Plot Synopsis

Hosted and executive produced by entertainment reporter Nancy O'Dell, each one-hour episode of NANCY O'DELL REMEMBERS presents her intimate first-hand accounts of the monumental stories of one celebrity who left the world too soon, including the passing of Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams and Joan Rivers. The series opener focuses on Princess Diana, who was the fairytale princess and perhaps the most beloved woman not only in England but in the world. Princess Diana was the People's Princess and the world was her stage. Then tragedy struck on August 31, 1997 as news broke that Princess Diana was killed in a horrific car crash that also took the life of her lover, Dodi Fayed, the heir to Harrods and son of a billionaire, as they tried to elude the paparazzi. O'Dell shares her memories of what it was like to board a plane within 24 hours of the accident to cover what she calls to this day the "biggest story" of her career. She recounts the crowds that descended upon London, the outcry when the Monarchy didn't rush back from their summer holiday for five days, and the image of Diana's two young sons walking behind their mother's casket as crowds threw flowers at the funeral procession.
