Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996)
Lansbury's screen persona has become almost synonymous with Jessica Fletcher, perhaps the most iconic character from her long career. After running for 12 seasons (https://www.looper.com/339729/the-best-episodes-of-murder-she-wrote/) on CBS, "Murder, She Wrote" has been streaming and playing in reruns ever since, guaranteeing Lansbury's place in viewers' homes for decades to come.
A retired school teacher turned mystery writer, Fletcher also moonlights as an amateur sleuth. Each week, she solves a murder committed in the seemingly quiet New England town Cabot Cove. In subsequent seasons, she takes her crime solving skills abroad, from London to the Big Apple (leading one to wonder why someone always ends up dead whenever Jessica Fletcher comes to town).
Although there was a steady stream of guest stars to look forward to, it was the kindly Lansbury who kept us tuning in week after week. Her performance earned Lansbury Emmy nominations for all 12 seasons of the show's run, although she (criminally!) never won. She did win four Golden Globes (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086765/awards/?ref_=tt_awd) for the series, so at least she got some recognition.
