We end #NOvember, where we watch movies with originally said “no” to, with QUENNIE, a 1987 TV Miniseries made by New World Television and, later, released by New World Video. An adaptation of a novel by Michael Korda which told the story of his real-life aunt, the actress Merle Oberon. Now, Korda’s aunt may be real, but the story is, well, let’s just say Michael had fun filling in the details. What true and what’s not, we may never know, but we do our best to sort it out.

The series starred Mia Sara, fresh from New World’s APPRENTICE TO MURDER, as Queenie, and Kirk Douglas as a movie producer based on Korda’s uncle Alexander.  In a story that starts in India, travels to England and back again, Queenie  goes from a young student to a exotic dancer to actress. She could have had more jobs, but, as it turns out, it’s hard for pretty people to get jobs. It’s also difficult for some people to smoke cigars or play a woodwind instrument, but easy for some to know the timing of their demise. There’s a lot going on, but we dig deep into it anyway, because, well, it’s #NOvember!
