Despite being 81, British-born actress Angela Lansbury is still one of the hardest working actresses in the US. She's had multiple Academy Award nominations as well as wins at the Emmys and Tonys. My kids know her as Mrs. Potts' voice from the animated film Beauty and the Beast and I remember her from Sweeney Todd, one of the great Broadway productions of the last several decades. She's also a familiar face to most Americans for her many years starring in the CBS television hit Murder She Wrote.
I appreciate the article on Angela Lansbury. Thank you for acknowlegeing her.

I'd like to honor an immigrant today. Sergeant Lee Christian Wilson - who died on his fourth tour in Iraq last week:

It's a sad story from National Public Radio: "Army Sergeant Lee Christian Wilson was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq last week. The 30-year-old from Chapel Hill was not a U-S citizen -- he was Canadian and a legal U-S resident. But he served in the U-S-Army with pride. Wilson was on his fourth tour of duty when he died."
