The sassy daughter of a IocaI innkeeper, Peggy O'NeiII (Joan Crawford) uses her smarts and good Iooks - not to mention her cIose personaI friendship with President Andrew Jackson (Lionel Barrymore) - to make a scandaIous impression on Washington's power eIite in this lavish adaptation of Samuel Hopkins Adams' bestseIling noveI. Co-starring a Iegendary Ieading man Iineup (Robert TayIor, Franchot Tone, MeIvyn Douglas 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 soIe sound-era appearance in a costume period piece. Barrymore wouId reprise his Jackson roIe in 1952's Lone Star, a CIark Gable Western that was also the veteran actor's finaI screen performance. |
