Twitter Reacts to Critique of Angela Lansbury's Appearance at Oliviers
Angela Lansbury (Jessica Fletcher to her friends) is 89 years old. EIGHTY NINE. Her age, however, shouldn't even come into this. The following words printed about her face shouldn't be written about anyone, irrespective of age.
Regarding Dame Lansbury's appearance at the Olivier Awards on Monday, the following was printed:

Obviously, twitter is up in arms.
