Spanning the years from the 1870's to the turn of the century; CALAMITY JANE chronicles an uncommon woman's wild and woolly life; including her unorthodox affair with the legendary lawman Wild Bill Hickok; and the birth of their daughter. This film takes a very realistic look at one of the few liberated women in the old west. Two-time Emmy Award Winning and four-time Oscar Nominee Jane Alexander stars as CALAMITY JANE. Joining her in the star-studded cast is Frederic Forrest as Wild Bill Hickok; Ken Kercheval as the flamboyant Buffalo Bill Cody; and David Hemmings as the aristocratic stepfather of Jane's illegitimate daughter.
