She becomes a movie star, of course! The quickest route to Hollywood for a plucky gal in the mid-twentieth century was to enter as many beauty pageants as possible and to sing, twirl and pivot her way into the hearts of judges. And so Peggy Ann Douglas did just that, as did so many other young women of her generation, hoping to follow in the footsteps of starletts like Debbie Reynolds. This tour-de-force memory play looks back at one young, optimistic farm girl's search for fame. By turns hilarious and poignant, Miss Caledonia paints a picture of one Ontario Scottish Protestant farm family and a vanished era. 650 0 $a Beauty contests $v Drama. 650 0 $a Farm life $v Drama. 650 0 $a Fame $v Drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119034407.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21BB970EFE5E11E2B6A414D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
