Susan (Freakin') Hayward

What a dame! This woman is fierce. She is able to be steely, fragile and unflattering. What a broad!!!

I have seen her in so many movies. Here are a few clips of her in action.

Susan played the singer, Jane Froman in the movie. There is a touching scene with Susan and Robert Wagner that always seems to choke me up.

This is a movie based on Lillian Roth. What a life. Susan did her own singing. Fierce.

from: I Want to Live 1958

She won the Academy Award for this movie. Her stuff at the end of the movie (not to take away anything from the first half, at all)! That turn of hers, the back and forth...*le whew*

from: Valley of the Dolls 1967

I mean, honestly, who doesn't like a little bit o' camp? This movie is awful! But, a lot of fun (in an AWful way). And, yes. I own it. "Boobies, boobies, boobies!"
