Troupers

What I know, what I don’t know and the sense I have made about the actor Angela Lansbury. I am a bit like Angela Lansbury but I am not Angela Lansbury. I know what it feels like on the inside to dance as a tall woman. I watched a you tube clip of an American TV show in which Ms Lansbury was shown footage of herself at my age, dancing and crying out ‘what about me?’  in a song about the thwarted ambitions of a middle aged woman. The screen split and so I could see the older Angela, watching the one who was my age. We both watched.
