Obviously derived from the old radio soap, Portia Faces Life, which was on in the 1940s and 1950s on American radio. There was an Australian version in that same period that (I believe) stayed on the air into the 1970s.

Oh thanks. It did look as though it was based on something, but I had no idea it was so specific.

THE HOODOO OF BAMBOO, set in Savannah, Georgia, all about Dominique's Cajun aunt who moves from New Orleans and then adopts her niece's stage name (she's a bit of a social climber) and performs spells on the hapless locals. All from her kitchen.

COMING UP ROSES, about Rose, the only-slightly-less-fabulous twin sister of Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering who, along with Tom Carrington and Jacqueline Perrault, concocts a barbaric postwar scheme to harvest the ashes of six million jews from the crematoriums of Auschwitz and Dachau in order to fertilize her garden, with the pretense of selling these flowers of death for the purposes of atonement in order to raise funds for a foundation intent on compensating the victims' surviving families... But with the windfall profits achieved, Rose Goering (who eventually marries into the American political Bush dynasty) just funnels the amassing fortune into a labyrinth of shadowy European organizations intent on establishing the Fourth Reich once again -- when and if that crystal skull buried somewhere under Denver is found and returned to Eva Braun.

Those bitches. The bitches.

Beyond Our Dreams in the film DELIRIOUS (1991) starring Emma Samms as the rich bitch.
The story takes place in the fictional town Ashford Falls which I think would have been a better title but I guess BOD is more recognizable as the title of a romantic soap opera.

Some of my colleagues on here might remember the very risque version of Dallas that we had on one of our threads. It was called Phallus! :)

MINK MONARCHY - about the Russian Monarch family who owns the largest fur company in the world. It could be a spin-off from HOUSE OF DE VILBIS, Spelling's Austrian DYNASTY who owns the largest pharmaceutical company in Europe.
All the characters are beautiful and rotten to the core.
