Jessica Fletcher was the leading lady of a famous and long-running series known as Murder, She Wrote. While all Mrs. Fletcher seemed to want to do was get back to writing her novels, she kept getting pulled into these terribly inconvenient murder mysteries. Thankfully for us, Jessica Fletcher could never resist a good mystery, and thus always felt compelled to solve the murders constantly happening around her. And while she may have been a brilliant woman, there is a whole lot more to know about her. In fact, there are plenty of facts many fans likely don’t know about her character.

10 Accolades

Jessica Fletcher’s character has received many accolades over the years – even considering how long the series has been officially concluded. She’s considered to be one of the ‘100 Most Memorable Female TV Characters’ according to AOL. She was also named as one of the ‘100 Great TV Characters, and in another source, she’s cited as one of ‘TV’s Smartest Detectives.The Sleuth Channel ran a poll on ‘America’s Top Sleuths’ and found that she was ranked six according to all fans out there. And finally, Guinness World Records even gave her a spot of fame, this time for ‘most prolific amateur sleuth.’ All of these labels perfectly fit out beloved character, do they not?

9 The Titles of the Episodes Have A Meaning

Jessica Fletcher wrote a whopping twenty-five murder mystery novels during her time in Murder, She Wrote. And the series managed to weave in dozens of references to her writing, from the titles of episodes to her constant desire to get back to writing.

8 Maiden Name

This is a lovely hat tip to the actress that brought Jessica Fletcher to life, in more ways than one. It also allowed the actress to further root her character into her life, making her feel more real to the many fans watching.

7 Another Appearance

The series was none other than Magnum, P.I. This crossover confirmed that the two series are set in the same world. The crossover itself lasted for two episodes (the second episode occurring within Murder, She Wrote), while Jessica helped to solve another infamous mystery.

6 Her Home

The entire exterior of the inn was used as a basis for Jessica’s home, though it sounds like interior shots were filmed in a studio. Still, that’s quite something to brag about, don’t you think? Another cute bit of information for the fans: whenever they were filming shots around the inn, they would use locals to fill in as their extras.

5 Doesn’t Drive

4 Nieces and Nephews Everywhere

To our knowledge, Jessica Fletcher has an amazing seven nieces and three nephews. She’s also got six cousins, and several more extended family members who are always happy to see her – even if the mysteries do have a tendency to follow her around.

3 Her Career (Before She Became A Novelist)

Given how many crimes she has solved while in her retirement (well, retirement is a relative term in this case – the woman can’t sit still, can she?) it’s a wonder she was ever allowed to leave her job in the first place.

2 A Missed Opportunity

As it turns out, Stapleton refused the role. We imagine now, she’s well aware of the missed opportunity here. But we’re also grateful for it, because Angela Landsbury is Jessica Fletcher in every way possible.

1 A Demand

In her exact words; “I stipulated that there should be no scenes of gratuitous violence, with blood and gore and car smashes.” Given how much of a hit the series ended up being, we’re grateful that she had so much input for the show itself.
