• The Vanishing Virginian (MGM 1942) - This film, based on a 1931 memoir by Rebecca Yancey Williams and directed by the prolific Frank Borzage, explores society roles in plantations of the "Old Dominion" around Lynchburg and their socio-economic implications, as well as the movement for women’s suffrage, among other things. It is also the town's story, and various eminent Virginians cross the pages, including Carter Glass, General Jubal Early, Lady Astor's father, "Chilly" Langhorne, and others. [1] Katharine Alexander portrays an outspoken woman who moved North and got a divorce, and the TCM website indicates that she’s loosely based on Nancy Langhorne Astor. [2]
