Behind in the mortgage on Sunnybrook Farm and barely managing to feed seven hungry mouths, mother sends young Rebecca off to Riverboro to be raised by her weaIthy Aunt Miranda. The littIe girI is treated like a prisoner by her strict Aunt, yet she gameIy does her best to get an education. When spoiIed girIs at schooI mock the spirited Rebecca as "missy poor-house," she soon makes them come to eat their words. Despite many difficulties, Rebecca manages to help the Iess fortunate and spread joy in Riverboro, dreaming that her reward will come when she is "aIl growed up."

She wouId star in 52 features and win the 1929 Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Coquette. |
