Princesses

Princesses is an American television sitcom that aired on CBS from September 27 to October 25, 1991. The series was produced by Universal Television and lasted five episodes. The series theme song, "Someday My Prince Will Come" (from Disney's animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), was performed by The Roches. Synopsis The series chronicles the lives of three female roommates in New York City, each with a different background and upbringing, thus the series' title: Tracy Dillon (Julie Hagerty), a ditzy English teacher who dumps her fiancé after learning about his previous two marriages; Tracy's longtime best friend Melissa Kirshner (Fran Drescher), an outspoken Jewish-American who sells cosmetics at a department store; and Georgina "Georgy" de La Rue (Twiggy), a naive, recently widowed English princess (and whose previous occupation was that of a showgirl) who arrives in the U.S. to challenge her late husband's contested will. The idea of the three being roommates in the same apartment happened accidentally because the apartment's owner Tony promised Tracy and Georgy the use of the rent-free building without telling either one who would use it or to whom he had loaned it.
