Ashes to Ashes premieres
On October 8, 1998, Ashes to Ashes first aired on ABC. Patrick McGoohan returned as Eric Prince, an undertaker whose former lover, gossip columnist Verity Chandler (Rue McClanahan), becomes rather more troublesome than he’s prepared to tolerate.
This was McGoohan’s fourth and final appearance as a Columbo murderer, and he also directed the episode. Jeffrey Hatcher wrote the script, while the supporting cast includes Sally Kellerman, Richard Riehle, and McGoohan’s daughter Catherine.
