Who would want to kill a French bulldog? It’s up to Higgins (Perdita Weeks) to solve the case in the March 12 episode of Magnum P.I.
Rita Rudner guest stars as Patty Talbot, the dog’s owner who is the one to suspect there’s more to his death than meets the eye. “It was fun,” Rudner tells TV Insider. “When I got the call, I couldn’t believe it because I just released my autobiography, which is called My Life in Dog Years, about how much I love dogs. And sure enough, I got a call to play a woman who loves dogs.”
When we first meet Patty, she’s holding a funeral for her beloved pet, as you can see in our exclusive sneak peek above. “Hank was my heart and soul, but even as we mourn this loss, I take comfort in knowing that his sense of humor, his zest for life, and his love for used socks and all things stinky will live on in our memories. Hank was an inspiration and a loyal friend and without him, life will be quieter and the sun won’t shine as brightly and the moon will not be so moon-y,” Patty says, as Higgins, in attendance, watches.“I’ve been through that,” Rudner says of her character holding a service for her dog. “I remember one of my dogs passed away and my daughter was about eight years old, and she looked at me and said, ‘Hey mom, are you ever going to stop crying?’ So she was very sympathetic.”
Her character is someone “who takes everything to the nth degree. She loves her dog more than anything in this world. And I think after going through a very, very bitter divorce, the dog becomes even more important to her,” the comedian continues, and we can see that in the clip. “Patty is somebody who feels things very deeply, she wears very big earrings, a lot of lipstick, eye makeup, and bright clothing. So I think that’s an indication of her personality.
