While procedures like “hip replacement” and “knee surgery” almost sound routine these days, they actually present some pretty significant lifestyle changes for the patient. In 1994, at the age of 68, Angela Lansbury had to undergo a hip replacement, according to Deseret News. “She has had some problem with (the hip) but not to the extent that it impinged on her work,” said Dennis Brown of CBS News following the surgery. “She knew that if she was going to deal with it this was the time to do it, the minute she went on hiatus” (via News & Record). Lansbury’s hip replacement took place just two days after she wrapped up filming an entire season of “Murder, She Wrote.”
She also had her left knee replaced in July of 2005, according to “Today.” Apparently, the procedure was one she’d put off for some time, but after a while, it became apparent that knee replacement was inevitable. “I found that people were helping me across the street. I had to pull myself up the stairs,” she said in 2006. “I began to feel ancient, and I feel very young at heart.” She was 80 at the time.
