Lansbury was born into an upper-middle-class family in central London, the daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury. To escape the Blitz, she moved to the United States in 1940, studying acting in New York City. Proceeding to Hollywood in 1942, she signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).

She transitioned her career to Broadway where she won five Tony Awards; four for Best Actress in a Musical for her performances in Mame (1966), Dear World (1969), Gypsy (1975), and Sweeney Todd (1979), followed by a win for Best Featured Actress in a Play for Blithe Spirit (2009). She was Tony-nominated for her roles in Deuce (2007) and A Little Night Music (2010). She was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Tony Award in 2022.
On television, she achieved worldwide fame as the sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the CBS whodunit series Murder, She Wrote (1984–1996), for which she was nominated for 12 consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. The series is one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history. She also acted in films such as Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), Death on the Nile (1978), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Anastasia (1997), Nanny McPhee (2005) and Mary Poppins Returns (2018).
