The Bronte Sisters DVD

A&E BIOGRAPHY®

How could a trio of bored country sisters create some of the most dramatic and timeless literature of the 19th century? Who were they and how did such genius arise in the isolation of the English countryside?

This illuminating DVD tells the fascinating story of Emily, Charlotte, and Anne Bronte: three sisters from a tragic family who, between them, wrote some of literature's most enduring classics.

Discover the unlikely environment that allowed their precocious talents to flourish. Anguish as the sisters' lives prove as tragic and tempestuous as those of the ill-fated characters in their novels.

Queen Noor: Between Two Realms DVD

A&E BIOGRAPHY®

She is the Grace Kelly of the Woodstock generation; an American-born beauty who won the heart of a King. Her intelligence, grace and commitment won the love of her adopted people and respect worldwide.

Born Lisa Halaby, Queen Noor of Jordan became an international figure with her marriage to King Hussein on June 15, 1978. In just four years, she had gone from being a cheerleader at Princeton to Queen of an Islamic, Middle-Eastern country.

As BIOGRAPHY® chronicles, she found that actually becoming a queen was much more difficult than being named one. But as Middle-Eastern scholars, reporters and friends reveal, she made the transformation successfully. In fact, by the time of the Gulf War, she was an articulate voice for Jordanian policy. In far-ranging, candid interviews, the Queen talks about her integration into Jordanian society, the causes she embraced and the barriers she had to overcome, and the fairytale romance that ended with the death of her husband early in 1999.

Follow the extraordinary journey of the American-born woman who became a true queen in every sense of the word.  Queen Noor: Between Two Realms DVD, Click here.
