She and her husband Frank Butler, also a sharpshooter, performed in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The musical play and film Annie Get Your Gun was based on her life.
(North American English, informal) a free ticket or pass, for example for a theatre performance. It is called this because it has holes in it (so that it cannot be used again) and looks like one of the cards shot by Annie Oakley as part of her act.
