Angela
Lansbury's Family:
Peter Shaw
(Peter Pullen)
Peter
Shaw (Peter Pullen) was born in London (UK)
on June 24, 1918. Raised in London, he served
in the British Army during World War II. After
the war he moved to the States and signed a contract
with MGM Studios.
Peter met Angela thanks to Hurd Hatfield, an actor
who invited Angela to a weekend party at a friend's
house in the Ojai Valley. She didn't know how
getting there and Hurd "sent" Peter
taking her.
He married Angela Lansbury on August
12, 1949 in London (UK), St. Columbia's Church,
after they won approval from the Church of Scotland
(both Peter and Angela were divorced).

Their first son, Anthony Peter Shaw, was
born on January 7, 1952 in their home in Encino
(San Fernando Valley). One year later, on April
26, 1953, at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital,
they had a daughter, Deirdre Angela Shaw.
In the 1950s, Peter won custody of his son, David,
and then he and Angela agreed that the time had
come to bring over the ten-year-old boy. David
was born in 1944, while Peter was still married
with Mercia Squires, a model he knew in London.
In the States he worked for the William Morris
Agency and MGM Productions. Later he launched
Corymore Productions at the Universal Studios
with his sons.
Among the other projects, the company co-produced
the long-running hit series Murder, She Wrote.
After 54 happy years with Angela, he died of congestive
heart failure at home in Los Angeles on January
29, 2003.
