One of the longest serving actresses is that of Angela Lansbury. She is an incredible 95 years old yet she still manages to keep her hand in the acting game with the voiceover and even the odd appearance work. She is currently the oldest living Holiday Nominee (she has one for Lifetime Achievement) dating back to the Golden age of Hollywood. She has starred in family favorites for Disney like Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Beauty and the Beast (where she was obliged to sing as well as act!). There is memorable appearance as the harridan Grannie from Nanny McPhee and she earned a decent crust from her long running television show Murder. She Wrote as the eponymous crime writer come detective Jessica Fletcher. She certainly deserves a bit of down time and she would certainly find that in Residential Park Homes like the ones at http://www.parkhomelife.com/.
