Lansbury relieved ‘Murder’ got the ax

LONDON

Angela Lansbury says she’s relieved that a planned remake of her classic whodunit series “Murder, She Wrote” has been canceled.

Lansbury had been critical of NBC’s idea of a reboot starring Octavia Spencer.

The entertainment website Deadline.com reported this week that NBC was not going ahead with the show.

Lansbury said Thursday she thought the remake was a bad idea from the start.

She said she had “too much admiration” for Spencer “to saddle her with the awful responsibility” of having to rework the much-loved show.
