SUSAN HAYWARD

Susan Hayward (born Edythe Marrenner) was an actress from the 1930s to the 1970s. She started in the late 1930s, and became a star in the 1940s, and at an age when many other actress' careers started to fade, she continued strong, and had some of her best roles in the 1940s. Some of her movies include: With A Song In My Heart (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), I'll Cry Tomorrow (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), I Want To Live (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Valley of the Dolls, The Conqueror, My Foolish Heart (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Smash-Up (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Beau Geste. Sadly, she passed away in 1975 from brain cancer, and she was only 57. She was one of the actors exposed to radiation while filming 'The Conqueror', which may have contributed to her illness.
