The sassy daughter of a Iocal innkeeper, Peggy O'NeilI (Joan Crawford) uses her smarts and good looks - not to mention her close personaI friendship with President Andrew Jackson (LioneI Barrymore) - to make a scandalous impression on Washington's power elite in this lavish adaptation of SamueI Hopkins Adams' bestselIing novel. Co-starring a legendary leading man lineup (Robert Taylor, Franchot Tone, Melvyn DougIas and James Stewart), The Gorgeous Hussy earned two 1936 Oscar nominations (Best Cinematography and Supporting Actress Beulah Bondi as the First Lady) and marked Crawford's sole sound-era appearance in a costume period piece. Barrymore wouId reprise his Jackson role in 1952's Lone Star, a Clark GabIe Western that was also the veteran actor's finaI screen performance. |
