Susan Hayward is a damn legend! Not only is she one of the finest actors Hollywood has ever seen, she was a stunningly beautiful woman. The films mentioned here are, of course, fantastic. But two of her movies not mentioned here: Tulsa and Woman Obsessed, are two of my favorite Susan Hayward movies. ❤ I'll take Classic Hollywood over anything put out these days.

[@carolkelly8848]

Yes I loved Tulsa and Woman Obsessed also. Another one was Tap Roots, she was great in that also.

[@TheDarkDresser]

Never heard of those movies; will have to find them.

[@MsJourneyfan]

@@TheDarkDresser These two movies are so underrated, yet top notch performances by all. I think they're both here on KZbin. Hope you find them.

[@TheDarkDresser]

@@MsJourneyfan Thank you for the recommendations. I saw the movie full "Tulsa" on KZbin over the weekend, and I'm sorry to say that the excitement I had the first 17 minutes faded as the movie went along. I expected drama and revenge, but the story went in a different direction; the singing and comedic scenes just seemed out of place. Also, the fire scene at the end was dramatic, but not believable. Susan, as usual, did a fine job with her character. I'll watch the second move.

[@MsJourneyfan]

@@TheDarkDresser I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Tulsa more. I guess I'm sentimental about it because it's a Susan Hayward movie, and I adore Chill Wills. I hope you enjoy Woman Obsessed

How very strange that you would not even mention one of Susan's iconic roles which made her especially popular with the younger set of the day in 'Valley of the Dolls." In that movie she even replaced legend star Judy Garland.

The Presdents Lady, about Andrew Jackson and Rachel. Black &White Movie with Charleston Heston; I think. Tons of great Movies, she did. I have quite a few of her DVDs.
