She appeared as the lead in "Mame" on Broadway in 1966, gold-lamé pajamas and all. Her character slaps Judy Garland in "Harvey Girls." She played a maid again, a villainous one, in 1951's "Kind Lady." Unhappy with her film career, Lansbury turned back to theater and radio plays, and also started appearing in television. Mayer kept casting me as a series of venal bitches," she wrote in her autobiography. She appeared in a handful of hardly stellar films, frequently in minor and dastardly roles. She would go on to receive six Golden Globes, 18 Primetime Emmy Awards and three Academy Award noms, not to mention a slew of lifetime achievement awards and six Tonys. In 2014, Queen Elizabeth II appointed her Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.īut first, she was typecast by MGM and cast less often than other actors. She’s up to great things.Signed to MGM, Lansbury followed "Gaslight" with her sullen sister turn in "National Velvet" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray," racking up two Academy Award nominations and a Golden Globe along the way.

The quick pitch? Well, here’s the blip from Publisher’s Marketplace:Īuthor of the forthcoming THE GROWER, Alison Stine's TRASHLANDS, a novel where, at a strip club at the end of the world, a single mother has to choose between love and survival in the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become after climate change floods re-draw the coasts of America, pitched as an Appalachian THE CHILDREN OF MEN, to Margot Mallinson at Mira, by Eric Smith at P.S. A novel of beauty and horror, violence and innocence loss, it’s yet another almost indescribable work, and I just cannot wait for readers to get their hands on it. The first few chapters of Trashlands left me gasping. The Grower publishes next year with Mira, and I’m so thrilled to announce that her second novel, TRASHLANDS, will be publishing with Mira in 2021. She pens stories that weave in the speculative and the terrifying, in order to deliver powerful messages about poverty, climate change, and how the way we treat each other is just as important as the way we treat the world around us. Describing Alison Stine’s harrowing literary fiction is a challenge.
