Beautiful, vivacious and fabulously wealthy, they were known as the Dollar Princesses. At the end of the 19th century, hundreds of eligible young women turned their backs on America and crossed the Atlantic, with a steely glint in their eyes. The only intention was to snare a member of the British aristocracy. It might all seem terribly crass but, in fact, these were matches made in heaven.

When you are treated like Royalty, might as well be one I guess.
The title misspelled DOWNTOWN.
I would rather have a dollar Princess than the Lady Gaga.
They should remove the last A and call her Lady gag.
And Yes I know the Lady is not a Lady nor a Brit.
Obviously you don’t watch Downton Abbey on PBS which has a rich American heiress married to a Brit aristocrat needing money.
PBS? Yeah, I missed it. LOL
Downton Abby is a great show !
It comes on Sunday night here and my wife would kill me if I said I had to watch something else. I kinda like the Countess of Grantham (played by Maggie Smith) she is a hoot with such zingers. The series just intoduced Shirley McLaine as the crazy American mother-in-law.
I can’t wait ! Shirley MacLaine will only make it better !
