Last year, Lansbury had an extended cameo in Mary Poppins Returns. She was the villain of John Frankenheimer’s The Manchurian Candidate in 1962, the kindhearted witch in Bedknobs & Broomsticks in 1971, and the singing teapot in Beauty & The Beast in 1991. She made her film debut in 1944, starring that year in both George Cukor’s Gaslight and Clarence Brown’s National Velvet. Lansbury, now 93, has had a career of amazing scope and longevity. Yesterday, the CBC Radio host Tom Power interviewed Lansbury on Canadian national radio. Angela Lansbury had not heard it before yesterday. People still sample “Murder She Wrote” all the time, and if it comes on at a party, it’s an instant singalong. It is an absolute unimpeachable classic of the genre, an iconic jam. The Jamaican dancehall duo Chaka Demus and Pliers originally released their single “Murder She Wrote” in 1992. Angela Lansbury is a living legend of stage and screen, and she needs to have better people working for her. Tale as old as time: You star in a long-running detective show that helps inspire one of the greatest dancehall singles of all time, and yet nobody thinks to play you that song until 27 years later.
