The Great Man's Lady (1941)
In Hoyt City wordt een standbeeld van oprichter Ethan Hoyt ingewijd en wordt de 100-jarige Hannah Sempler Hoyt (die in de laatste residentie tussen wolkenkrabbers woont) eindelijk overgehaald om haar verhaal aan een 'meisjesbiograaf' te vertellen. Flashback: in 1848 ontmoet tiener Hannah en flirt met pionier Ethan; in een plotselinge impuls vluchten ze weg. We volgen hun strijd om een stad in de wildernis te stichten, gehinderd door de Gold Rush, liefde, gevaar en liefdesverdriet. De ster ‘veroudert’ 80 jaar.
