i think i could have seen her in sweeney todd with my hebrew school (dont ask me why i guess sondheim was jewish) but i chose not to go. she still regrets not seeing me there! well, she did until recently.

Mom had the Sweeney Todd album, and I liked it, even though I didn’t have much interest in musical theater at the time. Lansbury was great; incredible range (acting not singing, though she was good at that too.) Hollywood didn’t really know what to do with her, and she got more love on stage. Didn’t have that singular star identity; she could play unsympathetic characters and warm ones, with multiple shadings on either side. Never did watch Murder She Wrote.

• i watched a few episodes in high school in its early years with 60 minutes as its lead in. though in its first season it was up against the second and final season of knight rider on nbc so probably was a real sophies choice. no conflict with macgyver that season. not a fan.

• In the mid-80s, Murder She Wrote, Dallas and Falconcrest were the regular shows my roommates and I tuned in to.  647 E. 11th. If we were home during the day we would also watch The People's Court.
