Plot summary

[edit]

Anna, a Jewish girl, arrives in America from Poland in 1909. She rises from penniless maid to wealthy matriarch, torn by her love for two men, her husband and an aristocrat. The six-hour romantic saga spans three generations over more than 50 years.[1][2]

Cast

[edit]

Reception

[edit]

The Los Angeles Times review complained that the story was "simple, straightforward and entirely predictable. So few twists and turns does Jerome Kass' script take that the family's one dark secret remains just that, with only the audience the wiser. There is no dramatic payoff."[1]

Awards and nominations

[edit]

Primetime Emmy Award
