AS SEEN ON TV: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNIE OAKLEY!

ANNIE OAKLEY

AS SEEN IN:
'The Murdoch Mysteries'

AS PLAYED BY:
Sarah Strange

From Wikipedia:
Annie Oakley (August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926), born Phoebe Ann Mosey, was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Oakley's amazing talent and timely rise to fame led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar.
Oakley's most famous trick is perhaps being able to repeatedly split a playing card, edge-on, and put several more holes in it before it could touch the ground, while using a .22 caliber rifle, at 90 feet.

Today would have been her 151st birthday......
