ANGELA LANSBURY - LANSBURY DANCES AGAIN

Hollywood actress ANGELA LANSBURY is able to dance again after having an operation to replace deteriorating cartilage in her knee last year (05). The 80-year-old star admits that although her dancing past left her "crippled" with pain, she was too afraid to have the surgery sooner because she feared it would be too painful. Lansbury says, "I found that people were helping me across the street. I had to pull myself up the stairs. I began to feel ancient, and I feel very young at heart." And now the MURDER SHE WROTE actress wants to educate other women on the importance of having the surgery as soon as possible. Lansbury says, "I had surgery, and I put it off for a long time. I want to tell women: 'Don't put it off.'"
