her true calling led her through isolation, discovery, love and a stage career that culminated in performances for a United States president, European royalty and audiences across the world. Yet of all the stories she shared, none are more inspiring than her own.

    I'm always somewhat leery of these movies. It seems like they can't seem to make them without relying on stereotypes, and ignoring the truth. I hope this one is different. Thanks for the heads up DEZ. I'm not even sure if it's my type of movie, but I'll check it out.

      Hollywood has always been based on stereotypes of all kinds, sadly

    I am inclined to agree with Pat. Hollywood hardly ever sticks to the facts, but has to gussy it up to appeal to a wider audience. I do think it will be worth a watch, but I think a lot of it will have to be taken with a grain of salt as far as her story goes.

    It reminds of Pocahontas. I'm interested to learn more about the Native Americans' histories..in a fun way.
