Candy Zarkin (Diagnosis Murder)

Candy Zarkin (Shari Shattuck) is the main villainess from "Comedy Is Murder," the penultimate episode of Diagnosis Murder's fourth season (airdate May 8, 1997).
Candy Zarkin is the wife of producer Phil Zarkin, but she was also having an affair with legendary comedian Harvey Huckaby, who was one half of a comedy duo with Tim Conrad, as well as being married to Susan Huckaby. Knowing that Harvey would not divorce Susan because it would cost him half of everything, Candy murdered Susan at their home, doing so by closing the pool cover on Susan while she was inside. Candy's motive was to eventually live off Harvey's vast fortune, as implied in her reveal.
As Mark Sloan revealed, Candy couldn't use the remote because it wasn't working, so she replaced the battery with one from her car alarm, while also pulling a fuse from the backup switch. Candy was arrested for killing Susan Huckaby.
