Nominated three times for the Oscars, the naturalized American actress was one of the glories of the golden age of Hollywood cinema.

But it is his interpretation of Jessica Fletcher, author of detective novels and outstanding investigator, in "Arabesque", which marked several generations.
The American series, broadcast over 264 episodes, lasted from 1984 to 1996, and experienced multiple reruns, particularly in France.
