A silver lining of beloved stars passing on is we regularly hear tales about them we’d by no means heard earlier than. Usually these tales are about assembly followers and being nice individuals — this one is kind of a bit completely different…
Angela Lansbury is thought greatest both for being one of many queens of the comfortable thriller on the longrunning Murder, She Wrote or for being a golden-voiced Disney staple in motion pictures like Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Beauty and the Beast. Neither of those public pictures would lead you to consider she ever had something to do with essentially the most infamous murders of the twentieth century, and but… After her passing this week a tweet went viral revealing simply that!

A author named Christopher Moloney shared:
“Angela Lansbury told a story about her daughter falling under the spell of a Hollywood deadbeat. He would pick the girl up from school and get her to steal money and food from her parents for him. Worried, Lansbury moved the entire family to Ireland. The guy was Charles Manson.”

Wait, WHAT?!?
The craziest factor about this story is that it’s 100% true.
Lansbury did certainly reveal in a 2014 interview with DailyMail.com that she and her household had a run-in with Charles Manson — one thing which received extra terrifying after their escape!
She and husband Peter Shaw had been dwelling within the hills close to Malibu within the Sixties when their teenage youngsters, Anthony and Deidre, fell into some scary habits — Deidre with some scarier individuals! The actress recalled:
“It started with cannabis but moved on to heroin. There were factions up in the hills above Malibu that were dedicated to deadly pursuits. It pains me to say it but, at one stage, Deidre was in with a crowd led by Charles Manson. She was one of many youngsters who knew him – and they were fascinated. He was an extraordinary character, charismatic in many ways, no question about it.”
Angela took drastic measures most mother and father wouldn’t have. She moved all the household away. And not simply homes, she moved CONTINENTS!
“I said to Peter, ‘We have to leave.’ So we upped sticks and moved the family to a house I found in County Cork. I was drawn to Ireland because it was the birthplace of my mother and it was also somewhere my children wouldn’t be exposed to any more bad influences. I still have a house there which I try and visit at least once a year. So I refused all work for a year and simply kept house. I bought Elizabeth David’s books and learnt how to cook properly. It was a wonderful time in my life.”
Obviously most folk don’t have the luxurious of quitting work for a complete yr. But even those that do not often give all of it up simply to guard their children. And Angela’s sacrifice paid off. She defined:
“Anthony pulled right out of his bad habits quite quickly. It took Deidre (now aged 60) a little longer but she finally got married and she and her husband now live in Los Angeles, where they run their own Italian restaurant.”
Amazing. Deidre may have ended up in jail together with Manson’s different followers, who in 1969 had been talked into killing seven individuals. They had been of their teenagers and early 20s, too. Thankfully for her sake, her mom was the incomparable Angela Lansbury. #RIP
