Actress Angela Lansbury, famous for her role in the Murder She Wrote TV show, said that some women have been so frustrated with men’s sex obsession that they turn to women instead and become lesbians.

The American TV show, Murder She Wrote, was a hit from 1984 to 1996 landing Lansbury with many awards for her role, including Member of British Empire (CBE).

The 87 year-old actress who played the role of crime-solving writer Jessica Fletcher, was quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: ‘Women are now suffering for the lack of enough men to go around.

‘Many women have given up. In many cases I think women prefer to have a relationship with a woman.

‘Anyway, there are many inherent differences between the sexes. It can be an area that is insurmountable and women put up with a hell of a lot. Not necessarily philandering, I mean generally.

‘Men are going to get up to some nonsense sometimes and we don’t want to know about it. Well we do ultimately!’

According to Lansbury, men who are devoted to marriage are becoming rare breed, instead, contemporary men, who are obsessed with sex are at the root of the ‘problem’.

She said: ‘Unfortunately, what goes on in bed has come to be considered all-important, but that really isn’t the most important thing in a relationship, ultimately.

‘It’s not the thing that’s going to support a marriage necessarily through 40 or 50 years.

Lansbury who was married to British actor and businessman Peter Shaw for 54 until his death in 2003, said that women are now unlikely to meet such good men.

‘I think a good man is someone who pays attention to a marriage and is prepared to work at it’, she said.
