She was a "New Jersey woman who made history in 1924 when she became the first woman to ride the diving horses at Steel Pier in Atlantic City, who became blind after a diving accident but continued high-diving horses for many years, and whose story was told in the 1991 movie "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken", died Sept. Here you can see a nice montage of the movie.ĭid you recall that the movie was actually based on the real life story of Sonora Webster Carver. Looking back now, of course I have a different perspective on the whole thing but at the time, I dreamed of being Sonora and diving my horses! At the sight of her face, and her curly brown hair, I was immediately taken back to my childhood.to sitting in front of the TV and watching this movie, marveling at the horses, and the will of this young woman. Does anyone else remember this movie? I was flipping channels this evening and found an old movie featuring the actress that played Sonora in Wild Hearts Cant Be Broken.
