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.
