I probably never would have known who Jane Froman was had Susan not made "With A Song In My Heart". There are a few videotaped kinescopes on Youtube of "The Jane Froman Show" (created by Irving Mansfield, Mr. Jackie Susann) but the poster of these won't allow them to be embedded. To survive a plane crash, have your leg destroyed and keep on keepin' on, well, she was quite a dame.
Funny, my husband and I just watched "With a song in my heart" last weekend on DVD.
ReplyDeleteHave to say it's one of my least favorite Hayward movies. I much prefer her drunk. Heavily drinking and falling down drunk...
Susan Hayward and a musical - two of my least favorite things. I know, I'm gay so I should be gaga for both, butr I'm not.
ReplyDeleteNice though, that you remember Froman. A real trooper.
yes, i inherited the susan hayward gene, what can i say? and i too love her when she's bawdy, boozy and standing that way she did....her legs trying to bust out of her straight skirt and her arms, up like she's about to wrestle. i loved her.
