As stated in Biography, following Shaw's tragic death in 2003, Angela Lansbury experienced depression which she recovered from by returning to acting; Lansbury specifically cites actress Emma Thompson as important to her resurgence, as Thompson had her cast in "Nanny McPhee" in the role of Aunt Adelaide. In addition to her work in film, Lansbury also restarted her career on the stage when she appeared in the 2007 production of "Deuce," marking her first appearance on Broadway in more than 20 years. However, it was her appearance in the 2009 production of "Blithe Spirit" that really proved Lansbury was back; while she was 83 years old at the time, her acting chops were still in top form, as noted by The Guardian. Her performance even won her a 2009 Tony Award for "Best Featured Actress in a Play," her fifth win and sixth nomination.

Lansbury had a long storied life, but she refused to quit working, continuing to land roles in various projects. Some of the highlights from her later career include appearing in Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music," playing Mrs. Van Gundy in "Mr. Popper's Penguins" alongside Jim Carrey, and starring in "Mary Poppins Returns" as Balloon Lady. The prolific and talented actress was recognized for her life of terrific work at the 2022 Tony Awards, where she was given the Lifetime Achievement Award. Lansbury sadly died on October 11, 2022. She was 96 years old.
