Angela Lansbury of Murder, She Wrote fame, died on Tuesday. She was 96. RIP

Just wanted to add a couple tidbits to show how awesome Lansbury was.

She kept getting many of her actor friends recurring roles on Murder, She Wrote, specifically so they could keep their SAG benefits, primarily health care.

Also, she did her song from Beauty and the Beast in 1 take.

Very cool lady. RIP.
