I remember this movie well from my youth. I also remember how disappointed I was after watching the movie and then later seeing what the real Rachel Jackson looked liked compared to the reel Rachel Jackson (Susan Hayward)

If Rachel looked anything like Emily in her youth, she wasn't at all bad looking:
