The tragedy of a man who got what he wanted. He stood on a box and reached for the stars. And he got them. He was too short to be a leading man, to "pretty" to be a rugged hero...yet he played both for millions. The modern studio star system was built around him. His face sold more movie magazines and his name sold more tickets that any other actor's before or since. He became the only thing he had ever really wanted to be: a movie star.

Susan Hayward: Portrait of a Survivor

For over three decades, in such films as I'll Cry Tomorrow and I Want To Live!, she dazzled audiences with her portrayal of tragic, stormy women. Her own life was even more dramatic - overcoming poverty and a childhood accident that left her handicapped, winning the Oscar she deserved after four agonizing failures, finally finding love after the most heartbreaking divorce in Hollywood history. Because Susan Hayward never stopped fighting for happiness in her own life, she portrayed a woman's suffering as no other star before or since. Here is her story by Hollywood's foremost biographer, with 16 pages of photographs from her life and career.
