Where to Watch ‘Murder, She Wrote’ to Honor the Late Angela Lansbury

Angela Lansbury’s passing at the age of 96 leaves not just a hole in our hearts, but a hole in the whole of culture. With a career spanning almost 80 years, Lansbury was simply one of those public figures whose work generation after generation of film and TV fans knew. You can look at her body of work, from Gaslight to The Manchurian Candidate and from Bedknobs and Broomsticks to Beauty and the Beast, and find something you love. But right now, the piece of pop culture that you probably want to stream to commemorate Lansbury’s body of work is Murder, She Wrote.

Already 40 years into a legendary career, Lansbury found an entirely new audience with the CBS murder mystery series. She spent 12 seasons playing Jessica Fletcher, a mystery author who had a knack for solving mysteries in her day-to-day life — and it was a good thing she could, because people just happened to die everywhere she went. With no regular supporting cast and a globetrotting premise, the then 59-year-old Lansbury essentially had to carry the Emmy-nominated series on her own for over 250 episodes.

The work was rewarded, at first with ratings and then with the kind of transcendent fame that goes along with being beamed into living rooms across the world on a weekly basis for 12 years. Of all of Lansbury’s work, Murder, She Wrote is by far the most prominent and the one that millions of people have incredibly fond memories of.
