On hearing the news of the death of Angela Lansbury, I recorded this personal reflection about her influence as a role model of someone doing great work later in life.

I quite often remind myself that I’ve not yet reached the age that Angela Lansbury was when she made Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and I think of what could be possible in the next few decades of my vocational life.

Coincidentally I had been thinking of Angela Lansbury before going to bed last night and woke up to the news of her death this morning, Sydney time.

I expect there will be others making similar reflections, but here’s mine all the same.

Thank you, Angela Lansbury, for being a role model of someone who happily did not retire.
