This is another for the "thought she was already dead" pile for me.

I regret to report something similar for myself!

Face looks familiarish. But can't place any flicks she was in. Something Dick-van-Dyke-ish maybe?

Manchurian Candidate

Her MGM contract ended in 1952.

She was in some really corny American television serial.

I once listened to an aspiring actress spout off about what a legend Angela Lansbury was, and how painful it was to watch her humiliate herself in that television show.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks might be the one you're thinking of. ;)

The "something Dick Van Dyke-ish" isn't far off. Possibly her last role was in Mary Poppins Returns. She was definitely showing her age by then - but then, I think in your 90s you're allowed to and she still gave a great performance. She was indeed in Bedknobs and Broomsticks and while Murder She Wrote had its corn, it was enjoyable light entertainment. The Missus and I liked it.
