Michelle Pfeiffer stars in an Oscar®-nominated role as Lurene Hallett, a Dallas hairstylist whose trip to President Kennedy's funeral takes a powerful turn. Devastated by his assassination, she boards a bus to Washington D.C. where she meets a perplexing father and his daughter who greatly impact her journey.
Dallas hairstylist Lurene Hallett's life revolves around the doings of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. She is devastated when President Kennedy is assassinated a few hours after she sees him arrive at Love Field.
