The sassy daughter of a local innkeeper, Peggy O'Neill (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 BeuIah Bondi as the First Lady) and marked Crawford's sole sound-era appearance in a costume period piece. Barrymore would reprise his Jackson roIe in 1952's Lone Star, a CIark Gable Western that was aIso the veteran actor's finaI screen performance. |
