"Our REELZ royal watchers will enjoy three straight nights of royal family shows especially the riveting story of Princess Diana's interview with journalist Martin Bashir and the shocking details surrounding their meeting as revealed in The Diana Interview: Revenge of a Princess."

In Marilyn, Misunderstood Kim Cattrall narrates a poignant look at a different side of Monroe's dizzying ride to stardom spotlighting the career masterstrokes she executed battling abuse in Hollywood and flexing her show business savvy through image control, reinvention and shattering stereotypes. Another star of the silver screen who dealt with fame on her own terms was Grace Kelly. Making its REELZ premiere is Grace Kelly: American Princess about her life after leaving Hollywood as told through hundreds of rare personal home movies and family photos taken by Grace Kelly and her husband Prince Rainier of Monaco. New original special Golden Girls: Ageless narrated by Valerie Bertinelli celebrates the sitcom that made its own rules telling the story of four women over 50 sharing a raucous, loving and hilarious bond and the show's remarkable pop culture power that soars decades after the show ended.

In the blockbuster movie The Hunt for Red October Sean Connery plays a Soviet submarine captain gone rogue while in command of a nuclear arsenal but the real story behind the movie is far more spectacular and full of unbelievable twists. In new original documentary The Real Hunt for Red October see the astonishing revelations linking the hit movie to a real nuclear submarine confrontation and a CIA mission involving eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes so grand in scale and execution some say it rivaled the moon landing and helped change the course of world history.

Hosted by Victor Garber who starred as Thomas Andrews in the mega blockbuster Titanic each episode explores the real lives linked to precious artifacts recovered from the ship that connect to people alive today and tell of new stories of mystery, love, deception, fate and heroics aboard the Titanic.

Wrapping up March premieres are two new original documentaries examining the diabolical stories of serial killer Gary Ridgway and pernicious pastor Warren Jeffs. The two-part The Green River Killer examines the terrifying case that spanned 20 years, involved 50 investigators, cost millions of dollars and had more than 10,000 pieces of evidence as told by the key investigators who finally brough Ridgway to justice.

Warren Jeffs: Cult of Personality Premieres Friday, March 5 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. At the border of Utah and Arizona a remote theocratic community has been thriving for decades. They live in full obedience to a spiritual leader whom they believe is ordained by God. His name is Warren Jeffs and he is the president and prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints. On a quiet summer night Flora Jessop is on a dangerous mission: to rescue two teenage girls who are trying to flee the church that she escaped years before. Having its stronghold in the twin towns of Hildale Utah and Colorado City Arizona the Fundamentalists are a splinter group from the Mormon Church who strive to preserve the polygamist practices long abandoned by the original movement. Its members live under strict religious rules dictated by polygamist prophet Jeffs who is a manipulative and tyrannical leader ruling over every aspect of members' lives including their properties, their work and who they can marry which includes teenage and child brides that he even takes for himself. Disobeying the will of Jeffs was akin to disobeying a direct commandment of God and punishment was harsh. Jeffs was eventually arrested in 2006 and sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years for the sexual abuse of minors. What kind of person can gain and hold this absolute power over thousands of people? This is the story of Jeffs told by cult experts, researchers, award-winning journalists along with former church members Jessop and Brielle Decker who recalls her experience as the 65th wife to Jeffs. Cult of Personality is produced by KM+BM Media.

The Real Hunt for Red October Premieres Saturday, March 6 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. The 1990 American smash hit movie The Hunt for Red October starring Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin and Sam Neill tells the story of a rogue Soviet nuclear submarine attempting to defect to the U.S. while being hunted by both the American and Soviet Navies. Based on the novel by Tom Clancy it reveals the technology, drama and character of an underwater Cold War battle but what few realize is Clancy's book and the movie were inspired by a classified nuclear submarine confrontation that some believe changed the course of world history. Now the extraordinary events are revealed in The Real Hunt for Red October including the mysterious whereabouts of a sunken Soviet nuclear submarine and its connection to a CIA operation involving eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes so grand in its scale and execution that some say it rivaled the moon landing. The documentary also explores the curious story of Clancy who may not have simply been a Maryland insurance salesman with a knack for dreaming up military thrillers. Instead there is convincing evidence that he was a CIA and Navy Intelligence asset who was carefully fed classified materials that portrayed the U.S. Navy as so advanced it provoked the Soviets into a military spending spree that eventually bankrupted them. It was this economic collapse that helped end the Cold War. Sharing their experiences with the movie and its extraordinary source material are Sam Neill, Tom Clancy III, former U.S. Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, former U.S. Navy Special Projects Office Chief Scientist Dr. John Craven, former Soviet Navy Admiral V.N. Ponikarovsky and nuclear submarine engineer and author Kenneth Sewell. The Real Hunt for Red October is produced by Muse Entertainment Enterprises.

Golden Girls: Ageless Narrated by Valerie Bertinelli Premieres Saturday, March 13 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. Throughout seven years of cheesecake, risqué quips and massive laughs The Golden Girls was TV's unlikeliest smash hit. Pairing three seasoned acting pros and one small-screen newbie with impeccable writing resulted in a sitcom that took the TV world by storm in the late '80s shattering senior citizen stereotypes and providing hilarious inspiration and empowerment to generations of viewers.

But Marilyn, Misunderstood narrated by Kim Cattrall tells the story of the other Marilyn, a woman who didn't just suddenly wake up and become the biggest star in the world. The other Marilyn was a bold and ambitious trailblazer who refused to toe the line and who never stopped fighting to be taken seriously as an actress. The documentary presents this little known side of her life story as told through Monroe's own words in rare audio recordings as she discusses everything from the deftly managing the controversy that swirled around her supposedly private nude photo shoot to her paralyzing stage fright that almost derailed her career and her blistering exposé "Wolves I Have Known" about harassment and disrespect she endured from Hollywood industry executives throughout her career. Sharing their first-hand accounts of this other Monroe are some of her personal friends and colleagues including former agents, co-stars and photographers. In their words though she may have been victimized at times she was not the tragic victim history has made her out to be.
