Average customer review:Product Description
She was born Princess Marguerite Alexandrovna Valensky, but everyone called her Daisy. Daisy is the daughter of an American movie goddess, Francesca Vernon (Lindsay Wagner) and the playboy Russian Prince, Stash Valensky (Stacy Keach.)
Daisy was a blonde beauty living in a world of aristocrats and countless wealth. Men desired her. Women envied her. Daisy’s life was a fairytale filled with parties and balls, priceless jewels, money and love. Then suddenly the fairytale ended, and Princess Daisy had to start again, with nothing, except the secret she guarded from the day she was born.
Across an international landscape stretching from the horse-drawn carriages of pre-Revolutionary Russia to the magic whirl of New York’s Madison Avenue, Judith Krantz, who gave the world Scruples, has created a glittering dream of a story filled with secrets and discoveries, filled with glamour and pain, filled with sadness and joy. And the beating pulse of it all is Princess Daisy. The ultimate heroine.

Princess Daisy
I first saw Princess Daisy on WE. I didn't know what it was or what it was about, but i was immediately hooked on it. Merete van Kamp, who plays Daisy, is beautiful, graceful, and elegant, and Rupert everett, as Ram (Daisy's step brother who falls in love with her) is stunningly handsome. But not only are the actors beautiful, but the story is captivating. The acting isn't fabulous, the screenplay is at times cheesy, but all in all, it was very entertaining and i watched all three hours of this soap-opera-ish movie, and in the end decided that i thoroughly enjoyed it!
A guilty pleasure...
Princess Daisy is an enjoyable little mini series for a rainy afternoon. It's a movie good for using very little of your brain's resources but darn entertaining if your into lust, passion, betrayel, (and the occasional incestual rape sub-plot). All in all, a rather nicely done soap-drama. Not a bad way to spend a lazy afternoon at all.
And I'd just like to mention another mini series which was originally penned by Judith Krantz. "Mistral's Daughter" is an even better mini series than this! When will the DVD gods bestow that wonderful mini series on dvd????
Princess Daisy
An iconic Krantz novel with all the things that deal with the heart. Love, lust, anger, heartache and redemption.
