She was the toast of New York, Victorian London, Paris and eventually the world. She was "adopted" by Indian Chief Sitting Bull, charmed the Prince of Prussia and entertained the likes of Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria. Annie Oakley excelled in a man's world by doing what she loved, and won fame and fortune as the little lady from Ohio who never missed a shot.

American Experience presents the story of a five-foot, 100-pound sharpshooter who pulled herself out of the depths of poverty to become an iconic performer known the world over as a symbol of the Wild West. The film chronicles Oakley's life from her childhood in the Midwest to her world tours with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. "Many people know the fictionalized story that's been told on countless stages in Annie Get Your Gun," says program producer Riva Freifeld. "But the real Annie was much more than a brassy cocksure babe who would do anything to get her man."
