Annie's life one of considerable folklore. Another legitimate report claims that Annie returned to Oklahoma, where in 1901, she married Earl Frost of Perry, by whom she had two sons, Robert C. Frost (1903-1993) and Carlos D. Frost, before they divorced in 1909. The museum in Guthrie maintains that Annie married a second time -- to Whitmore R. Roach (1879-1947), a native [[Texas|Texan]], veteran of [[World War I]], and a painting contractor in  [[Oklahoma City]], where they lived after 1912, having resided the preceding two years in [[Fort Worth]], [[Texas]]. This "Emma McDoulet Roach," as the tombstone in Rose Hill Burial Park in Oklahoma City reads, died in 1978, just a few weeks shy of her nineth-sixth birthday. Her newspaper obituary makes no mention of the "Cattle Annie" days or even the first name "Anna" but uses the reduced "Emma" from "Emmaline". The obituary indicates that she had been a bookkeeper in her later working career. Her services were held in the Olivet [[Baptist]] Church in Oklahoma City, of which she was a member. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary.<ref name=fgrave/>

In the film, directed by Lamont Johnson, Amanda Plummer and Diane Lane are joined in their portrayals of Cattle Annie and Little Britches by Burt Lancaster as an historically inaccurate and much older Bill Doolin, Rod Steiger as Marshal Bill Tilghman, Scott Glenn as William M. Dalton, and Buck Taylor as the outlaw Dynamite Dick, presumably Dan Clifton, or "Dynamite Dan."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082145/fullcredits|title=''Cattle Annie and Little Britches''|publisher=Internet Movie Data Base|accessdate=December 27, 2012}}</ref>
