Reason why I'm saying this is she's watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and liking it. I'm actually surprised she is since it doesn't shy away from anything. Maybe she's better than she was when I was younger.

“your hand touching mine. this is how galaxies collide.”

At the time, she was living in Malibu and was already an established actress. Her daughter, Deidre Shaw, had begun associating with groups marked by drug use and a circle revolving around a charismatic figure in the hills of Los Angeles. Only later would that name become known worldwide.

Lansbury became aware of the situation while everything still seemed under the surface. But she did not wait.

In agreement with her husband, Peter Shaw, she made a firm decision: to leave California. The family moved to County Cork. They changed home, habits, and environment. The goal was to get away from that context and start over elsewhere.

For about a year, she put her career on hold. She stayed at home, kept a close eye on her children, and tried to build a different routine. No film sets, no events—just family.

Over time, the situation improved. Deidre distanced herself from those circles and built a more private life. Her brother, Anthony Shaw, also found his path, moving toward work behind the camera and becoming a television director.

In the years that followed, Lansbury returned to her career and achieved major success with the series Murder, She Wrote, which ran for twelve seasons.

That decision, made at a delicate moment, remained one of the most decisive actions of her private life.
