE DAY, THE ONES THAT DESERVED THEM , GOT THEM.
She still has it bless you Angela Lansbury ❤
I love Angela Lansbury❤️
Oh this warms my heart ❤️
Fantastic, we need glamor back in the Oscar's as well as talent
She really could do it all.
Angela is nearly 90 years old and still a talented class act. Astoundly she has never won an Oscar nor an Emmy for her performances!!! Hollywood is such bs.
She has the Honorary Oscar now. She needs an Emmy to be an EGOT (she has a Grammy and five Tonys)
It's a shame that the 12 years that Murder, She Wrote were on the air didn't give her ONE.
She was wonderful!
OMG Clint Eastwood is so gorgeous and funny!
Uh..oh...Angela is on stage... I bet one of those dancers was murdered during or right after this number.
Angela Lansbury Love her !!! Such talent !!! Love her in Bedknobs and broomsticks
Stage actress Angela !!
"Death on the Nile" and "Murder, She Wrote" know in Japanese.
Her main activity of the place is the stage but I have never seen her stage .
I saw a good video. Thank you.
Fabulous to watch! Would have been lovely to see Robert Wise's win for best director for THE SOUND OF MUSIC today, which is his 99th birthday, but I will be very patient. The admins are being very responsive to specific requests, and I love seeing them all. Thanks!
I probably watched this, it had been a great year for movies. The Godfather and Cabaret are still my top 2 favorite movies. So much classier back then, the opening was much better, and the women don't look like theyve been starving themselves.
There is no one like her!
Compare this to the bland openings of today’s shows. This was a full blown production!
The shows ran more than 3 hours. It was determined the production numbers had to go,
And after a few yours of REALLY DREADFUL numbers many agreed.
Such a talented Lady
I'm not a fan of Oscar production numbers but I liked that one a lot, especially the very end.
love Angela Lansbury ❤️
I miss you Angela 💖💔
You know. I must confess I used to hate these opening numbers. I remember Ann-Margret, Ray Bolger, Telly Savalas, Teri Garr...But now, as I see these I'm nostalgic for these opening numbers. They really set the tone for the whole show. Great clip. Great Angela! Though I still think her Thoroughly Modern Millie is her penultimate performance.
Dame Angela was not in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
@@dadodydo She was not. But she performed the nominated song on the 1968 Oscar show and stole the night. Dame Julie merely appeared at the end to pronounce Best Picture.
best opening ever.
