Jamie Lee Curtis tipped to play Angela Lansbury's Murder She Wrote role in new film... and fans are delighted
Jamie Lee Curtis is 'in talks' to take on Angela Lansbury's iconic Murder She Wrote role in a new feature film.
Lansbury became a legend in Hollywood and on Broadway during a career that spanned an impressive eight decades and saw her taking on roles alongside some of the industry's best-known stars when she was just a teen - with the actress landing her first major movie job just four years after she fled wartime London at the age of 14. Having moved to New York with her actress mother after leaving their home in the UK, Lansbury dedicated herself to her love of drama, and she burst onto the film scene in spectacular fashion at the age of 17, when she landed her first role in the 1944 thriller Gaslight, which saw her holding her own on the big screen alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. The job would ultimately earn her a contract with MGM, as well as the first of three Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress - the second of which came one year later for her role in The Portrait of Dorian Gray - and it marked the beginning of an illustrious career on the stage and screen, during which she would star alongside a number of industry icons, including Gene Kelly and Katharine Hepburn.
