Murder, She Wrote (1984)

"Murder, She Wrote" is the long-running mystery series that followed novelist and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher as she stumbled into homicide cases wherever she went, blending cozy small-town charm with a steady stream of whodunit plotting. Beneath the wholesome mystery-of-the-week format, the show also passed through the hands of guest stars who brought a different kind of heat to the screen. Nancy Valen appears in the archive here, with 2 scenes on site capturing her in unexpectedly sultry territory for a series better known for suspects and alibis than skin. Fans digging through the show's episodic guest list will find her clips a rare bit of exposure tucked inside the whodunit format.
