Aus dem Klappentext

"There are girls in Hollywood whose outer hardness conceals only an inner hardness. Miss Hayward, I would say, is not in this class. She has miscalculated too often to be accused of being calculating."--Thomas Wiseman, The Seven Deadly Sins of Hollywood. This biography of one of Hollywood's leading ladies of the 1940s and 1950s covers her childhood, early modeling career, development as an actress, and her break into the movie business. It documents her personal life during her career, including her marriages and attempted suicide, her appearance on the arm of Charlton Heston at the 1974 Academy Awards, and her illness and death the following year. It also provides an analysis of each of her fifty-some feature films, and places Hayward and her films in the context of Hollywood and motion picture history. The complete filmography gives cast and production credits.
