When I was younger I used to love to enter contest!
Tonight I saw "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" starring Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson. Set in the 50s and 60s, it's about a smalltown housewife who makes ends meet by winning contests. Harrelson plays her good-for-nothing husband who is a raging alcoholic.
Turns out it's based on a true story written by one of the family's nine children.
I guess being born in the 60s I missed the era of housewives writing contest-winning jingles -- and including a proof-of-purchase with their entry.
