State Fair was her first film, although Pocketful of Miracles (1961), made on loanout to Columbia, was released first. In 1962, she won a Golden Globe Award as "New Star of the Year." In spite of all this talent, State Fair was not the box office hit that Fox hoped it would be. It cost $4.4 million to make, and grossed only $3.5 million.
