Our Take On The Prospective Murder, She Wrote Casting
Curtis Is Beloved Enough For The Remake To Work
Lansbury’s version ofMurder, She Wrote’s Jessica Fletcher has become so beloved over the course of the last few decades, making it hard to top. Of the actors who have the ability to take on this role, however,Curtis is one of the best suited for the task. Not only does she have relatively recent visibility in the whodunnit genre through herKnives Outrole, but she has also reached iconic status over the years. I think the best actor to replace a venerated actor is one held up on a similar pedestal, andCurtisis arguably so.
