Those sly dogs at Script Magazine! They posted the smiling mug of the twenty-five year-old Angela Lansbury (b. 1925) on the cover of their rag, briefly praising her for being the youngest performer to have ever been nominated for an Academy Award (she soon won the 1944 Best Supporting Actress statue for “Gaslight”), and ran a “profile” of the lass on a page eight article that was misleadingly titled “Our Cover Girl”, only to devote 85% of the columns to her illustrious pedigree!
Abusive journalists not only make our blood boil, but they also make us write run-on sentences. The article says nothing about the fact that her love of acting was so great that she braved the U-Boat infested waters of the Atlantic Ocean in 1942 in order to get to Hollywood. However, you will learn about her salad years as a shop girl at the Bullocks Wilshire department store.
