Wonderful series about a true icon!
Review by Mark I. review stating Wonderful series about a true icon!
Many Americans are unfamiliar with Noele Nolly Gordon and the iconic soap opera Crossroads. Despite its popularity, Crossroads was often mocked for its live-taped format, which allowed for mistakes to be included in the show. However, this authenticity was beloved by fans. Gordon, known as the true Queen of Soaps, was tragically sacked in 1981. This series delves into the story behind the firing of the most famous soap star and the final moments of her life. Helena Bonham Carters portrayal is both magnificent and raw. Its a compelling series that offers insight into a true TV icon, and I hope many will watch and learn about her legacy.
