RIP.

Big swans fan.

I never did get the premise of that show btw. Was it just that wherever she went there was a murder, and if so why was she never under suspicion, or was she supposed to be a character in someone’s novel, and we were seeing the he novel acted out? Not as good as Columbo anyway.

It was shit. My mother was obsessed with it. I hated it.

RIP and all that though.

Yeah, not for me either. Interesting to see that she was nominated for an Oscar for Gaslight though, kinda has some resonance to it in modern times.

It’s a very good film too. And yes it does. A form of gaslighting is now part of accepted public discourse.

American poor man's Agatha Christie. Jane Marple she wasn't.

RIP. 96 - good innings.

Pah! Colombo was terrible. In every episode he only had one suspect and it still took him an hour to solve it.

Was she found dead in a locked room with a poison dart in her neck?

RIP to a fine British actress, but she struck it lucky with MSW, brought her millions. Typical yank afternoon TV fodder like Hart to Hart, Charlie's Angels, the Love Boat, etc. TV for the brain dead.
