Never having seen an episode of Murder She Wrote, it's for her chilling performance in The Manchurian Candidate, alongside Lawrence Harvey and Frank Sinatra, that I'll remember her for.

She was wonderful -
Used to visit Cabot Cove every afternoon to see the Dad from Happy Days play sheriff and get help from Angela in bringin' blighters to justice. She was also very fond of her nephew. And a certain neighbor. She had class and style.Comment

I also know her best from Manchurian Candidate but she also voiced a character in Disney's animated Beauty and the Beast. And when really young she had a small part in Gaslight.Comment

There are two versions of Gaslight made very close together. The one with Lansbury stars Ingrid Bergman. The British version with Anton Walbrook and Diana Wynyard, Hollywood tried to suppress. That's the one I have on a BFI BluRay set.

I'll remember Angela Lansbury fondly, but not necessarily for Gaslight, The Manchurian Candidate, Beauty and the Beast, or Murder She Wrote.
She was a very talented Broadway actor, and starred in Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Anyone Can Whistle, The Pirates of Penzance, Mame, and Dear World (based on The Madwoman of Chaillot). An ex-girlfriend adored her in the film Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
