Quotes:
  • My life is fair game for anybody. I spent an unhappy penniless childhood in Brooklyn. I had to slug my way up in a town called Hollywood where people love to trample you to death. I don't relax because I don't know how. I don't want to know how. Life is too short to relax.
  • I never thought of myself as a movie star. I'm just a working girl. A working girl who worked her way to the top -- and never fell off.
  • I learned at a very early age that life is a battle. My family was poor, my neighborhood was poor. The only way that I could get away from the awfulness of life, at that time, was at the movies. There I decided that my big aim was to make money. And it was there that I became a very determined woman.
  • When you're dead, you're dead. No one is going to remember me when I'm dead. Oh maybe a few friends will remember me affectionately. Being remembered isn't the most important thing anyhow. It's what you do when you are here that's important.

Susan Hayward Trivia
  • Interred at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Carrollton, Georgia, USA.
  • Was diagnosed with brain cancer, most likely the result of being exposed to dangerous radioactive toxins on location in Utah while making The Conqueror (1956). All the leads ('John Wayne' , Agnes Moorehead, John Hoyt, Hayward) and most of the rest of the cast and the director ('Dick Powell' ) died of cancer. The case is still a scandal.
  • Her first marriage to actor Jess Barker was a stormy one and ended with a bitter custody battle of her twin sons and a suicide attempt by Susan. Her second to rancher Eaton Chalkley was a long and happy one until he died suddenly of hepatitis nine years later. She left Hollywood for five years in deep mourning, returning in 1971.
  • Her footprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre are the only ones set in gold dust.
  • She portrayed an alcoholic in three films, (_Smash Up: The Story of a Woman (1947)_ , My Foolish Heart (1949), and I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955)) and was nominated for an Oscar for each performance.
