I've told my wife that if she invites Jessica Fletcher to another dinner party all divorce her.

And then people in Ireland started mysteriously dying.

I was dating someone with a 13 year old daughter. Some guy with a car was picking her up from school. I found where he lived, confronted the boy's father.

Sounds a bit extreme. It worked, obviously, but there must have been a simpler way.

Imagine Angela Landsbury going full "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" on the Manson Family

I can imagine her using her typewriter to smash a head.

IIRC she also rehabbed one of her sons by hiring him as her assistant and just keeping an eye on him for years on end.

Better someone apparently excellent at parenting than some deadbeat mom who'd have two dead kids.

I own a copy of the album they recorded. It's honestly not awful. Bit weird of course, but better than some I've heard from the era.
Affray
Everyone curls their nose up like it isn't equally as awful as most hippie rock from the time. I know old timers who listen to worse.

Isn't it wonderful she could take such drastic measures to ensure the safety of her family. Too bad everyone can't do that but I guess the rest is just not good enough to deserve saving
NOINITIATIVE
wasn't till I read "Mindhunter" that I found out he technically didn't murder anyone (that we know of.)

Yep, it's why his conviction was so complicated. He wasn't by the law guilty of any crimes of note. But he was very much guilty of every crime. He was very smart and way too good at manipulating people.
skincancerisfun
What was complicated about it. Someone rich got killed, they wanted to put him in prison, so they came up with some convoluted rational to explain it. Same as it ever was
Targe0
It was complicated because he was smart about not incriminating himself. To most killers, it's more simple to charge them will the killings. His case was closer to how you go after a Mob boss than a serial killer.
Fentex
I like the theory it was all about covering up for another crime.
Targe0
Well, the important thing is they did get him in the end.

She starred in a series called "Murder, she wrote."

Holy shit, good on her, and good on you with the proof.

Good that the daughter wasn't like "No he loves me and I want to stay."
Isthe4thtimethecharm
The daughter may not have had a lot to say about it. It was definitely a time when women didn't have many options for themselves. I mean, they couldn't even open a bank account in the US at that time.
AgainstMethod
Women absolutely opened bank accounts in the 60's. It was legal, up to a point, for banks to discriminate on the basis of gender until the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act. But a woman in the 60's who needed a checking account could just go open one.

That's not him, is it?
EdwinEastwood
No, it's probably one of her 2 sons

Tony Iommi.
whoisyourdaddy
NO. That's her son. The story is true though, and well documented. But that's a picture of Angela with her son and her daughter.

That their mother said Ireland was a rock covered in grass and nothing else.

They began a couple hundred years ago...
FrancsTireur
500 years ago.
Although you could assert that the foundations to the eventual situation were laid 700 years ago when Scotland under Robert the Bruce invaded Ireland and attempted to make his brother king. It was aimed as a strategic move against England and caused the first ever deployment of English forces to Ireland. They never left after that, the size of the presence has fluctuated but Scotland making Ireland a new theatre in the wars with England is what started it.

The troubles never really affected County Cork.

It was the abundance of English potatoes that was at issue. /s

No, she didn't, that movie never got made.

Wtf are you guys upvoting this for? That's not even a real movie.

Upvoting? I don’t see any of that, you’re looking at the wrong comment.
