Joan Kemp (Murder, She Wrote)

Joan Kemp (Kim Darby) is the main villainess from "Film Flam," episode 11.16 of Murder, She Wrote (airdate February 19, 1995). 
Joan Kemp is a former child actress who, as later revealed, harbored a crush on filmmaker Austin Young back when he was creating the film, Cry of Destiny, in 1960. She routinely brought him his wine during lunch time, but one day, Joan--angry over her affections not being reciprocated--laced Austin's wine with sleeping pills. Austin died of the effects just 10 minutes later, but Joan was photographed leaving the murder scene.
35 years passed, and Joan was shown attending the release of the restored Cry of Destiny. However, she was later encountered by filmmaker Fritz Randall, who blackmailed her with the incriminating photo from Austin Young's murder. During the screening of the film, Joan took an empty seat next to Fritz and laced his wine with sleeping pills (the same way she killed Austin Young). Fritz left complaining that he wasn't feeling well, and he died of the effects in his home.
Joan's villainous deeds came out in the open when Jessica Fletcher and Boyce Brown caught her attempting to pay Darryl Harding $20,000 for the incriminating photo. After an empty pill bottle was found in Joan's trash, the villainess confessed to both murders, while professing her love for Austin Young. Joan was later taken away and arrested for both murders.
