THE ADDITIONAL LETTER I COULD HAVE WRITTEN TO OFFER MY BELOVED MOTHER, PHYLLIS DELORES McMILLAN (MAIDEN NAME PHYLLIS DELORES GARDNER), A PRESENT THAT MOTHER WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY TREASURED


Mother mentioned to me in the 1980s that the CBS Television Network series "Murder, She Wrote," was a favorite of Mother's, and that Mother particularly enjoyed the acting style of the leading female star of that series, Angela Lansbury.

Angela Lansbury was born in England on October 16, 1925, and later emigrated to the United States. According to a Wikipedia account I read last night, Angela Lansbury is a biological mother with two sons, and she holds citizenship in the European nation of Ireland. (It is not clear from that Wikipedia account whether Ms. Lansbury also holds citizenships in the United States and The United Kingdom---assuming that a triple citizenship were somehow possible for anyone, and I myself have never heard of any case of someone holding citizenship in three nations.)

I was reminded again this year ---10 years after my admirably law-enforcement-minded Mother passed away in the Austin area, unfortunately--- that I could have written to Angela Lansbury in the 1980s to politely ask that Hollywood actress if she would please directly mail to Mother's and Father's Austin-area home a photo of Angela Lansbury that featured a nice inscribed message addressed to "Mrs. Phyllis McMillan" or simply "Phyllis".

I might have even requested that Angela Lansbury in her inscribed message possibly state to Mother:

"Dear Mrs. McMillan,

"It is good to sense that you are among the honorable, crime-prevention-minded American citizens who strongly support full and successful and prompt investigation of any and all homicide cases and any and all attempted homicide cases that occur or have occurred anywhere in the United States. It is also good to sense that you, like me, strongly support prompt and successful criminal-law prosecution in a court of law in the United States of any and all persons who committed either homicide, manslaughter, or attempted homicide anywhere in this country."

I learned this evening, through a Google search I pursued on Angela Lansbury, that her current home address as cited at the "www.fanmail.biz" website, is:

"Angela Lansbury
"635 North Bonhill Road
"Los Angeles, CA 90049-2301
"USA"

An alternate address for Angela Lansbury, according to that same "www.fanmail.biz" website, is:

"Angela Lansbury,
"Artists International Management,
"7409 Beverly Blvd.
"Los Angeles, CA 90036
"USA"
