Murder She Wrote
Murder, She Wrote
1984- 1996
I'm in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. It's always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, they're going to carry me off a stage.
Angela Lansbury
The character of Jessica Fletcher also appeared in an episode of Magnum P.I. in 1986.
A series of original novels based upon Murder, She Wrote was published in the late 1980s and early 1990s; in keeping with the spirit of the TV show, the author credit for these books was given to the fictitious "Jessica Fletcher".
Despite Angela Lansbury's success in Murder, She Wrote, she was not the producer's original choice of star. Actressess Jean Stapleton and Doris Day were offered, and consecutively turned down, the main part.
