Angela Lansbury, who passed away this week at the age of 96, was an Academy Award-winning actress, the voice of the beloved Mrs. Potts and a genuinely wholesome person that could out-charm your grandma. She was also a damn good mother, as demonstrated in a story about Angela Lansbury that involves the Manson Family.
The counterculture movement of the 1960s wasn’t all peace and love. There was also Charles Manson and his Family, whose notorious members included Susan Atkins, Squeaky Fromme and Tex Watson. One of the lesser known members was a teenager named Deidre–and she happened to be the daughter of Angela Lansbury.
In a 2014 interview, Angela Lansbury revealed, “It pains me to say it but, at one stage, Deidre was in with a crowd led by Charles Manson. She was one of many youngsters who knew him – and they were fascinated. He was an extraordinary character, charismatic in many ways,...

"Everything was to teach me something." That's what Linda Kasabian told Joan Didion, a confidante during her first few years after being arrested for helping Susan Atkins, Charles "Tex" Watson, Leslie Van Houten, and Patricia Krenwinkel commit murder at the behest of Charles Manson. Didion, like any number of writers, was fascinated by the idea that something like the Manson Murders could just rip a hole in the fabric of time and space.
