is wild hearts can't be broken a true story

'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title. It was a quick read, but it gave a closer look at. The movie may be sappy-no surprise with that title-but Anwar provides bright star wattage and a plucky role model. I got this book because I enjoyed the movie Wild Hearts Cant Be Broken and wanted to get the real story.

What makes the movie memorable is the performance of the lovely Gabrielle Anwar, the doe-eyed actress who later danced the tango so memorably with Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken' tells the true story of Sonora Webster, an orphan from rural Georgia who became a featured attraction at Atlantic City's Steel Pier, diving from a 40-foot-high tower into a tank while astride a horse. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken has the usual love interest, a brush with tragedy, and some worldly wisdom (the latter doled out by old pro Cliff Robertson, in a nice role as a crusty barnstormer). After she joins a traveling show in the 1930s, spunky teen Sonora Webster (Gabrielle Anwar) learns the ropes and eventually lands a plum role in the program: riding a horse off a 40-foot-high diving board into a tank of water. Daydreams of love, adventure and stardom were the fantasies of every young girl growing up during the Great Depression, but for Sonora Webster those very. It's a variation on the old boy-runs-away-to-join-the-circus story, except this time the boy is a girl. This charming Disney live-action picture is a genuine sleeper.
