I only recently discovered the great Susan Hayward by accident. I had DVR'd TCM's tribute to Thelma Ritter and watched "With a Song in My Heart". I had never seen it. What a great movie!
I was overwhelmed by Susan's amazing talent and her great beauty. She was so graceful in her dances and so real when she sang Jane's songs.
I read both of her bio's, BROOKLYN'S SCARLETT by Arcieri and the other from Linet. I loved Arcieri's book! It left a great impression on me and I have not gotten over the amazing life story of this great woman. What a movie it would make!
I had seen 2 of Ms. Hayward's movies as a child in the 60's and enjoyed her then, but had not seen any of her other movies as an adult.
I was delighted to discover your message board and am happy to meet other admirers of this great actress.
