Angela Lansbury Net Worth: ‘Murder, She Wrote’ Legend Starring In ‘Blithe Spirit,’ How Much Is She Making?

With a long career that goes all the way back to the 40s, when she starred in her first film alongside legendary "Casablanca" actress Ingrid Bergman, Angela Lansbury's net worth is higher than people might think.

She's had a long career in show business: Angela Lansbury's net worth comes from her work in films, television (like her long-running classic 80s and 90s mystery show "Murder, She Wrote") and even the theater, as she's the person who's hosted the Broadway Tony Awards the most times, a record five, one more than current hosting sweetheart Neil Patrick Harris.

According to her IMDb page, Angela Lansbury's net worth started growing exponentially after the actress had a small role in the 1944 film "Gaslight," a Hollywood classic thriller and film noir starring the beautiful and talented Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, in the role that would give the "Casablanca" star the very first Academy Award of her career.

However and despite Angela Lansbury's net worth, the "Murder, She Wrote" actress wasn't nearly that lucky in regards of the Oscars, having been nominated a total of three times in her entire career without winning the competitive award even once: her first nod came for the abovementioned "Gaslight," then the very next year for her performance in "The Picture of Dorian Gray," and finally almost two decades later for the classic film "The Manchurian Candidate," co-starring Frank Sinatra.

The actress has failed to get any more Oscar nods ever since, though she's triumphed in other award shows: Lansbury has an amazing six Golden Globes (most of them for "Murder, She Wrote") and fifteen Emmy nominations for different roles throughout her career.

Currently, as SFist reports, the actress is co-starring in the play "Blithe Spirit" in San Francisco after a successful stint in Broadway.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Angela Lansbury's net worth right now stands at $65 million - a great sum for a recipient of the famous Academy Lifetime Achievement Award!
