- She was the toast of Victorian London, New York, and Paris. She was "adopted" by Indian chief Sitting Bull, charmed the Prince of Prussia, and entertained the likes of Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria. Annie Oakley excelled in a man's world by doing what she loved, and won fame and fortune as the little lady from Ohio who never missed a shot.

What a great story of beginnings of extreme poverty to later great recognition based on Annie's sheer will, determination, gifted talent.
A great American story. The stuff of legends.
"Annie are you Oakley, are you Oakley Annie?" Sir Michael of Jackson.
Why I do say, that is genius sir!!

Interesting and unknown fact about her extended family. Annie had a baby cousin who grew up to became a tank gunner then commander in the US 7th Armored Division. He sure did give those German's hell.
She is my cousin. My 5th great grandpa was brother to Annie's great grandma Mary Cripe Wise.
I never knew she was so pretty.
It most likely helped her.
@@kallen868 It was said cynically.
Typical male comment, objectifying women.
i think she was bretty,what im seeing in fotos.
Yowsa! Annie Oakley was super fine!
In Left 4 Dead 2, when Rochelle kill any special infected, Ellis call her Annie Oakley because of her aiming skill
Professor going rogue at the end subtlety referring to her own divorce 😂
Very very determined look in that young woman eyes.
Wow she was gorgeous
What a remarkable and pretty Lady.
Can't tell you how much I'd pay to see a well-made film on the match with her arch-rival Lillian Smith. Those two women could hardly be any more different. Oakley was indeed ladylike and happily married to her husband Frank Butler, Smith on the other hand was a mouthy cocky girl less than 20 who often enjoyed flirting with the young men who came to see her perform (she also bragged repeatedly that she would dethrone the riflewoman legend). When the match finally happened, Smith performed horribly (possibly from being so cocky) while Oakley nailed all her shots. The media laughed hysterically at how one-sided it ended up being.
@@thunderbird1921 Thank you for your comment and the historical information! I need to re-watch this video and refresh my memory.
Hard times make amazing people!
❤ thanks for posting ❤
Never Missed
That’s hard to top.
Clint Eastwood re-do a film of Annie that is true and accurate with all the heartship from birth! Need a actress that’s right for part! You would be the one to do it!
Whatcha think about Hilary Swank teaming up with Clint for one last movie? Of Annie Oakley.
Legend
Yesterday was her birthday!!
Thankyou.
Wow oakley sunglasses.
I would love to see a more accurate movie of her life. As her possible relative and a shootist.
A very beautiful woman.
And she was far more than that!
Lol… the comments on here from men… you either can’t believe a woman could shoot the way she did so are calling her a man or diminish her by merely talking about her looks and how pretty she was 🙄
A good shot is kind of born. She had that. Now a match up with pistols between her and say Elmer Keith in both their prime would have been interesting.
Just don't piss her off
Oof hello person that’s totally my grandma
Deep
what A Woman
Does anybody knows what is dating?
Kind of like the original work marks woman
Am I the only one here from Morgan walkers song “outlaw”?!?
Yay Suffragettes. Yes arm them, too.
Not much pelole nos this but amne oakley is my great great great great great grandma
She had no kids. She had brothers and sisters though. She and her siblings are my cousins through my fathers side.
@@jonathancripe5776. I have been told I may be related to Annie or Calamity, wild bill. I would love to see an accurate representation of her life. There was some very ugly truth in her early life. A truly beautiful woman that lived her life and loved with all her might.
I have been to Lookout Mtn. Denver, CO. Every year since I was a baby. My family are in the area. I studied all I could about Buffalo Bill n Wild Bill.
Poor little girl!!
I love that Frank loses to a better marksperson, then promptly offers her tickets to see him shoot. lol! classic...oh the male ego!
Annie crystal Oakley &Johnny Appleseed is Gianni Versace Jr. World war two name switch 8 family scores...
I wonder what Annie Oakley would say to David Hogg.
Cletus Kasady “Sit down, little boy. There are plenty of men & plenty of women willing & capable of protecting silly panty wastes like you.”
" I'll give you a headstart. Run, boy, run"
@@LWL1220 I am sure Annie Oakley had WAY more compassion, common sense, and respect for life than any of you sad, little men, who feel that hiding behind your firearm makes you a big, brave man. The woman was in show business. She didn't shoot people. She shot at targets. When one of YOUR children is traumatized by a gunman showing up at their school, maybe you will grow up a bit and have a slightly better understanding of how the world works.
@@swarzeoz2550 maybe you'll grow up and realize an armed society is a polite and safe society.
@@joshuagibson2520 I am well into my 60s and have lived overseas and traveled extensively. The United States is FAR FROM being a polite and safe society regarding our obsession with guns. FAR from it.
That's CRAZY people from Ohio with the last name Wolf, did this to Annie!?!? 🤷♀️
Probably spelled Wulff
Annie Oakley what I call female empowerment.
Since no earplugs were used back then I don’t see how she wasn’t deaf
DAMN she was cute!
She'd have learned a thing or two from George digweed. Marriage would have been definite. Xx
Didn't that woman ever use hearing protectors? I am serious.
Noone else notice she was 15 when Butler started courting her???
Different times back then. It was legally okay and very common.
@@kaylajames9334 eww, it's was even OK to marry younger than that. Child marriage and rape within marriage was legal
These programs are so obvious in their agitprop, that at least you know what you're dealing with in the first couple minutes.
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
I remember Salvatori dying . Director of fbi on other team. We are world war two youth . An Daniel bregoli Annie crystal Oakley an Johnny Appleseed shot em down at a golden wall. 350 vs 350 750vs750 1000vs1000 we beat springfeild an westpoint an they tried killing world war two winners
Looks like her descendants deserve reparations, since even PBS acknowledges that she was a slave.
You showed them loading shotgun shells and the show a single bullet flying.... .......
Ummm hear of buck shots?
Regardless of how many pellets are stored in each shell, there is still only 1 detonation per trigger press.
How about a Henry lever action 410 with a 45cal. Slug....
She had the face of a young Christian Slater.
Gagahaga 😎 hahaha yeah ❤️
Kill bill brought me here.
Not watched the vid but the picture shown is a man with long hair. Look at jaw & brow line.
😂
Is that julia roberts?

Annie was the greatest.she was a perfect example of what women could do .when they took second place in all important things.
Shut
How incorrect in so many ways.
Caveman Rob Care to explain?
@@Alexander661 care to research?
@@cavemanrob If you are going to make a claim YOU should back it up.
Are we sure she was Annie, or was HE Andy Oakley.
I heard someone else say Annie was Andy
So stupid.
Stupid comment
Thats being disrespectful to my ancestry. Please be respectful.
Need to withdrawal all taxpayer funding from PBS
Wonder if they're going to spin Annie in a feminist / woman's rights way. I'll watch and see.
She was a feminist to the bone. Read her quotes
Wow, i never realized she looks like a man
FIRST LEZBIAN COULD OUT SHOOT AND OUT RIDE ANY MAN OF HER TIME
LESBIAN no Z
Not true. She and her husband Frank Butler had a fantastic marriage for 50 years (although they were unable to have children for unknown reasons).
Nice try but no.
MY COUSIN WAS NOT A LESBIAN!! She was physically unable to have kids.
I dont like her.
She looks a little manly, maybe a lot manly.
No.
Your toxic masculinity is showing, you need to realize that women are equal to men. Stop shaming women for having success
@@vazidajetako He means that she acts like a stereotypical man, he didn't specify if it was ok or not for him.
@@unicorn6582 Baby you obviously didn't get what he meant.
@@vazidajetako But aren't you like giving him a so specific speech for an open to interpretation comment? I guess I didn't get it.
Annie was really a short man . Short guys will do anything for attention
You're just jealous.
my family bought me and i understand her
left at 15 and was treated like a slave fo sho
I’m related to her!! 🫶 got a tattoo of her on my leg. what a cool lady
