reviewed Susan Hayward: Portrait of a Survivor on + 28 more book reviews
For over three decades, in such films as I'LL CRY TOMORROW and I WANT TO LIVE!, she dazzled audiences with her portrayals of tragic, stormy women. Her own life was even more dramatic -- overcoming poverty and a childhood accident that left her handicapped, winning the Oscar she deserved after four agonizing failures, finally finding love after the most heartbreaking divorce in Hollywood history. Because Susan Hayward never stopped fighting for happiness in her own life, she portrayed a woman's suffering as no other star before or since. With 16 pages of photographs from her life and career.
