Susan Hayward
Susan Hayward (born Edythe Marrenner; June 30, 1917 – March 14, 1975) was an American actress best known for her film portrayals of women that were based on true stories.After working as a fashion model for the Walter Thornton Model Agency, Hayward traveled to Hollywood in 1937 to audition for the role of Scarlett O'Hara. She secured a film contract and played several small supporting roles over the next few years.
By the late 1940s, the quality of her film roles improved, and she achieved recognition for her dramatic abilities with the first of five Academy Award for Best Actress nominations for her performance as an alcoholic in ''Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman'' (1947). Hayward's success continued through the 1950s as she received nominations for ''My Foolish Heart'' (1949), ''With a Song in My Heart'' (1952), and ''I'll Cry Tomorrow'' (1955), winning the Academy Award for her portrayal of death row inmate Barbara Graham in ''I Want to Live!'' (1958). For her performance in ''I'll Cry Tomorrow'' she won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress.
After Hayward's second marriage and subsequent move to Georgia, her film appearances became infrequent; although she continued acting in film and television until 1972. She died in 1975 of brain cancer. Provided by Wikipedia
