BREAKING: 'Murder She Wrote' actress Angela Lansbury dies at 96
Lansbury is best known for her role as mystery writer Jessica Fletcher in the popular TV series "Murder, She Wrote." Four years into the series, which started in 1984, Lansbury's Corymore Productions began to co-produce the series with Universal. Lansbury owned the series and became its executive producer during the show's last four seasons. The show ended its run in 1996 after 12 seasons on TV.
The two were married until he died in 2003, but it wasn't Lansbury's first marriage. In 1945, Lansbury married actor Richard Cromwell at age 19. The marriage ended months later and the actress filed for divorce on Sept. 11, 1946. "It was a terrible shock. I was devastated," she said of learning her ex-husband was gay. "But once I got over the shock, I said, 'All right then, I'm going to take charge of my life and see that I never hurt like this again.'"Following her hit TV series, Lansbury made many appearances in films, such as voicing Mrs. Potts in the 1991 animated film "Beauty and the Beast.
