Alexandra Isles

In the late 1970s, she was the mistress of Claus von Bülow, and claimed to be a motive for two alleged attempts by him to murder his wife. As depicted in Die Affäre der Sunny von B. (1990) (wherein she was portrayed by Julie Hagerty), Claus was eventually acquitted of the charges, though the truth remains unclear.

[on being asked to return to "Dark Shadows" after taking maternity leave] I said I might consider it if Victoria could change her character, if she could get possessed or be bad, because there just wasn't anything to act really. It wasn't a lot of fun. I thought everyone else was having a great time being whatever strange character. Victoria was always the same.... I can understand now that Victoria had to stay the goody-goody because the viewer had to identify with her. She was the outsider like the viewer was. She didn't know what was going on. I think it probably served a purpose in the plot line to have somebody like that.
