Angela Lansbury talk page

edit

There is currently an ongoing dispute over the composition of the lede, such as the clumsiness of the opening paragraph. I think that one sentence is pure fluff, following the intro statement,
In a career spanning eighty years, she played various roles across film, stage, and television. Although based for much of her life in the United States, her work attracted international attention.
I've proposed a reword, In a career spanning eight decades, predominantly based in the United States, she played various roles across film, stage, and television. Condenses the two. However, I'm not tied to it either, just tried to offer an option, since it's been in a stalemate!

Seems there's a deadlock between remove the bolded-italicized part altogether, or rephrase to either my version or another variation. So since you contributed that last edit, I was going to revert it just in case it caused a ruckus. But instead, I figured, leave it since it didn't affect the sentence.

But would you mind coming to weigh in your opinion, whatever it may be. Your perspective can only be beneficial, as the more voices that participate, the better, since it's been far too stagnant and we've gotten nowhere fast. Thanks in advance. (Pardon my loquaciousness, I have zero capacity for truncation. And no shame for these big words lol.) --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk 02:07, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
