![]() McEwan is the sixth actress to take on the much-loved character on screen, following in the footsteps of Gracie Fields, Margaret Rutherford, Angela Lansbury, Helen Hayes and Joan Hickson. She is retiring with immediate effect but ITV1 still has two of her films to screen, Towards Zero and Nemesis. McEwan first appeared in Agatha Christie's Marple in The Body In The Library in 2004. ![]() "It's been an absolute pleasure to work on Miss Marple since 2003, and I leave with fond memories." McEwan said: "Of course, it is terribly disappointing to have to pass the baton on, but it has been a marvellous experience to inhabit this role for the last few years, and I am sure that my successor, whomever she may be, will thoroughly enjoy her time with the production team - and with the extraordinarily talented group of writers and actors that they come up with for each series. ITV and Marple rights owner Chorion will begin the process of finding a new Miss Marple next week.Ĭandidates for McEwan's replacement are thought to include Victoria Wood, Julie Walters, Prunella Scales, Anna Massey and Eileen Atkins. ![]()
