Edgar George McIldowie Lansbury (born 12 January 1930) is an award-winning British-American theatre, film, and television producer.
Born in London, Lansbury was the son of Belfast-born actress Moyna Macgill and Edgar Lansbury, a politician and businessman, and the grandson of former Labour Party leader George Lansbury. He is the younger brother of actress Angela Lansbury and the twin brother of television producer Bruce Lansbury; both brothers became United States citizens in 1954.
