Tributes have flooded in following the death of legendary actress Angela Lansbury. The TV, film and theatre star's death was announced by her family just days before her 97th birthday. And the TV and stage favourite, who played Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote, has a little-known connection to Wales.
Born in London, Angela was best known for her portrayal of the mystery writer and amateur detective Fletcher, in the hit American crime drama series which ran for 12 seasons from 1984-1996. However, Angela's link to Wales is far lesser known. The actress was the granddaughter of George Lansbury, the leader of the Labour Party from 1932 to 1935, who the famous Lansbury Park housing estate in Caerphilly town was named after.
