Quote:

Dame Angela Lansbury has said women 'must sometimes take blame' for sexual harassment. The veteran actress, 92, said females have always 'gone out of their way' to look as attractive as possible - and argued that this has 'backfired' for them. She spoke in the wake of a string of claims made about inappropriate behavior in Hollywood, after more than 80 women leveled assault allegations against disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein.

“There is no excuse whatsoever for men to harass women in an abusive sexual manner,” the former Murder, She Wrote star said in a statement to Deadline after she was accused of victim-blaming. “And, I am devastated that anyone should deem me capable of thinking otherwise… Those who have known the quality of my work and the many public statements I have made over the course of my life, must know, that I am a strong supporter of Women’s Rights.”

Poor Angela. I understand where she's coming from. It's so hard to know what to say in certain situations. Sometimes the best way is just to not say anything at all. I wish her all the best! Still hoping for a MSW reunion!!

I'm not sure it would be the same without Doctor Seth Hazlitt and Sheriff Amos Tupper.
