List of Murder, She Wrote guest stars

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Murder, She Wrote is an American television mystery series starring Angela Lansbury as mystery writer and amateur detective Jessica Fletcher.[1][2]

The series aired for 12 seasons with 264 episodes from 1984–96 on the CBS network. It was followed by four TV films and a short-lived spin-off series was produced in 1987, The Law & Harry McGraw, starring Jerry Orbach and Barbara Babcock, both of whom made numerous appearances (the former as Harry McGraw; the latter in various episodes in different roles). It is one of the most successful and longest-running television shows in history, with close to 23 million viewers in its prime, and was a staple of the CBS Sunday night lineup for a decade.[3] In syndication, the series is still successful throughout the world.

Retrospective[edit]

A third-season episode titled "The Days Dwindle Down" featured Jeffrey Lynn, Harry Morgan and Martha Scott, playing the same characters they played in the 1949 feature film Strange Bargain.[citation needed] The episode used black-and-white footage from that film as flashback scenes.

Former film and stage co-stars[edit]

Lansbury's two Broadway Sweeney Todd co-stars, Len Cariou and George Hearn and her successor Dorothy Loudon, appeared. Cariou appeared in numerous episodes as British special agent Michael Haggerty.

Judy Garland's daughter, Lorna Luft, appeared in two episodes, including an early episode with Vivian Blaine as her mother. (Garland and Lansbury had appeared together in The Harvey Girls and Till the Clouds Roll By, though not sharing scenes in the latter.)

Film co-stars (some from many years earlier, and, in some cases not having shared any scenes) including Gene Barry (The Purple Mask), Barbara Baxley (All Fall Down), Cyd Charisse (The Harvey Girls and Till the Clouds Roll By), Hurd Hatfield (The Picture of Dorian Grey), Pat Hingle (All Fall Down), Olivia Hussey (Death on the Nile), Van Johnson (State of the Union and Remains to Be Seen), Glynis Johns (The Court Jester and Little Gloria... Happy at Last), Shirley Knight (The Dark at the Top of the Stairs), Janet Leigh (If Winter Comes, The Red Danube, and The Manchurian Candidate), Margaret O'Brien (Tenth Avenue Angel), Mildred Natwick (The Court Jester), and Phyllis Thaxter (Tenth Avenue Angel and The World of Henry Orient), among others, made guest appearances. Johnson and Knight made multiple appearances in different roles.
