    Storyline

    Edit
    The story of Mamie Hudler, aka Rodeo West (Billie Dove), from her days as a New Orleans singer to a California western movie cowgirl star to the queen of the New York City nightclubs and speakeasies with Oldfield (George MacFarlane) as the man she doesn't love and Brood (Edmund Lowe) as the man she does love. In short, the semi-close story of the real-life Texas Guinan, despite the disclaimers. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
