10. Mrs. Sue-Ellen Gamadge from Gore Vidal's "The Best Man." This was the only show I've ever seen Dame Angela in, and I loved it!
9. Madame Armfeldt - Liaisons from Sondheim's "A Little Night Music."
8. Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris! The entire movie is an absolute gem.
7. Gwendolyn the Fair in The Court Jester. Costars in this film included Basil Rathbone, the incomparable Danny Kaye, and Glynis Johns. (This video focuses on Danny Kaye rather than Angela, but I couldn't find a good clip of her... so enjoy this one and then go watch the full film).
6. Send in the Clowns
5. Cracking up with Len Cariou in "A Little Priest."
4. DAME Angela and DAME Julie during the Julie Andrews Hour! Not many people remember the Julie Andrews Hour (I believe it only lasted a season) but during that season, the performances were just as star-studded as the Carol Burnett Show. In these two clips, you'll also see Steve Lawrence and Rich Little, two other very fine performers. Dream show? Arsenic and Old Lace starring Angela and Julie as Abigail and Martha Brewster. Hurry, somebody mount that!
2. Almost Young from Mrs. Santa Claus. One of my favorite roles for her... she IS Mrs. Santa Claus.
1. Bosom Buddies with Bea Arthur at the 1987 Tony Awards. Two fabulous ladies cutting up and absolutely having a blast. What's not to love? Also, Angela knows how to dress... when I get my first Tony, I fully intend to wear a gown more or less exactly like this.
There you have it! My favorite Angela moments. I love this lady and I hope I have her passion, drive, and class when I'm eighty-some years old! Hope you enjoyed the list!
