Hi Desiree,
I love "I'll Cry Tomorrow"! Susan Hayward gives one of the best performances on screen I've ever seen. This is the movie that turned me into a fan.
Have you ever seen "I Want to Live!"? That is another great one.
I'll Cry Tomorrow is an unforgettable book. The film is also. With A Song In My Heart is another favorite of mine. It will be released on dvd this fall... more on that just a little later.
If you click the website url above, you'll find your way to my friend Julie (who was Lillian Roth's secretary) and mine's website on Lillian Roth. There are a lot of great pictures and you'll learn more about Lillian.
Susan believed that "I'll Cry Tomorrow" was her best performance and that she should have won the Oscar for it. I agree. That's not putting down "I Want to Live" at all. She should have won twice!
My personal favorite of her films is "With a Song in My Heart."
Well, thank you for telling me about the forum, I appreciate it.
Oh, yes, I saw a clip of With a Song in My Heart and I would really like to see it, but I have never gotten a chance to see it just yet. Maybe I can buy it when it is released then. It sounds great.
Oh, yes, I"ve seen that section of your website, it's really great, thanks for putting that up!
Desiree..I'm glad you got to check out the Lillian Roth site..
As for With A Song In My Heart, I know for a fact that it is going to be shown as a pre-lease for a group of people in Columbia, Missouri who are gathering in November to celebrate the centennial of Jane Froman's birthdate. I am going to put up more info on this website very soon regarding this centennial.
It's been a long wait for With A Song In My Heart..so many have been waiting to see it. I have a feeling it will definitely be out and on sale sometime between early November and Christmas. As soon as I find out anything more, I'll let everyone know.
If you go to youtube, there are several clips of Jane Froman singing --When you see her mannerisims, it will really bring home the fact of how brilliantly Susan Hayward portrayed Jane Froman.
