Mistral's Daughter is a 1984 American television miniseries, adapted from Judith Krantz's 1982 best-selling novel of the same name.

Judith Krantz was an American magazine writer, fashion editor, and novelist. Her first novel Scruples (1978) was a New York Times best-seller and was translated into 50 languages. Scruples, which describes the glamorous and affluent world of high fashion in Beverly Hills, California, helped define a new sub-genre of the romance novel - the bonkbuster or "sex-and-shopping" novel. She also became one of the first celebrity authors through her extensive touring and promotion. Her later books included Princess Daisy (1980), Mistral's Daughter (1982)Till We Meet Again (1988), Dazzle (1990) and Spring Collection (1996). Her autobiography, Sex and Shopping: The Confessions of a Nice Jewish Girl, was published in 2000.
