Remember When - Murder She Wrote

  

When I was a little girl, we used to settle down in front of the TV and enjoy this murder mystery series.

Wherever Jessica Fletcher went - there was always a murder!

I dug up a recent photo of her (she is still acting in movies & theatre) as well as some really interesting facts:

Born 16 October 1925

In an interview with Barbara Walters, Lansbury revealed a firestorm that destroyed the family's Malibu home in September 1970 was a blessing in disguise, as it prompted a move to a rural area in Ireland, where her children were separated from the hard drugs with which they had been experimenting.

Her daughter, Deirdre, had reportedly been briefly involved with the Manson Family.

Her son Anthony Shaw, after a brief fling with acting, became producer/director of Murder, She Wrote and currently is a television executive and director.

Both her brothers, twins Bruce and Edgar, are successful theater producers: Edgar Lansbury, Jr. was instrumental in bringing Godspell to Broadway and Bruce Lansbury was a television producer for such shows as The Wild Wild West and Mission: Impossible

Lansbury has received eighteen Emmy Award nominations over a thirty-three-year period, and holds the record for the most losses by a performer

Now look at how stunning she was as a young actress:

She is scheduled to co-star in Mr. Popper's Penguins opposite Jim Carrey and Adeline opposite Katherine Heigl. Both films are to be released in 2011
