Description: Faerie Tale Theatre is an award-winning collection of live-action fairy tale adaptations; hostess Shelley Duvall introduces the stories before the scenes are set for elaborate stage production of classic fairy tales. The series, as a live-action adaptation, was notable for featuring a number of Hollywood actors and famous celebrities portraying the costumed characters, and also utilized filming by well-known directors. Actress Shelley Duvall, who conceived the series, served as an executive producer and host. Duvall also starred in three episodes, portraying various characters, and was a featured narrator of three episodes, as well as providing the voice of the animatronic Nightingale. Every episode begins with Duvall introducing herself and giving a brief synopsis of the night's fairy-tale episode that would follow. The series followed a style similar to an earlier fairy-tale anthology series, called Shirley Temple's Storybook, broadcast between 1958-1961, in which Shirley Temple serves as narrator, with this series also featuring numerous celebrities portraying the costumed characters. The series was one of the first examples of original cable programming, alongside HBO's Fraggle Rock.
