Angela Lansbury plays Miss Jane Marple in the 1980 adaptation. She investigates a death at a village fete after a drink meant for Hollywood star Marina Gregg appears to be the intended target.
Who is Marina Gregg, and why is she important?
Marina Gregg is the Hollywood actress played by Elizabeth Taylor, and her presence draws the suspicious crowd to St. Mary Mead. The victim, Heather Badcock, dies after drinking a poisoned cocktail at the fete.
Is The Mirror Crack'd based on an Agatha Christie book?
Yes. It adapts Christie's 1962 novel The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, shortening the title for the 1980 film. The plot keeps Miss Marple at the center of a murder mystery involving a celebrated actress.
Is this a classic police investigation or a Hollywood mystery?
