I get frustrated when stars of the 40's and 50's are mentioned but Susan Hayward is omitted. She was one of the most talented actresses. I've read every book that has been written about her and that time period (I have a BA and a MA in theatre so I'm doing research for a project) and her life style is very quiet compared to her contemperaries. She wanted to hone her craft rather than just be a star. Her fellow actors felt that she was rude however she was very shy and fearful of people plus she wanted to save her energies between takes and didn't socialize perfering to retire to her trailer. If you watch her performances today you can see the European influence; early in her career she became aquinted with Greogory Rattoff, a actor, director and producer, and his acting teacher wife both from Europe. I am a fan! Thank You! I get frustrated when stars of the 40′s and 50′s are mentioned but Susan Hayward is omitted. She was one of the most talented actresses.

Lots of her movies have found their ways on Official DVD releases and they have been big sellers : With a song in my heart ,I'll cry tomorrow ,I want to live ,Snows of lilimanjaro ,Where love has gone,David and Betheba ,Smash up....and many others. Movies unlimited has just issed the official DVD of her 1961 major box office hit "Back street"... One thing i agree is that Hayward was a front rank star in the second part of the 1940's...she became one of the superstars of the 1960's and remained a major box office draw until the late sixties... Quite a great achievement for a female Hollywood star of her time....She was unique,both a great beauty and a very talented actress.
