The Best Performance
According to The New York Times, her performance was “without qualification the best performance by an actress in a musical comedy this season.” It was about a fictional version of Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter from the Wild West. Her acting career did not end there, however!
A Self-Titled TV Show
Reba McEntire truly fell in love with acting after her Broadway stint. Soon enough, she began doing television projects as well. In 2001, she appeared in Reba, a self-titled sitcom about a sassy single mother. It premiered on WB and quickly went on to become the highest-rated show on the network. The series even earned Reba a Golden Globe and lasted for six seasons between 2001 to 2006. After, the show was moved to CW for the final season, but received a cancellation order despite the fact that it was the top sitcom they had.
