Celebrity chef Darina Allen paid tribute to her dear friend Angela Lansbury as she revealed the Hollywood star stayed with her at Ballymaloe House for five months to help her children recover from addiction issues.
The founder of the Cork cookery school told how the Murder She Wrote star – who passed away peacefully in her home in Los Angeles on Tuesday - took a year out of her own career to look her children, Anthony and Deirdre, after they fell into bad company in California.
Darina said her mother-in-law Myrtle Allen was best pals with the global superstar.
