Currently rewatching Murder, She Wrote every night before bed and the cameos/guest stars are too good not to share. A thread is in order. On tonight’s ep (S2E3): LUCILLE BLUTH! Jessica Walter plays a bitchy soap opera show runner and she is as fierce in 1986 as she ever was
*Angela Lansbury voice* Previously on Murder, She Wrote: Dean Jones (star of many 1960s Disney classics like The Love Bug, Blackbeard and That Darn Cat), in an EXCELLENT episode featuring a great dog who inherits a fortune and gets framed for murder (S1E6)
I howled when I spotted this one: a young JOAQUIN PHOENIX! Credited in the episode as Leaf Phoenix, the name he apparently picked for himself as a child actor, which just adds to the fun. Acting alongside his actual sister, Summer Phoenix (S1E9)
And finally (at least in terms of those I’ve recognised so far), Caitlyn Jenner (S1E18)
More as I spot them, I still have 11 seasons to go!
Tonight’s episode (S2E5) didn’t feature a guest star...but do 2 Angela Lansburys count? In this “London-set” ep, Jessica comes the aid of her British vaudeville singer cousin Emma. A delight of an episode (clearly shot in a Californian backlot, unconvincingly doubling for London)
Laugh all you want at my #MurderSheWroteRewatch but who’s been spending 30 quid for the past few years in Urban Outfitters to buy shitty Casio watches as worn here by Sheriff Amos Tupper? Not me!
