Lansbury was already a great celebrity until 1984 when he took over the role of Essesica Fletcher on The long -term detective series "Murder, she wrote." Fletcher was a retired English-teacher-privilege-my-author, who engaged in a series of murders in its small town of Cat Cov, Maine. It was a pleasant and intelligent series awakened by Lansbury's personal performance. The series lasted 247 episodes over 12 seasons. Frustrating, Lansbury did not win any of the 12 EMIs for which he was nominated for "murder, she wrote." Regardless, Esseca Fletcher has become one of the actress' most famous roles, assuring her international fame.

And it was not the first time Lansbury has played a detective. By 1984 "The Mirror Crack'd" is for film production that threw two rival actresses named Marina Greg-Rud (Elizabeth Taylor) and Lola Brucer (Kim Novak). To make things more comfortable, the movie-in-in-film will be directed by Marina's husband, Asonerson (Rock Hudson) and will produce Lola's husband, Marty (Tony Curtis). At the reception, a furious Marina Superfan named Heather (Morin Bennett) accidentally drinks a cocktail for her idol, and she falls dead. Of course, Miss Marpl should be called to examine.

Lansbury was only 55 years old when she appeared in The Mirror Crack'd, so director Guy Hamilton used a wig, cups and makeup to make her look older. She also twists the ankle immediately near the start of the film, demanding most of the true examination that Miss Marple's nephew will do, a character named Dermat Shorts (Edward Fox). Like all the good films about the murder, "The Mirror Crack'd" gets a lot of mileage from the cast. In addition to Taylor, Novak, Hudson and Curtis, the film also includes Ericeraline Chaplin, as well as Charles Gray of "The Rocky Horror Show". Director Hamilton has previously directed four films by the Jameseims Bond (Goldfinger, "Diamonds Are Forever", "Live and Die" and "The Golden Gun Man") and numerous crime, comedy films and military images. He knew how to deal with something. He will take Christie again in 1982 with "Evil under the Sun", starring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poor. Kenneth Branag also said he wanted to make a Miss Marpl film Besides his films on the post.

Christie's herself was glorious With most film adaptations of her works, as directors like Hamilton tend to drain their novels from their hard malicious and insert a vigilant light sense of whim. Christie's stories were not strange. But stray it, if some of them do not have fun.

No doubt, "murder producers, she wrote" she was struck by Lansbury in the "Mirror Crack" and immediately got the idea that the actress should play a detective again. It was such a good idea, the show lasted 12 years. Of course, since the Cov Cov was so small, Essesica Fletcher started visiting other cities at the end; Only so many murders can happen in one place. Harvesto is Lansbury did not have to play Miss MarPle for the second time because her intelligence and energy brought a certain the joy of life to the role.
