what was Jessica Fletcher from “Murder, She Wrote” in her youth

No one will remember such an actress.

Angela Lansbury became famous all over the world after the release of the cult TV series Murder, She Wrote. At this time, the actress was already in adulthood, so few people know how she looked in her youth.

The future Jessica Fletcher began her career at the age of 18. Angela appeared in the psychological drama Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman. Lansbury got the role of the main character’s maid. The next work of the actress was the film adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, where Angela played Sybil Wayne. Both roles glorified the artist throughout America and brought her to the rank of the most promising actresses of the new generation.

That young Lansbury is barely recognizable as the legendary Jessica Fletcher. Angela had childish features: curly blond hair, plump cheeks, big eyes and lips with a bow. Lansbury did not like for a long time that the directors did not give her the main roles. The heroines of the actress only set off the key characters and played with her in contrast. Angela’s finest hour came when she took on the role of Jessica Fletcher. The series “Murder, She Wrote” thundered all over the world and made Lansbury a superstar.
