Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star.

By Jacqueline T. Lynch

Book Overview

The first book on the career of actress Ann Blyth. Multitalented and remarkably versatile, Blyth began on radio as a child, appeared on Broadway at the age of 12 in Lillian Hellman's WATCH ON THE RHINE, and enjoyed a long and diverse career in films, theatre, television, and concerts. A sensitive dramatic actress, nominated for her breakout role as the manipulative daughter in MILDRED PIERCE (1945), she also displayed a gift for comedy and was especially endeared to fans for her expressive and exquisite lyric soprano, which was showcased in many film and stage musicals. Ms. Blyth is a treasure of Hollywood's golden age. This exploration of her career covers in detail her films, television, theatre, and radio performances from a wealth of sources and is illustrated with 281 photographs, some rarely or never before seen.
