Kitty Foyle (subtitled: The Natural History of a Woman) is a 1940 American drama film starring Ginger Rogers, Dennis Morgan, and James Craig, based on Christopher Morley's 1939 bestselling novel of the same name. The film focuses on a working class woman from Philadelphia who falls in love with a young socialite, soon finding herself at odds with his austere family.
Rogers won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the title character, and the dress she wore in the film became known as a Kitty Foyle dress.
