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.
She was one of my favorite actresses. I loved her protrayal of Jane Froman was stunning. She seemed so authentic and such a beautiful soul shined thorugh!
What a truly remarkable film star Susan Hayward was...I still treasure her classic performances... She will will never be forgotten as those who contracted those horrific diseases.
I watch “I’ll Cry Tomorrow” at least once a year ; not only one of the greatest female performances on record but a really important study in alcoholism.You are with Susan every minute of the way and the positive ending is such a relief.Thanks.
I was Susan Hayward's fan from far away country. She was so beautiful, the best character star beyond compare, she actually deserved for at least 3 Academy Awards, including her role in With A Song in My Heart. I had big symphaty on her private life, God loved & bless her, finally she found happiness in the hand of Mr.Chalkley. I shall remember Susan Hayward Chalkley forever and wish her twin sons all the success in their lives.
I always loved Susan Hayward in her movies. To me, it always seemed to me her true spirit came out in those movies. I will watch an old movie with Susan Hayward in it every single time I see one to watch on cable. Some years after her death, I read her autobiography. Just as I have always believed - Susan was one of the best survivors ever to live. She had a lot riding on her shoulders because it seemed she took care of everyone. I hope to meet her one day in heaven.
Her energy captivated me. She was the kind of woman I wanted to be, bold and strong, not the demure dainty creature my mother wished for. She was one of the women who taught me I was not alone in feeling both very female and very strong. I adored her.
When Susan performed "Mame" in Las Vegas, I was the New York musical director. We rehearsed in New York. She was delightful, hard working and very thoughtful and kind. Not at all like a "Hollywood Star". Once in Las Vegas, her voice gave out due to the hot dry air. She was so depressed to leave the show. We spoke many times after that, but I never saw her again. I could hear in her voice the illness that was taking over. So very sad. She was truly one of our great Stars. She had it all. R.I.P. Susan.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories of Susan. You so often read that she was distant and somewhat unfriendly. I love reading your comments about her.
A marvelous dramatic actress, a great beauty crowned with that head of flaming red hair, Susan Hayward left her mark as a giant of the silver screen! How very sad that she should have left us so soon........but what memories have been left behind, forever preserved on film for movie lovers to enjoy!
Dear Mr. Skinner...I have just subscribed to your channel. THANK YOU for this wonderful yet heartbreaking documentary. My Mom (who grew up in Brooklyn, New York) and I adored Susan Hayward. Thanks again...your time and effort are greatly appreciated.
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
Tony S They certainly dont make gt8 actors these day.the women r full of botox fake lips n tits.actresses like rita didnt come with plastic wrapping They were natural back I'm those times
Some of my favorite memories are of watching this beautiful actress in movies like "I want to Live" and especially "Backstreets" with my mother. Susan Hayward was my mother's favorite actress and that then carried over to me. Thank you Susan Hayward for the beautiful memories. What a truly beautiful lady.
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
Thank you, thank you for this down to earth presentation of Susan Hayward's unique life which was so unfairly cut short before she was able to share her full gift of God-given talents with the world. She was old enough to be my mother, but as soon as I was old and mature enough to view and appreciate her work, she became my favorite actress for all time and I will always love her.
piscesrunner When i started investigating Susan Hayward for the video, she was just another movie star. The more i learned of her, the more i could see she was more than an actress. She wonted to be a farmers wife. That says a lot for her. Thank You very much, Jerry
Jerry Skinner Yes, Jerry, wanting to be a farmer's wife shows much about her character...a truly beautiful Human Being. Susan Hayward has always impressed me...her humble beginnings and hardships gave her strength and capacity to love deeply...That's how I will remember her...I enjoy your character videos, Jerry, the way you bring out the best in everyone. Many thanks for your comment, and for sharing these treasures with Us...Take good care and best wishes for continued success!
I still miss Susan Hayward to this day. She was a terrific actress, The movie she made that my wife and I liked a lot was "Back Street" (1962) That co-starred John Gavin & Vera Miles, it was a tear jerker. I have seen just about every movie she made, she was absolutely a beautiful woman and a great actress. God grant her peace and place in Heaven.
Jerry, just fantastic. I can hear an improvement with your narration. The audio is clearer. I really enjoy these. Thanks much for sharing! Susan was an outstanding beauty and a classic actress and I'm glad to learn what became of her.
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!
Fabulous Tribute to a "Beautiful" and Talented Actress... R.I.P. Ms Susan Hayward Chalkley ..... Well presented.... Thank You Kindly for posting......................
Thank you for this piece about Ms. Hayward. I have been going back and watching her movies and remembering her as of late, and this was great to see. I was 13 when she passed and I wept, I loved her so. I became attached to her when I would see her on the Saturday afternoon or evening movies and then I was hooked; an awestruck boy in love with a classy star whose performances made him believe that we could all endure and thrive. Also, I am not sure where you are from, but your accent is wonderful. My family is from the south, and listening to you, it was as though I was listening to my uncles telling old family stories. WONDERFUL!
I was prompted to search for a bio on Susan Hayward today because I just watched her in the move "With a song in my heart" for which she won a Golden Globe. I always remember her in very serious and emotional and rather harrowing roles so was wonderfully surprised at how good she was portraying a singer. Although it must be said that Jane Froman, on who's story the film is based, had a very hard life, which Susan Hayward portrayed beautifully. I hadn't realized she had died so young. What a dreadful shame. Thank you for a beautifully and sensitively presented documentary.
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.
A wonderful tribute to an amazing, talented and very beautiful woman and actress. The 1st time I ever saw Susan Hayward is when I was 13yrs old and saw her in I'll Cry Tomorrow. Astonishing peformance she gave in that movie.
She should have won the Oscar for that role+everyone knew it--but because of bad publicity and a possible suicide attempt, she didn't win it. In case you don't know, there were many boos in the Oscar audience that night when she did not win.
Outstanding narration of this actresses deeds, heartaches and accomplishments. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, she is well loved and deserves all the accolades that can be given to her. Once again outstanding job Mr. Skinner 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Hi, Jerry. Susan Hayward was such a lovely actress, just like Rita Hayworth. Such a wonderful tribute. You definitely have the magic touch with your info. Have a good one, Jerry.
I thought Susan was one of the most talented and beautiful women in Hollywood., It makes me sad that she died so young. I try to watch any movie she ever made. May she rest in peace. I loved you Susan. You were a bright and shining star to me
Yes Maria, it was Susan Hayward. She had a home in Georgia out in the country. Not Atlanta. She died from a tumor or cancer on the brain. She also had a limp which I watched for in movies but never did see it. It was something that happened either as a child or she was born with one leg shorter than the other. If you like her, go to TH-cam and type in her name and full length movies. Some of her movies are amazing and very entertaining
Hi, Brenda. Susan broke her hip at the age of six, but was never given medical intervention. It took her quite a while to recuperate, albeit with one leg shorter than the other and a limp. I think she had special shoes made to disguise the limp.
Thank you. I also read about that but failed to put in the comment. Looks like you have had something done to your eye. I sure hope you get better real soon.
Jerry states in the video that she was hit by a car as a child and had a limp after medical intervention, but it got less and less as the years progressed.
This was fascinating...and you have such a great voice. Very easy to listen to. Great you are keeping the memory of these great artists alive. Thank you x
Wonderfully done. This arresting beauty really could act. When she was in a scene, everyone else faded away. She was the best thing about "The Valley of the Dolls," which she made just after her husband's death. Thanks for sharing.
What a talented actress! My parents took me to see “With a Song in my Heart”, the movie about the singer, Jane Froman. Thank you for your research and excellent presentation!
Jerry Skinner, I love your video style, your voice and how you drive your car to locations for your in-depth documentaries. Keep up your great work documenting history that deserves to be recorded for future generations!!! Thanks for all your hard work!! 😊👍
She was my all time favorite star, I had the pleasure of meeting her in Fla. She was so beautiful and so sweet It was one of the biggest thrills of my young life. RIP Susan, you were a great star in every sense of the word.
"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
How 😢 She was one of my favorite actresses, beautiful and talented! I have a few of her movies and I love every one ❤️ R.I.P. Susan and thank you for all the great performances that brought me joy🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
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!
robert glenn ....yes, he certainly did well with this one and I'm stunned by the names he mentioned who all fell to Ca after being exposed to that site, it is appalling how this Gov has always deceived its very people! I'm sorry I chose to listen to this documentary just minutes before going to sleep.....it has been a disturbing story indeed ! Susan Hayward was my first favorite actress at age 10 yrs as my Mother would allow me to stay up for the late movie on Friday nights and as most little girls do, I like my Mother thought Susan was the best actress ever.....this has been a tragic loss.....Miss Hayward and all those mentioned..
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
Ms. Susan Hayward was definitely in the top 1%. Every time I saw her, I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. There hasn't been an actor since who compared imo.
Well done Jerry, I love that you take the time to get photos of the era and the stars, many seem to be private in nature, I do not know how you come across some of this stuff!? Excellent commentary and pace, you keep the audience interested throughout. Great Job Rich
SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,UNTOUCHABLE....AS A HUMÀN BEING...SHE WAS SO BREATH TAKING TO WATCH.....MISS HER..SAW EVERY MOVIE SHE EVER MADE...LUV.... THANX JERRY SKINNER FOR EVERYTHING YOU BRING TO US.....I SO OFTEN GET TEARS....
Thanks again Mr Skinner another great video! Susan Hayward was a great actress. I loved her in I'll Cry Tomorrow and I want to Live! she was made for these parts. Both films had difficult subject matter and she played the parts brilliantly.Keep up the good work Jerry
She Made a lot of movies(most of which I saw,and greatly enjoyed.)She was a Very "LOVELY and TALENTED LADY".She was indeed one of the great Star's of the "Classic" Period of the time.Her lovelieness will always be missed on the "BIG-SCREEN !!!" Thanks for posting !!! July 20,2015
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Byron Enzo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
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.....
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.
I remember as a child the big fuss my parents made about I Want To Live and Ms. Hayward, as native Georgians my parents were thrilled that she lived so close. I never saw a Susan Haywood film that I didn't like, RIP
I grew up in Southern California in the 60's, and watched a lot of old movies in black and white. Susan Hayward was always such a treat. Her and Olivia de Havilland were a young child's dream. Susan moves those hips - I'm impressed with how she added her body language to her acting. She just takes over the screen.
Susan Hayward has been my favorite actress my whole life since a child and now 62 yo still an admirer! I would love to meet her adult children! Great overview!
I remember watching of her when I was a kid. I was so impressed by her beauty and fiery spirit in her acting. I thought this lady is something else....and she was.
I loved Susan Hayward, I thought she was very beautiful and her spitfire personality really shown through in her movies. She was special and one of my favorite actresses, I hate she suffered so many things in her lifetime, but she won’t have to suffer anymore. 🥰
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
Excellent. Amazingly, I came upon this, quite by chance, on the very day that I had spoken to students about "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and Susan Hayward's brilliant performance as the heroine in the movie based on Lilian Roth's best selling novel. I was deeply touched by Susan's deep faith in Christ, her devotion to Mary and her courage when she was terminally and very painfully ill. But I was appalled by the U.S. Government's complete negligence and lack of accountability. One might have expected this of an over-populated country ridden with confusion. But the U.S.? This is informative, moving and a great eye opener. Many thanks for enriching us with this. And please upload many more!
Thank you for doing this, Mr. Skinner. My mother resembled Susan Hayward, so I was always a fan of hers. Your presentation was delightful to listen to. I never knew about the movie The Conqueror. What eventually happened to all that trucked in sand, I wonder.
Susan Hayward has been a favorite of mine for a long long time. I loved her in "With a Song in my Heart ," "Garden of Evil" and " Back Street". She was a Beautiful Lady. I still watch her movies at 77 years old.
Etta Hughes, Backstreet was my all-time favorite movie of hers. They don’t play it much but I try to view it every time it’s shown. John Gavin was even more handsome than Rock Hudson and they were perfect in this movie
Thank you Jerry. I have always loved and missed Susan Hayward. There could never be another like her. You presented a number facts that I had never known before. Thanks again.
Muchas gracias Sr.Skynner por este bonito video sobre Miss Hayworth. Que gran actriz!!! Siempre recordaré su personaje en "Quiero vivir" por el que obtuvo un Oscar.Mujer muy guapa y elegante, pero sobre todo, una fabulosa actriz.Descansa en paz Susan!
I love to watch Susan Hayward’s films. Her feminine costumes and har styles are timeless. She was a beautiful creature and deserved the happiness she had with F Eaton Chalkley.
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.

Jerry, thank you for this fine synopsis of Susan Hayward. She was one of my very favorite actresses. You did a lovely job here.
I met Susan Hayward when I was nineteen, and found her to be one of the sweetest, unassuming people ever. She was lovely, one of my fondest memories
She was one of my favorite actresses. I loved her protrayal of Jane Froman was stunning. She seemed so authentic and such a beautiful soul shined thorugh!
What a truly remarkable film star Susan Hayward was...I still treasure her classic performances... She will will never be forgotten as those who contracted those horrific diseases.
+TONY MANSFIELD Thank you very much Tony. Jerry
I watch “I’ll Cry Tomorrow” at least once a year ; not only one of the greatest female performances on record but a really
important study in alcoholism.You are with Susan every minute of the way and the positive ending is such a relief.Thanks.
I was Susan Hayward's fan from far away country.
She was so beautiful, the best character star beyond compare, she actually deserved for at least 3 Academy Awards, including her role in With A Song in My Heart. I had big symphaty on her private life, God loved & bless her, finally she found happiness in the hand of Mr.Chalkley.
I shall remember Susan Hayward Chalkley forever and wish her twin sons all the success in their lives.

Amen brother. They don't make ladies like her, Donna Reed, and Vera Miles anymore!
Some of my favorite memories are of watching this beautiful actress in movies like "I want to Live" and especially "Backstreets" with my mother. Susan Hayward was my mother's favorite actress and that then carried over to me. Thank you Susan Hayward for the beautiful memories. What a truly beautiful lady.
Sandy Burleson I have the same memories. My mother and I both loved her.
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
Thank you much Kat. Jerry

Fabulous Tribute to a "Beautiful" and Talented Actress... R.I.P. Ms Susan Hayward Chalkley ..... Well presented.... Thank You Kindly for posting......................
Loved Susan Hayward. One of my all time favorite actresses. Such a tragic ending.
Thank you for this piece about Ms. Hayward. I have been going back and watching her movies and remembering her as of late, and this was great to see. I was 13 when she passed and I wept, I loved her so. I became attached to her when I would see her on the Saturday afternoon or evening movies and then I was hooked; an awestruck boy in love with a classy star whose performances made him believe that we could all endure and thrive.

Anything Susan played in was brilliant and one of the most beautiful women in the world.
She was absolutely the brightest star in the sky....I will never forget her great movies...there will never be any one to take her place .....
Hm, I could think of hundreds of women as beautiful, because ALL WOMEN are beautiful.
was michelle obama born a male
She should have won the Oscar for that role+everyone knew it--but because of bad publicity and a possible suicide attempt, she didn't win it. In case you don't know, there were many boos in the Oscar audience that night when she did not win.
Outstanding narration of this actresses deeds, heartaches and accomplishments. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, she is well loved and deserves all the accolades that can be given to her. Once again outstanding job Mr. Skinner 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing this! Susan Hayward was such a beautiful lady. So sad about the radiation exposure and cancers.
Hi, Jerry. Susan Hayward was such a lovely actress, just like Rita Hayworth. Such a wonderful tribute. You definitely have the magic touch with your info. Have a good one, Jerry.
Thank you Byron and you are right about Susan being lovely. Jerry

Thank you Chris. You keeping everything in the U.K. good? Jerry
This gentleman certainly puts together splendid documentaries.
+robert glenn This gentleman thanks you Robert. Jerry
Hi your documentaries are the best, thank you so much for making them ...regards Janet
robert glenn ....yes, he certainly did well with this one and I'm stunned by the names he mentioned who all fell to Ca after being exposed to that site, it is appalling how this Gov has always deceived its very people! I'm sorry I chose to listen to this documentary just minutes before going to sleep.....it has been a disturbing story indeed ! Susan Hayward was my first favorite actress at age 10 yrs as my Mother would allow me to stay up for the late movie on Friday nights and as most little girls do, I like my Mother thought Susan was the best actress ever.....this has been a tragic loss.....Miss Hayward and all those mentioned..

Thanks Jerry
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
Thank you Suzy, you are very kind. Jerry
Ms. Susan Hayward was definitely in the top 1%. Every time I saw her, I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. There hasn't been an actor since who compared imo.
Susan Hayward always was my favorite actress.....bar none !!! and she was Beautiful, too !!!!
Out of stupidity or intent. If an atomic bomb was designed for mass destruction then it's testing effects in the desert should have been expected.
Good, bad, happy or sad, once again you provide much detail& a fuller picture of "stars" so many of us "old folks" grew up watching. Thanks!
Well done Jerry, I love that you take the time to get photos of the era and the stars, many seem to be private in nature, I do not know how you come across some of this stuff!? Excellent commentary and pace, you keep the audience interested throughout.
Great Job
Rich
+MrMoonpie001 Thank you Rich for watching them. Jerry

After watching this documentary about her, it affirms my admiration for this incredibly strong woman.
Her breast were so perky to
Thanks again Mr Skinner another great video! Susan Hayward was a great actress. I loved her in I'll Cry Tomorrow and I want to Live! she was made for these parts. Both films had difficult subject matter and she played the parts brilliantly.Keep up the good work Jerry
+ef johnson Thank you for watching!
Great biographies...ALWAYS! Thank you for posting! :)
Susan Hayward was one of my favorite movie stars! I love her movie "I want to live"! To me, there's no one else who can take her place!
She Made a lot of movies(most of which I saw,and greatly enjoyed.)She was a Very "LOVELY and TALENTED LADY".She was indeed one of the great Star's of the "Classic" Period of the time.Her lovelieness will always be missed on the "BIG-SCREEN !!!" Thanks for posting !!! July 20,2015
I always loved her. Always, great documentaries.
Besides her beauty, Susan had an unforgettable speaking voice .
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Bruno Eugene Instablaster =)
@Byron Enzo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Byron Enzo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Bruno Eugene No problem =)
She was the most beautiful actress of that era, I'll always love her. So thrilled to find this on TH-cam. Thank you
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.....
As a child she was my favorite actress. I loved watching her movies.
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.
I always had an admiration for Susan. Now I know that she was truly a wonderful woman indeed.
Another beautiful tribute to a wonderful actress. Believe or not, The Conquerer was the one movie I never saw. RIP Ms. Heyward (Chaulkly).
I remember as a child the big fuss my parents made about I Want To Live and Ms. Hayward, as native Georgians my parents were thrilled that she lived so close. I never saw a Susan Haywood film that I didn't like, RIP
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to one of my favorite people.
I grew up in Southern California in the 60's, and watched a lot of old movies in black and white. Susan Hayward was always such a treat. Her and Olivia de Havilland were a young child's dream. Susan moves those hips - I'm impressed with how she added her body language to her acting. She just takes over the screen.
You R the Best of all men on this earth...I love Everything about your grace style and MANLY NESS

Bad grammar She and Olivia not her!
Susan Hayward has been my favorite actress my whole life since a child and now 62 yo still an admirer! I would love to meet her adult children! Great overview!
I remember watching of her when I was a kid. I was so impressed by her beauty and fiery spirit in her acting. I thought this lady is something else....and she was.
You have a very listenable, sincere, down-home voice which makes this series very enjoyable and one of my favorites. Thank you.
I loved Susan Hayward, I thought she was very beautiful and her spitfire personality really shown through in her movies. She was special and one of my favorite actresses, I hate she suffered so many things in her lifetime, but she won’t have to suffer anymore. 🥰
i enjoy your testimonials to the stars and all the work you do informing us of these historic events , Thanks man ,
Tony Genovese Tony, thank you for taking the time to watch. Jerry
Drop dead beautiful, talented smart, a wonderful star. Blue skies forever Susan Hayward.
Always loved her in everything she did ! I hate that she and the other actors mentioned died in such a painful way !
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
Thank you so much Jerry. Well done!!!
SHE WAS ONE OF THE BEST ACTRESSES....A BEAUTY - LEGENDARY....SO SAD ABOUT ALL THE CANCER DEATHS....TKS FOR THIS VIDEO ABOUT HER LIFE......!!!
Excellent. Amazingly, I came upon this, quite by chance, on the very day that I had spoken to students about "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and Susan Hayward's brilliant performance as the heroine in the movie based on Lilian Roth's best selling novel.
I was deeply touched by Susan's deep faith in Christ, her devotion to Mary and her courage when she was terminally and very painfully ill.
But I was appalled by the U.S. Government's complete negligence and lack of accountability. One might have expected this of an over-populated country ridden with confusion. But the U.S.?
This is informative, moving and a great eye opener. Many thanks for enriching us with this. And please upload many more!

Thank you for doing this, Mr. Skinner. My mother resembled Susan Hayward, so I was always a fan of hers. Your presentation was delightful to listen to. I never knew about the movie The Conqueror. What eventually happened to all that trucked in sand, I wonder.
You do a fine job with these memories Jerry. I truly enjoy them.
+Jimmy King Thank you!
I loved the video an SusN H.Gone too soon - my favorite acctress and she was stunningly beautiful.🤗
Jimmy King nice southern calm voice!
One of your very best. This one's loaded with enough surprises to make it a fascinating journey from start to finish. Nice work.
Thank you Rose. Jerry
Thank you so much for this! I never knew she was such a brave woman.
Morgan Scorpion Morgan it does make a person look at their movies different when you know what they are going through at the time. Thanks, Jerry
I love all of her movies, especially Backstreet. I always watch movie-thons of her movies
Susan Hayward has been a favorite of mine for a long long time. I loved her in "With a Song in my Heart ," "Garden of Evil" and " Back Street". She was a Beautiful Lady. I still watch her movies at 77 years old.
Etta Hughes crewq
That was one of my favorites too.
LOVE Backstreet and I bawled my eyes out watching her loving John Gavin so much. He was GORGEOUS. PERFECT 2 for that movie. LOVE Susan.
Etta Hughes, Backstreet was my all-time favorite movie of hers. They don’t play it much but I try to view it every time it’s shown. John Gavin was even more handsome than Rock Hudson and they were perfect in this movie
Thank you Jerry. I have always loved and missed Susan Hayward. There could never be another like her. You presented a number facts that I had never known before. Thanks again.
+wizardxyz Thank you for watching. Jerry
She was a great actress RIP Susan
Muchas gracias Sr.Skynner por este bonito video sobre Miss Hayworth. Que gran actriz!!! Siempre recordaré su personaje en "Quiero vivir" por el que obtuvo un Oscar.Mujer muy guapa y elegante, pero sobre todo, una fabulosa actriz.Descansa en paz Susan!
Well researched and a good actress of her day. thanks
I love listening to your voice and learning so much at the same time! Thank you.
What an interesting (and sad) video--very informative. Thank you for this, Jerry Skinner!
Thank you for the most informative piece on Susan Hayward. She was a splendid actress, I remember her in "Soldier of Fortune" with Clark Gable.

I love your research, topic selections and presentation style of your biographical stories and projects.
I love to watch Susan Hayward’s films. Her feminine costumes and har styles are timeless. She was a beautiful creature and deserved the happiness she had with F Eaton Chalkley.
