They call her The Lady of the Camellias.


She is Marguerite Gautier, beautiful, brazen and a courtesan of Paris.


He is Armand Duval, handsome, prominent and hopelessly headstrong.


Their love is a sensation, a scandal - and to some - a sin.


Their story is as old as time. And timeless as love itself.
