Angela Lansbury and Peter Shaw

[ Edited ]

immediately after one of the 'Murder She Wrote' marathon episodes this past weekend (StartTV), there was an 'In memory of Peter Shaw.'  

 

I hadn't been aware that they were married.

 

Anyway for those who are interested:

 

IMBD:  " "Murder She Wrote: The Celtic Riddle"  TRIVIA "

 

Interesting trivia about their connection with Ireland and also Murder She Wrote connection with Ireland.  

 

 

 

Sorry about my original post, which I corrected.  John Thaw played Inspector Morse, not Peter Shaw.

 

Regardless and none the less, very interesting trivia.

She always dressed so nicely. Classy lady. They had one son who was a director on the show, I think. Somehow connected.  She was in a lot of movies.

I read an article some time ago that Angela Lansbury moved her entire family to Ireland. Her daughter was involved with a guy they did not like. She was taking food and money from them to give to him. The decision was to leave, so the daughter would be far away from his influence. The guy was Charles Manson.

John Thaw played Inspector Morse.  He died in February 2002.

 

Peter Shaw died in January 2003.  He was Lansbury second husband.

CORRECTION:

 

I made a huge mistake.......I've been 'researching' and, as the previous poster stated, John Shaw played Inspector Morse.

 

I'll go back and correct my O/P.

 

Very, very sorry.

She took her son and daughter to Ireland to get them away from the drug scene, and the people that they were hanging with, including Charles Manson. They were both heroin addicts.

Re: Angela Lansbury and Peter Shaw

My gosh......First time I've heard about this. 

 

I doubt that I would have brought up this thread had I known.

 

RIP, Anjela and her hubby.  Wonderful actor. I truly enjoyed the 'Murder She Wrote' marathon episodes this holiday weekend. 

 

Brought back to my mind many actors that I had forgotten through the past years.
