Product Description
In 1926 just a few months before her death Will Rogers described Annie Oakley as "the greatest woman rifle shot the world has ever produced." As the star attraction of Buffalo Bill s Wild West Show she thrilled audiences around the world with her daring shooting feats and her act helped fuel turn-of-the-century nostalgia for the vanished mythical world of the American West. Over time she became an American legend--the loud brassy cocksure shooter celebrated in the musical "Annie Get Your Gun." But that legend had little to do with the real Annie Oakley. Although famous as a Western sharpshooter Oakley lived her entire life east of the Mississippi. A champion in a man s sport she forever changed ideas about the abilities of women yet she opposed female suffrage. Her fame and fortune came from her skill with guns yet she was a Quaker. This probing AMERICAN EXPERIENCE production examines the dramatic life of a uniquely American icon whose complex character manifested many of the paradoxes of the nation.System Requirements:Running Time 60 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
