Angela Lansbury: should she have played Chris MacNeil?

It would have been right after Bedknobs. I think the matronly aspect our have given the role a new dimension.

Angie turned down some good roles as she didn't think she could find anything in the character to relate too. She was off One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and turn it down. She says she doesn't regret it but we all know how thirsty she is for an Oscar I bit she can't bear to watch the movie.

She also turned down The Killing of Sister George as she didn't want to play an obsessive lesbian on the verge of collapse. I bet she could have got a nom for it. Oh well.

She was terrific in "The Manchurian Candidate". It's really something to see her playing a villain.

Thanks OP!! I loved Bedknobs and Broomsticks as a child and had completely forgotten it starred Angela. Whenever I thought of it, I pictured Julie Andrews.
