[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 440087, member: 19949"] International stars sometimes appear in French miniseries. David Soul was one of the male leads in “Sandra, Princesse Rebelle” (Englsh title: Sandra, the Rebel Princess") in 1995. Here is the plot for "Sandra, princesse rebelle": In the 1990s, Sandra Francœur—a midwife at a Paris maternity hospital who leads a quiet life with her husband, Pierre, and their son, Stéphane—discovers that she is the daughter of the royal couple, Michel and Natacha Arkadine, who were assassinated in 1968 during the overthrow of the Kroënian monarchy. Given her husband's lack of commitment, she decides to take her destiny as a princess into her own hands. To do so, she must first earn the trust of her people. She then requests state subsidies from the French government to address the problems facing her kingdom. She falls in love with Ivan, but her status as a princess sparks the basest jealousies: a certain Zoltan Kouros (played by David Soul) —an immensely wealthy banker originally from Kroënia—demands that she marry his brother, Simon; otherwise, she will never see her son again. The entire series is available on YouTube: [MEDIA=youtube]zTHbL4pzj0Q[/MEDIA] Tim Robbins also appeared in a French miniseries, most recently in 2026 in "Quelqu’un devrait interdire les dimanches après-midi" (English title: "Someone should ban Sunday afternoons").
