ploughed through some exceptionally wooden acting from Ms Hayward and all I can say is..
WHY???
WHY was this actress given ANY role?
At all?
EVER????
Thank god for John Gavin doing his best Cary Grant and Vera Miles out acting the lot of them......
Do I detect any sarcasm Skylightmovies? Susan Hayward was an excellent actress.
shareThat is your opinion and I am happy to respect that.
However, I usually find her histrionics - over emphasising everything with eye widening, heaving chest and lowered vocal tone - fake and a little tiring.
Give me Bette Davis, Jean Simmons, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Viven Leigh, Audrey and Katherine Hepburn any day.
Yes, you're right...everyone is entitled to their opinions...I just thought that Susan was in the same league as the ladies you just mentioned above.
shareYou are not the only one.
My father in law was obsessed with her...and Hedy Lamarr.
I must say, having explained myself I am in awe of the variety , light and shade, of the 40's and 50's actresses.
Now the main draw appears to be Jennifer Aniston and clone....that's it.
What will happen when Meryl or Glenn are no more?
The dumbing down of talented actresses....bleh
