Angela Lansbury Escapes Manson Circle

In the late 1960s, Angela Lansbury discovered that her teenage son and daughter were using heroin and had fallen in with a crowd linked to Charles Manson in Los Angeles. Fearing Manson’s influence and what drugs were doing to her children, she relocated the family from LA to Ireland, which she later described as “free from bad influences.” Once there, she turned down acting work so she could focus on supporting their recovery. The move pulled her children out of that environment and became a turning point in their lives.
