Babe (1975)

A real-life track-and-field star, Mildred "Babe" Didrikson competes in the 1932 Olympics and wins two gold medals. Naturally athletic, Babe also dabbles in other sports, but decides to pursue golf as a professional -- with great success. When she meets former wrestler George Zaharias, her romance with him leads to marriage. Later, George proves to be Babe's main support when she discovers that she has cancer and must battle the disease.
