DESCRIPTION:
(from Lifetime's press release, July 2024) Known for her work during the late 1990's and early 2000's with the Psychic Readers Network, professional telephone and television psychic Youree Harris was launched into the pop culture zeitgeist when the network's infomercials took off, making her a cult icon as the TV persona Miss Cleo. Fondly remembered for donning a colorful turban in a candlelit room, Miss Cleo dutifully listened to callers detailing the most intimate details of their lives. Miss Cleo ultimately became the face of the Psychic Readers Network, earning the trust and loyalty for those that called her. Years later, Harris' world was turned upside down with complaints that the Psychic Readers Network was fraudulent and spread false advertising. Facing angry fans, Harris was forced to defend her reputation to clear her name and escape financial devastation. For the first time ever, Miss Cleo's side of the story will finally be told. Stars Robin "The Lady of Rage" Allen, Shane Johnson, Ian Bohen, Daphne Maxwell Reid, Cocoa Brown and Towanda Braxton (2024). |
