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.
