Amelia Browne (Murder, She Wrote)

Amelia Browne (Lois Nettleton; 1927-2008) is the main villainess from "Lovers and Other Killers," episode 1.06 of Murder, She Wrote (airdate November 18, 1984). She is the secretary for Edmund Gerard, the dean of a college in Seattle.
As indicated by Jessica Fletcher, Amelia was in love with Edmund, who was unaware of his secretary's affections. Amelia's crush developed into an obsession, as she had been following Edmund and was furious to discover that he was engaged in an affair with married Lila Schroder. In a jealous rage, Amelia confronted Lila and later murdered her, and it was Jessica who found Lila collapsing on the ground.
Knowing Jessica was on the case, Amelia set up Jessica to appear at the college at night, doing so via a phone call. After Jessica arrived, Amelia attempted to kill Jessica by pushing her down the stairs, donning an all black disguise. She planned to frame David Tolliver, another of Lila's lovers, for the attempt, but Jessica survives and figures out Amelia's role, leading to a confrontation. 
Amelia confessed to murdering Lila, after letting slip that she drives a blue car--which was parked at Lila's home. She stated that Lila caught her following Edmund, and she killed her to keep Lila from telling Edmund, who later heard Amelia's confession. When Edmund asked why, Amelia simply replied that she loved him, and afterwards, Amelia was arrested (off-screen) for killing Lila and attempting to kill Jessica.
