I really loved Susan Hayward. She was very gifted. Thank you so much for all your work on this. It flowed very smoothly to me. You gave all the highlights of her life that I was interested in. God bless you.
nora ribelin Thank you Nora, I did not realize all things she went through when i started on her video. She tried so hard to live a normal life. Notice her home even in California had no gates. As the rest of her neighborhood did. Thanks again, Jerry
One of my most favorite movies starring Susan Hayward is Back Street. A love story filled with drama and tears. She was a tremendous actress and beautiful!
Jerry, you did it for me again. I always respected Susan Hayward's acting ability and very much enjoyed her beauty. Going through the comments took quite awhile. Some were interesting, some were not. Parts of this lady's life were tragic, and that is a shame. It was moving to see that she loved and was loved so deeply. I'm glad she had that. Many thanks, Kat
Oh who can forget Susan Hayward? Love her movies! She was a great actress and every one of them. God bless her little heart. What a beginning in life and what an ending in life she bared.
I was a huge fan too. Remember when we were shocked that other countries were using their people as guinea pigs and so relievec that "our government would NEVER do that to us? Hah! We lost some really great actors and actresses because of that and in particular Susan Hayward.
She was a beautiful lady and great actress indeed. I live just 19 miles from her home in Carrollton, Ga. In the 60's I was attending West Georgia College in Carrollton and had to drive right by her house to get to classes. It was a beautiful place.
"I Want to Live' was a gripping Tour D Force by one of the greatest if not the top of her craft over all others ,in my opinion. Wonderfully well presented .thanks
I just love your voice and tone. It makes it so easy to listen to your interesting mini biographies of the stars and singers when I watched their films on tv in the U.K. in the 1960’s and songs I listened to on the radio. Thank you Jerry so much!
I also remember watching her movies as a young girl, and on Turner Classics as an adult, she remains my favorite dramatic actress...always so believable in every role she played..Thanks
Susan Hayward was one of the greats of old Hollywood. A true MOVIE STAR and a fine actress. Although she won an Academy Award for "I Want To Live" many felt that she also should have gotten an Oscar for her portrayal of Lillian Roth in "I'll Cry Tomorrow". It was the story of a stage & screen star who fell into alcoholism and recovered with the help of A.A. Many people were inspired by this film and found recovery in A.A including me.
Fabulous Tribute to a "Beautiful" and Talented Actress... R.I.P. Ms Susan Hayward Chalkley ..... Well presented.... Thank You Kindly for posting......................
This was a tribute to Susan that she would have appreciated. I saw her many times in Carrollton, driving her El Camino with her dogs in the back and a scarf tied around her hair, no make-up, with her freckles shining. Carrollton loved her and she was not a movie star, she was one of us. No one ever stopped her for an autograph, we all respected her privacy. When her body came back for burial the local newspaper had a banner headline "Susan comes home" and most of the paper was a tribute to her. She said the happiest time of her life was spent in Carrollton and Carrollton mourned deeply for her. Thank you for the tribute.
Acting ability-without ANY doubt. Stunningly BEAUTIFUL-without question. Her performances stay with you. Most recently, I watched her with Gable in Soldier of Fortune. However some chose to characterize this film, melodrama or whatever, her performance resonates! Also the score is memorable beyond belief by a composer not given due credit-period. Quite the career he had, we need to remember and I thank you sir for this excellent review of her life. We must all remember that every life has high and low points. She had some very remarkable years in Hollywood and privately. Let’s remember those and be grateful for her and ourselves. Always a skeptic when given any assurance of something that seems questionable.....
Thankyou so much fordoing this documentry for the Beautiful Susan Hayward.. I think I Want to Live was her best role ever.She was to me a Beautiful and wonderful Actress..who sounds like she was so kind gentle and loving both in the movies and off. God Bless You for doing this for Susan..and I am sure if Susan had of met you she would have loved you.xx
This was truly heart breaking. Sad we cannot trust our own government, which led to the deaths of Susan and some of the remaining cast. Both of my parents died from cancer and it is a horrible thing to see. They left us with many great memories though. Jerry you are the best!
She was outstanding and memorable. Even though I saw her movies as a young child, she remains in my mind as one of the best actresses I have ever seen. She was bigger than life on the screen and seemed to put her entire being into the roles she played. God bless the soul of Susan Hayward.
Hi Jerry. I've been a classic hollywood fan for quite some years now, and so I was very surprised to find such an informative and wonderful channel as this on youtube. I'm slowly working my way through all your videos and I must say this is far better than anything on TCM. As a Private Detective you uncover photos never seen before, and your down-to-earth manner means we dont have to put up with Scandal and Gossip and can hear stories behind the stories. In the case of this video, I'd never heard about The Conqueror or the seeming curse which went along with it. And frankly I dont expect to see this topic outside of this channel. Most people write off cancer if the people smoked, but smoking does not cause the cancers you talk about in this show. Basically I find it amazing that you are making these shows and we get to see some real investigation, uncovering lots of trivia and emotions not found on TV, and from a fan for fans. I realise you arent getting any younger, and havent posted for a while, but I hope comments like these prove what a star you really are, and I hope you can continue to investigate for us and make these shows. All the best. Dan.
LemonTubeAmiga Thank you Dan, and yes i am getting older by the day. But i will try and make more videos and i hope you will continue to watch. Thank you. Jerry
My introduction to Susan Hayward was when a TV channel out of Philadelphia began broadcasting movies at 4:00 PM (charmingly, the theme music was a recording of "The Syncopated Clock" by Leroy Anderson) in advance of the evening news which came on at 6:00 PM in the 1950s. The movie was entitled "With a Song in My Heart" about Jane Froman. The second was "I Want to Live" referencing the life of Barbara Graham who may have been wrongly convicted and executed for murder. Hayward's rendition of the line (when the confessor tell her to hold her breath and then breathe deeply of the gas in order to shorten her sufferings), "How the hell would YOU know?" still resonates with me all these decades later. Others were "The President's Lady" (about Rachel Jackson), "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", and others. My parents took me to see "Demetrius and the Gladiators" in a theater, but I was too young and slept through it, so that movie, too, was seen first on TV.
Fantastic job as always, Jerry (However, I thought the ad running beforehand with Larry Arnn sitting with students from Hillsdale College was intensely fascinating. What a privilege to be able to sit at the same table with the brilliant Dr. Arnn and engage in a rational exchange of perspective.)
I first saw Susan Hayward in the film 'Demetrius and the Gladiators', and thought she was absolutely beautiful, with such lovely red hair. It is such a pity we don't have 'Film Stars' like we used to. They had real talent in those days. The only one I can think of today is Meryl Streep. R.I.P Susan. Hollywood lost one of its finest.
I like the way this tribute pays proper respect to one of the most genuine ladies that Hollywood had the privilege to employ and whose character and performances gained entry into our hearts forever! It is also very important that people of all times know about the radiation poisoning that claimed the lives of so many of these great people whose performances have given so much to each of us! This makes this video more than a tribute. It is a "document " revealing little known truth!
I always thought that "Say Goodbye, Maggie Cole" was her final acting role. The theme song is so haunting. Sang by Dusty Springfield, I believe. Was one of those movie of the weeks so popular in the 70's. Always liked Susan.
+Franco Malanchini Franco, i love the food and the country. I had an Italian restaurant one time and went broke eating the food. (Ha) Thank you Franco. Jerry
I love Susan Hayward one of the best Actress in melodrama she played tortured women like no other ..Footnote Bette Davis and her hated each other when they made Where Love has Gone ..
She was one of my favorite movie stars. What a sad thing to happen to so many people. I am 88 yrs old and had never heard of the cancer taking the life of these people.
A friend of mind was 1000 yards from ground zero when they set off a nuclear bomb in the early 50's , he was in a slit trench and the army said that he would be ok. He died of skin cancer.
MY MOST FAVORITE ACTRESS SUSAN HAYWARD I HAVE MANY OF HER MOVIES TO ME IN "LOOKS" AND "ACTING" SHE PAST LIZ TAYLOR BY A BILLION MILES !!! REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND !!!
Your voice is so soothing Jerry, thank you. For all of those gvt liars who said it was "safe" to film at that location, they should have all been forced to live there for the rest of their lying lives. Any time the "gvt" tells you something is "safe" RUN FORREST, RUN!!!!!!!!!!
ALL MY LIFE I WOULD SAY I WISH I COULD LOOK LIKE SUSAN HAYWARD..IF SOMEONE WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE...."WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOOK LIKE "..IT WOULD BE ..SUSAN HAYWARD..SO BEAUTIFUL
Loved her films as a boy you could say she was my first crush I was born in 1958 loved John Wayne westerns and stuff ,look forward to seeing her and John at the reserection they are only sleeping they will be back but not to the earth as we know it at present .
The town of St. George is still there in Utah. I spent time there in the seventies. I got away with only pancreatic cancer and was treated in Germany. Still most of me is here today. I wonder what the cancer rate is among residents?
MY MOM, NAMED ME AFTER, THIS BEAUTIFUL ICONIC ACTRESS U BECAME A ACTRESS BECAUSE OF HER GRT STYLE, AND TOUGH - WOMAN PERSONA! " I WANT TO LIVE", I"'LL CRY TOMORROW",BACKSTREET", & "I WANT TO LIVE" WHERE SHE WON THE ACADEMY AWARD!! ARE CLASSICS!! SHE STILL INSPIRES ME, BEAUTY, TOUGHEST, BRAINS, & A STEEL WILL, DEFINEDS MY PERSONALITY!! A GREAT STAR, NEVER TOO COME AGAIN!! SUSAN C. WILSON
His name I think was Mark Kirsh, or Kirshner. Forgive me, it was years ago..but I recall a documentary somewhere about Susan Hayward and when one of her sons came on the screen, I was amazed - there was indeed, strong similarity in their features. When Mark would be looking after Mrs. Chalkey, she would sometimes remark on it. Mark lived down in (I believe?) Fayetteville, in later years and we have lost touch. But he loved Susan Hayward as I did - and had the pleasure to take care of her during her illness, which he was humbly grateful for...
And how many other test sites were too close to people for comfort; over a hundred miles is a long way. If the government said it was unsafe, people would connect the dots. What a sad mess. Great job on the film and thanx. Susan is a darling!!
Susan. hayward. was. not. only agorgeous. lady. , but. one. of. the. most. gifted. talents. of the. 20th. century. not. too. many actresses. had. the. privilege. to. be. nominated. many. times for. many great. films she. was. undoubtedly. agreat. Talent. in. 1974. u saw. her at. the. Óscar. ceremonies. then. in. april. 1975. she was. dead... the. world. was. in. shock. rest. in. peace...
A good video on Susan, Jerry. I knew her ex husband Jess Barker during the entire 1980's into the '90's. I was the manager of the building that Jess lived in in North Hollywood.
Jerry. In the '80's of course it was many years since Jess's big divorce ordeal with Susan. He was, as I am now, an aging man with many life disappointments he seemed. He was happy when his son, I think only one, came to visit him. He was generally a friendly guy. He did have a big problem at this time with alcohol. There would be weeks and he would not be seen. Then he would appear and be social with his several friends in the building. It was tough seeing him at his worst. At times when I had to go get his rent check. We all cared a lot about him and were glad when he was functioning at his best. It was hard to see the part of him that destroyed himself. He would just be,, disappeared, and missed. It was sad that he was known more for his big court divorce and child custody WITH SUSAN,, than he was remembered for his own acting career.
I always thought she was so beautiful. I read the book I'll cry tomorrow before I saw the movie. And saw the movie I want to live when it came out. I didn't know the story about the red sand causing cancers. I guess the government didn't make it public. Since they died one at a time I never put all of that together. Thank you, Jerry.
Most of these actors were heavy smokers in real life so the radiation hit their weakened immune systems particularly hard. Smoking plus radiation was a deadly combination!
I really loved Susan Hayward. She was very gifted. Thank you so much for all your work on this. It flowed very smoothly to me. You gave all the highlights of her life that I was interested in. God bless you.
nora ribelin Thank you Nora, I did not realize all things she went through when i started on her video. She tried so hard to live a normal life. Notice her home even in California had no gates. As the rest of her neighborhood did. Thanks again, Jerry

So sad, yet, so well published, she was so lovely and such a great actress, sad ending is 'very SAD'!!!
I also remember watching her movies as a young girl, and on Turner Classics as an adult, she remains my favorite dramatic actress...always so believable in every role she played..Thanks
Thank you very much Donna for commenting. jerry

I didn't know the story about the red sand causing cancers. I guess the government didn't make it public. Since they died one at a time I never put all of that together. Thank you, Jerry.
Most interesting, such a beautiful lady. I enjoyed many of her movies.
Most of these actors were heavy smokers in real life so the radiation hit their weakened immune systems particularly hard. Smoking plus radiation was a deadly combination!
She was so pretty-loved her in I’d climb the highest Mountain the best.
Sad stories happen like this everyday. Only those people aren't famous.
Great Lady- Great video Mr Skinner
