📽️ In Forgotten Lady (Columbo, 1975), fading film star Grace Wheeler-Willis, played by Janet Leigh of Psycho fame, is desperate for a return to the limelight. Her path is blocked by her husband, Dr Henry Willis (Sam Jaffe), who won’t put up the money for a new stage musical - until she removes the obstacle by murdering him and making it look like a suicide.
