In Venice in the late 1500s, courtesans were afforded a very special status among women: As mistresses to Venice's most important and wealthy men, they lived a regal lifestyle, and were even encouraged to read and study at a time when such education was forbidden for most woman. Catherine McCormick stars as Veronica Franco, a courtesan and poet, who became something of a superstar in her time. Also starring Rufus Sewell as the one man she truly loved; Jacqueline Bisset as her mother, a former courtesan; Moira Kelly; Oliver Platt; Jeroen Krabbe; and Joanna Cassidy.
