Lili Lanvin

In Mademoiselle Mac Ginty est morte, the France Televisions adaptation of Mrs McGinty's Dead, Lili Lanvin is the parallel of Lily Gamboll from the original novel. There is a flashback scene in the episode showing Lili Lanvin watching her aunt as she chokes. There is no speaking part but Lili Lanvin is portrayed the actress who portrayed her, Juliane Francois, is listed in the end credits.

The backstory of Lili Lanvin is fairly similar to her parallel. An aunt took care of her after her parents died. On October 14, 1935, Lili, then aged nine, poisoned her aunt (the flashback scene shows this happening over a meal). Lili did not deny the action and was subsequently sent to a prison. The prison was bombed during the war and Lili subsequently disappeared. Like in the original, Huguette Mac Ginty had read a newspaper article featuring Lili and another case Eva Mauduis. The main premise of the plot revolves around which one of the two Huguette thought she recognised from among the residents in her apartment block.
