Kassandra(1992)

Kassandra is a Venezuelan telenovela that follows a gypsy woman who marries into a wealthy family, unaware she is the grandson's granddaughter. On her wedding night, her husband is murdered—and she becomes the prime suspect. Written by Delia Fiallo and directed by Grazio D'Angelo and Olegario Barrera, the series ran for 150 episodes from October 1992 to May 1993. Though Venezuelan in origin, Kassandra found massive international success, becoming a phenomenon in Italy, Russia, Eastern Europe, the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and across Asia. The show's impact proved so enduring that Televisa remade it as Peregrina in 2005–2006. Kassandra also became the first Hispanic telenovela dubbed into Cebuano and Hiligaynon, reaching audiences across the Philippines.
