From the farm girl who grew up poor during the Great Depression in California's Tulare County... the great-niece of a notorious train robber... to the child actress who made her debut in film serials... and eventually to one of television's western icons in the form of playing the lead role in series such as Calamity Jane and Marshal Blaine... this is the official biography of Jillian Adams.
You might've read about her in other publications such as The Last Cowgirl in Tinseltown, Jillian Adams: The Last Interview, Over the Rainbow and 'Round the Moon, or perhaps even the documentary Marshal Blaine itself. But here's a unique chance to gain insight into the life and career of this controversial-at-times celebrity, cowgirl, and philanthropist through commentaries, media clips, and even Jillian's own words from interviews over the years. From her upbringing to her career in Hollywood and life off-camera, it's a rare opportunity to see how Jillian spent much of her time with us Embracing the Calamity.
With introduction by Felicity Demarest.
