61 Rare Photos of Susan Hayward (1930's -1950's)

Susan Hayward (born Edythe Marrenner; June 30, 1917 - March 14, 1975) was an American actress and model.
After working as a fashion model, Hayward traveled to Hollywood in 1937. 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 had improved, and she achieved recognition for her dramatic abilities with the first of five Academy Award nominations for Best Actress for her performance as an alcoholic in Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman (1947). Her career continued successfully through the 1950s and she received subsequent nominations for My Foolish Heart (1949), With a Song in My Heart (1952), and I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955). She finally won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of death row inmate Barbara Graham in I Want to Live! (1958).
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.

I have discovered Susan Hayward only recently. What a beauty! Her photos show her full of life and as open, sincere person. She was excellent in movies, the first ones come comes to mind her roles together with Tyrone Power in "Rawhide" and with Clark Gable in "Soldier of Fortune". Very unjust that such talented actress had to go so early. RIP Susan!
