I'm watching Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman

This flick was a disappointment to me. Hayward's drunk scenes were so hammy. I did like the song that made her husband famous.

Sorry not to be a more penetrating critic.

....

Better or worse than The Lost Weekend?

She has a catfight with Marsha Hunt.

The poster is better than the film.

I prefer Susan of the 1940s to the Susan of the 1950s. She was softer.

For those who are not aware, Susan Hayward died of brain cancer.

Marsha is 104 years old

R6, wait till you see her in the 1960s!

R8, she was two years ago - when she died.

Oopa! Soerry Marsha!

The catfight is the highlight of the movie.

Ah.

Or should I ask my husband….

Loretta Young said she voted for Hayward for the Oscar for this (Young won that year—the money was on Rosalind Russell for the turgid “Mourning Becomes Electra”)

When I interviewed Marsha and she turned on me I should have done the catfight attack like Susan.
