Diane Lane in Cotton Club)Gladys George in Roaring Twenties and Untochables episode,The Larry Fay Story(June Havoc)were all based on Texas.

 

 

Ann Sothern,Ann Sheridan,and Betty Grable would have been good picks to..(Note Ann Sheridan was considered in The Roaring Twenties,but was replaced by Gladys.)
