What sad ending for such a talented female, it seems to me her parents didn't show her what she needed the most love & support especially at a young age.

[@FactsVerse]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Which of Margaret's films appealed to you the most?

[@tj921able]

Her story seems so tragic and wouldn't be so much today. Many back then were not accepting of the disabled. Hopefully she has the peace now she couldn't seem to find in her life.

[@FactsVerse]

Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

Very well-done, Tim! It's great that you spotlighted Margaret Sullavan.

Fascinating post. Maggie Sullavan has been one of my favourite 30s actresses for years from the moment I saw her in Only Yesterday and Back Street (41). Why else would I be here to comment on a rather forgotten star...? She was a marvelously sympathetic actress could indeed make you cry with her. I have read in bios how "difficult" and "demanding" she could be with directors and co-workers. But I was a annoyed to hear that she denied and hid her affliction from Others. I once worked with someone who was in denial of her partial hearing loss in the left ear and believe me, it was maddening to later discover that this was cause of the big problem between us, why we didnt get along, why I found my co-worker so erratic and neurotic. She couldnt always Hear me ! I remember now all the petty contrivances to make sure I was on her Right Side and all the little Notes to communicate the simplest thing. Complicating matters was the fact that I have very low speaking voice, rich in Tone and Annunciation but not great Volume. My co-worker pulled a lot of passive aggressive junk, eventually contriving to get me fired as a "poor team-player" and "communicator". I have never forgiven her to this day for all that scheming and manipulation. Despite my great admiration for Sullavan as actor, I bet she was Holy terror to be around !

Always fascinated with early 1930's pre-code movies, a friend told me about a man in Chicago who had a huge collection of early movies. He transferred them to VHS tapes (this was in the early 1990s) and sold them. The first one I bought was a copy of Margaret Sullavan's first film "Only Yesterday" made in 1933. What a story! Loved it so much, I recently had it put on a dvd. Beautiful film and Margaret Sullavan was great in it. I'm so glad I still have this film. As far as I know, it has never been available to purchase. Thank you for your interesting coverage of this great actress.

[@leesashriber5097]

What a terribly sad life. I'm not very familiar with her and you did an awesome job showing me information. How sad she killed herself and her two children followed in her shadow. 🕊️🙏❤️

[@rebeccalee1065]

Never Heard Of Her. So Sad Her Life, Along With Her Children, Had To End The Way It Did.

[@FactsVerse]

We're happy to know that you got the chance to know Margaret Sullavan. Who is your all-time favorite actress?

[@henrygonzalez8793]

Years ago her daughter Brooke wrote a very well received book about the Hayward family. The book is titled “Haywire” and includes a lot of interesting tales about the Fondas as well. It’s a beautifully written, but ultimately tragic memoir of a wealthy, but unhappy family.

[@FactsVerse]

Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this information about Margaret's daughter. We'll check it 👍

[@crystalship9900]

Excellent book! I’ve read it more than once through the years. Very tragic family, indeed.

[@henrygonzalez8793]

@@FactsVerse Thanks for your reply - I’m a long-time movie fan & often comment on various channels but don’t often get such a nice response. Thanks again !

[@caraqueno]

@@FactsVerse It was turned into a well-received tv film, "Haywire", with Jason Robards as Leland Hayward and Lee Remick as Margaret Sullavan.

[@lorireed5291]

I am an avid reader. I'm going to have to check on the book you recommended 👌

[@dianekennedy7086]

I never really knew much about Margaret Sullavan, other than she was Henry Fonda's first wife. However, the clips you showed in this video have spurred my interest in watching some of her films.

[@FactsVerse]

We're very happy to know that you learned something new about Margaret Sullivan. Please let us know which film you think she shined in ❤

[@caraqueno]

Check out her roles in "The Shining Hour" (1938), in which she co-stars with Joan Crawford and "Sing No Sad Songs for Me" (1950), a truly wonderful performance from her.

[@sportshistorybuff319]

It's funny hearing that story about Sullavan being the only person working at the studio that owner Louie B. Mayer, could not bully/intimidate. Her mental instability made her give Mayer the creeps. Everyone else Mayer could terrify in a one to one meeting behind closed doors, but Sullavan always had him on edge when they were in the same room. Even more sad that 2 of Sullavan's 3 kids also ended their lives. The sports bar I used to hang out at had a framed copy of a newspaper front page with the headline mentioning one of her daughter's had killed herself, less than a year after her own death. Actress Clara Blandick had a similar tragic ending, taking her life when she was losing her eyesight and crippled by arthritis.

Adorable Margaret Sullavan.

I’m a massive maggie fan!! i must say this video is well researched- apart from the fact her death was not.. particularly proven to be a suicide, it’s not really known. her story always makes me so sad, she deserved so much better :( this quote by a journalist always gets me: “The thunderous applause of a delighted audience-was it only a dim murmur over the years to Margaret Sullavan?”

That is so sad, and to have no one to help support her Like her parents and then her kids should have

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

Did I hear right? You said something about Henry Fonda being the only one of her husbands who amounted to anything? William Wyler and Leland Hayward were quite successful in the entertainment field.

[@rhondabitler2461]

He said Fonda wasn't the only one of her husband's to amount to anything.

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

OK. I heard it wrong. Apologies to the poster.

[@rhondabitler2461]

@@sharonpolikoff7282 It wasn't very clear sounding. I can see how you mistook what was said.

Why do parents have to act like that. Seem like she wanted nothing more but to be loved.

[@tsxtina2919]

Wish y’all would have touched on the abuse she and her husband Leland Hayward were abusive parents.
