Angela Lansbury’s final screen appearance has her beating the world’s greatest detective—if I recall correctly—by throwing him out an airlock in the game.

Blanc calls her “Angie” but her handle is “MSheSolved.”

She also beat a bunch of celebs who wrote murder mysteries. Because she doesn’t write them. She solves them. What an icon.

I am so happy for her.
