What a kooky rich lady!
14 January 2023
Brenda Vaccaro plays one of the most memorable and kooky characters you'll ever see on "Murder, She Wrote". Sheila Kowalski Finley is very rich and is married to a very rich man as well...but her behaviors are anything but high class. She is a kleptomaniac and is having an affair with her limo driver...and her husband either doesn't care or is REALLY in denial. Well, when the man she's sleeping with is murdered, Sheila is accused of committing the crime. Oddly, she takes an immediate liking to Jessica and counts on her to help...though Jessica is torn as she'd witnessed Sheila stealing a valuable necklace! What's next? See the show.

It must have been fun for Vaccaro to play such a nutty and likable lady. For this reason alone I really enjoyed the show and think it's worth seeing....and a rare case where a guest star really outshines Angela Lansbury!
