"The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 AM today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday," her family said in a statement.
Saw that. And 'no cause of death was announced'. I guess we'll just have to wait for the inquest.
Also, Eileen Ryan (Sean Penn's mum and an actress in her own right) dead at 94.

Boru Saw that myself. I didn't know that Sean Penn's mother was an actress....till her death was announced.

People don’t realize what a stunner Lansbury was in her younger days.

A classic beauty of that time.

Her best role was as Eleanor Iselin.
Another interesting fact is that Angela Lansbury was steeped in socialist politics, with her father being a prominent British Communist and her grandfather being one of the early leaders of the Labour party (and a very committed pacifist).

Japanese manga artist Kazuki Takahashi, best known as the author of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" died while trying to rescue people from drowning.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm terribly sorry to hear that, while applauding Mr Takahashi's bravery and empathy.

And so many other fun roles.
Vaguely remember him from Nuns on the Run with, I believe, Eric Idle.
