Members Paul Raven Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 Shootdown was an NBC Monday movie and ranked #27 16.0/25 In the film, Nan Moore (Lansbury) loses her son in the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 disaster. She wishes to discover the truth about her son's death. Competition was ABC Football #21 16.8/30 CBS Murphy Brown # 32 15.5/22 designing women #30 15.8/23 Almost Grown #44 12.9/21 So this was a more dramatic role than her CBS offerings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 4 Members Share Posted February 4 The subject matter was certainly grittier. Angela Lansbury's non-MSW TV projects tended to be more sentimental fare, with her roles in "Lace" and "Rage of Angels: The Story Continues" being possible exceptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted February 18 Members Share Posted February 18 Angela did what most female tv stars did in the 80s, they played roles that were a departure from their tv role. She played dramatic (Rage of Angels, Shootdown), sentimental (Shell Seekers), and did two romance oriented movies (The love she sought and Mrs arris goes to Paris). Jessica Fletcher was a great character to play, but in some ways, the cozy mystery/procedural vibe boxed the character in...so I could understand why she did tv movies and stage work. She had the best of both worlds...a steady income and an outlet to continue playing new characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
