Angela Lansbury, successful film and television actress, stars in this documentary about her personal program for fitness and well-being. I have been mourning Angela Lansbury, my Hollywood grandmother, these last few months, and having recently turned 40 myself I decided it was a good time to check in on her program for “fitness and well-being” in one’s later years.

The content and writing style are so breezy and light it feels like you are sitting down with auntie Angela for a good chat.

For a ’70s kid like me, she was notable for being the witchy woman in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a Disney film that climaxes with live-action suits of armor coming to life and fighting off Nazis.As Jessica Fletcher, she wore brightly-colored blouses, belted trench coats, fitted blazers, and patterned pashminas.
