‘Murder, She Wrote’ Stars Share Secrets From the Set, Remember Star Angela Lansbury

Murder, She Wrote's stars and showrunner are sharing secrets from the set exclusively with Closer, including memories of working with lead Angela Lansbury.

For 12 seasons beginning in 1984, Angela Lansbury played Jessica Fletcher, a small-town retired English teacher and bestselling writer who solved murder mysteries on the side. In the seventh season, with the show attracting some 25 million viewers a week and Angela’s contract up for renewal, she asked to be made co-executive producer. For Michael Horton, who recurred as Jessica’s nephew Grady, and Debbie Zip, his real-life wife who played his spouse Donna, Murder, She Wrote was a family affair.
