I love her work, from her early films like Gaslight and State of the Union to the TV series Murder, She Wrote.

quote:
Actress Angela Lansbury, whose 75-year career encompassed triumphs on the big screen, in musical theater and on television, died at her Los Angeles home on Tuesday, her family announced in a statement obtained by Variety. She was 96 — five days shy of her 97th birthday.

Nominated for three Oscars, she won seven Tony Awards and holds the record for Emmy actress nods with 12 for her role on “Murder, She Wrote.”

As honored as she was in film and on stage, Lansbury achieved her greatest popularity on the small screen. In 1984 she stepped into a role originally offered to Jean Stapleton: the flinty crime-solving mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher on CBS’ “Murder, She Wrote.” The show became appointment TV for its fans on Sunday nights, and ran for 12 highly rated seasons. The actress captured four Golden Globe Awards for her turn. Between 1997 and 2003, she reprised the role in four telepics.

Goodbye, Jessica Fletcher. I spent many memorable hours with my Mom watching you solve those murders. You'll be missed.

Brian Bilston wrote a poem in her honour called:

Jessica Fletcher Investigates.

Crushed to death,
no blood, no note.
Just a steel beam.

Girder, she wrote.
