Dear readers, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of television and film actress Dame Angela Lansbury. She was perhaps best known for her role on the TV detective show "Murder She Wrote" where she played novelist/detective Jessica Fletcher on CBS for twelve seasons. The show made her one of the richest women in the United States at the time, amassing an estimated fortune of $100 million for her. Her legacy as a film and stage actress goes much further, however, earning her three Academy Award nominations, a Bafta Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002 and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2013, the Academy would recognize his lifelong contributions to stage and screen and present him with an honorary Oscar for his marvelous career that spanned truly iconic roles, starring in classics such as " Gaslight", "The Picture of Dorian Gray", "The Manchurian Candidate", "Blue Hawaii", "The Three Musketeers", "Bedknobs and Brooms", "Death on the Nile", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Nanny McPhee". She is survived by three children and her brother, producer Edgar Lansbury, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Angela, it was no mystery that we loved you…
