Susan Hayward (June 30, 1917 – March 14, 1975) was an American actress.〔Obituary ''Variety'', March 19, 1975, page 87.〕 After working as a fashion model in New York, Hayward traveled to Hollywood in 1937. She secured a film contract, and played several small supporting roles over the next few years. By the late 1940s, the quality of her film roles had improved, and she achieved recognition for her dramatic abilities with the first of five Academy Award nominations for Best Actress for her performance as an alcoholic in ''Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman'' (1947). Her career continued successfully through the 1950s and she received subsequent nominations for ''My Foolish Heart'' (1949), ''With a Song in My Heart'' (1952) and ''I'll Cry Tomorrow'' (1955). She finally won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of death row inmate Barbara Graham in ''I Want to Live!'' (1958). After Hayward's second marriage and subsequent move to Georgia, her film appearances became infrequent, although she continued acting in film and television until 1972. She died in 1975 of brain cancer. ==Early life== Hayward was born Edythe Marrenner in Brooklyn, New York City, the youngest of three children born to Ellen (née Pearson) and Walter Marrenner. Her paternal grandmother was an actress, Kate Harrigan, from County Cork, Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brooklyn Eagle (June 30, 2010) )〕 Her mother was of Swedish descent. She had an older sister Florence (born May 1910) and an older brother Walter, Jr. (born December 1911). Hayward was educated at Public School 181, and later attended The Girls' Commercial High School (later renamed Prospect Heights High School). During her high school years, she acted in various school plays and was named "Most Dramatic" by her class. She graduated in June 1935.〔Holston 2009, p. 7〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Susan Hayward」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
