Als das Leben in dem Provinzstaedtchen Haverford sie zu ersticken droht, flieht sie nach Chicago, um dort Musik zu studieren. Doch sie ist nicht zur Kuenstlerin geboren, denn fuer eine grosse Karriere fehlt es ihr an Wille und Disziplin.

Es ist eine Begegnung, die ihr weiteres Leben schicksalhaft veraendern soll. 586397 1935 Lucy Gayheart (Vintage Classics) total:198|5:55|4:65|3:58|2:18|1:2| 198 747 285 26 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 21:04:25 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 21:25:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Mar 26 14:42:08 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 21:49:44 -0700 2008
