The real Annie Oakley (1860 – 1926), was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Annie Oakley's astonishing shooting talent eventually led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
Her rise to fame in the late 19th century caused her to become one of the first American women to become a "superstar".
She was also was known as "Miss Annie Oakley", "Little Sure Shot", and "Little Miss Sure Shot"
Like Buffalo Bill -- Annie Oakley's fame led to several movies and television shows about her life (both real and mythical).
