I used to watch MSW, and I just loved that quaint little fishing town where she filmed.
I always wanted to visit there.

I knew her mainly from her TV work, until I got TCM and saw how many old movies she was in. She was so good as the sly maid in "Gaslight" and her role in "The Picture of Dorian Gray," is one of my very favorite movie moments.

This is where Dorian (who has sold his soul to the devil) sees her and is attracted to her purity and innocence:

Oh my goodness! When my late wife was alive we used to buy "Murder She Wrote" and watch that series. My wife was a big fan of her's. Not only did she have nice legs but she sure had talent when it came to acting. Sorry to hear the sad news.

I loved all her shows! When I was a teen, she was the height of glamour! She aged just about as beautifully and successfully as any woman possibly could.Embracing each stage as it came along.
