Long before the screen placed the face of Mary Pickford before the
eyes of millions of Americans, this girl, born August 13, 1860 as
Phoebe Anne Oakley Moses, had won the right to the title of
"America's Sweetheart." Having grown up learning to shoot game to
help support her family, Annie won first prize and met her future
husband at a shooting match when she was fifteen years old. He
convinced her to change her name to Annie Oakley and became her
husband, manager, and number-one fan for the next fifty years.
Annie quickly gained worldwide fame as an incredible crack shot,
and could amaze audiences at her uncanny accuracy with nearly any
rifle or pistol, whether aiming at stationary objects or shooting
fast-flying targets from the cockpit of a moving airplane. Despite
struggles with her health and even a long, drawn-out legal battle
with media magnate William Randolph Hearst, Annie Oakley poured her
energy into advocating for the U.S. military, encouraging women to
engage in sport shooting, and supporting orphans.
