    I am looking for the title of a recent movie that was based on a true story about a woman, with quite a few kids and an abusive husband, who kept her family afloat by winning contests and writing radio jingles. The lead role may have been played by Julianne Moore. Any ideas?

    Which Hollywood movie is based on the true story of a woman who launched a manhunt for her husband who faked his death to dump his family?

    What is the name of the movie which starred an American woman whose husband sends her to an outback sheep farm in Australia with all of her kids and they haven't got a clue what they are doing, although she learns when he goes back to America. One child rides a horse, one is a ballerina. They have a snake that lives in the sink and the husband comes back to take over but the wife is content with her life on the farm with just her and the kids?

    Once considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, she lived near a park in a big city. A popular song was supposedly composed about her (the title mentions her first name and also the place where she lived) A movie was later made with this song's title, but the movie was not about our woman: it was a thinly veiled story about the real-life woman who used to sing the song on the stage. Our woman did not rely on her beauty: she drew on another talent to produce something that eventually became known the world over, bringing her a fortune -- a fortune that eventually vanished, as did she in a fashion: she left the big city and moved to her family home in the wilderness, which burned after her death. The lot, and her grave, were reclaimed by nature for a time. Today, a rebuilt house and museum celebrate her life, with some fanfare planned for later this year. Who was she?
