| Cleopatra: Destiny's Queen, History Channel |
| Cleopatra was the most powerful woman of the ancient world. Already a temptress at age twelve, she offered herself as a gift to Julius Caesar, then used his influence to capture the Egyptian throne form her brother. Later, when the powerful Marc Antony summoned her to Tarsus, she arrived on a river barge dressed up as the goddess Venus. This fascinating portrait of the Queen of the Nile traces her short life, from her noble birth to her legendary suicide. Ancient records combined with modern re-enactments and computer-generated graphics bring her remarkable story to life. |

| Real West: Wild, Wild Women, The, History Channel |
| Belle Star was a robber and a horse thief. Annie Oakley could shoot a cigarette out of your mouth at fifty paces. Calamity Jane was as tough as beef jerky on a three-day ride. The wild women of the Old West weren't prissy little frontier fillies. They staked their claim to Western legend with a style all their own. Problem is, history leans to the male gunslingers and Indian fighters. In WILD WOMEN, America's folklore heroines get their just rewards. |
