Eduardo Moreno's book The Films of Susan Hayward, had these comments regarding ICTHM and that "Hayward stepped into this role to replace Jeanne Crain, orginally slated to play the part." and about WASIMH, he wrote that "Jeanne Crain wanted desperately to play Jane Froman, but the singer preferred Susan, who looked a little like her." Eduardo was a true authoritarian on Susan, more then any one I've ever known. This may have cleared up a few questions, I hope. Thanks.

Ray, now that you mentioned it, I realize that I had read about Jeanne Crain and WASIMH in Eduardo Moreno's book. But for some reason, I thought Crain didn't get the part because of pregnancy, not because she wasn't Froman's selection. Fortunately for us and moviegoers everywhere, Susan was!

Thanks.

Amen to that!! Gloria, thanks for your comments.
