Laois' Darina Allen, a family friend, has been fondly remembering the star.
Angela Lansbury should be admired for her long acting career - but also how she paused it to deal with family issues.
That's according to family friend, Ballymaloe Cookery School Chef and Laois' Darina Allen - the Murder She Wrote star spent five months staying in East Cork in the 1960s.
Angela's family says she passed away peacefully in her sleep in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The Cullohill woman says Angela loved to visit Cork and spent time there when her children got caught up with drugs:
