Agatha Christie wrote eighty crime novels, short story collections, nineteen plays, two autobiographies, and six other novels written under a pseudonym, "Mary Westmacott." She initially tried to write detective stories while working at a medical clinic during World War I, creating the legendary character "Detective Hercule Poirot" in her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles*. In the novel Murder in the Mummy's Tomb**, published in 1930, she introduced a beloved detective, Miss Jane Marple. Among the characters in the series are the husband and wife crime-fighting team, Tom and Tuppence Beresford, private investigator Parker Pyne, and Scotland Yard detectives: Inspector Japp and Sergeant Battle. Many of Christie’s novels and short stories have been adapted into plays, movies, and TV series. One of her most famous plays is The Mousetrap, which first premiered in 1952 and has run the longest in theatrical history. Among the most famous films based on her novels are Murder on the Orient Express*** (1974) and Death on the Nile**** (1978), where the roles of Hercule Poirot were played by Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov, respectively. On television, actor David Suchet played Poirot in an unforgettable way, and actress Joan Hickson portrayed Miss Marple, followed by Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie in this role. Christie was first married to Archibald Christie, then married archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan, whom she accompanied on his explorations to countries she used as settings in many of her novels. In 1971, Christie received one of the highest British honors when she was made a Dame of the British Empire. She died in 1976 at the age of eighty-five. Her 120th birthday was celebrated worldwide in 2010.
