Final Jeopardy Explanation – Tuesday, July 2 2024

Beulah Annan, acquitted of shooting her lover in 1924, served as the inspiration for the character Roxie Hart in the play, film, and musical “Chicago.” The play, originally written by Maurine Dallas Watkins, is a satirical take on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the “celebrity criminal.” Watkins, a journalist at the time, had covered Annan’s sensational murder trial for the Chicago Tribune, and her articles heavily influenced her playwriting. Roxie Hart’s character is portrayed as a charmingly manipulative woman who aspires to use the notoriety from her trial to catapult herself into a vaudeville career, much like Annan who captivated the city and media with her story and courtroom drama. The play was first adapted into a silent film in 1927, then a 1942 movie titled “Roxie Hart” with Ginger Rogers, and eventually into the iconic Broadway musical “Chicago” in 1975, which has since seen numerous adaptations including the famous 2002 film version.
