The Golden Age of Hollywood

Teresa Wright

Teresa Wright starred in three of the most well known films of the 40s – "Shadow of Doubt", "Mrs Miniver" and "The Best years of our Lives". As she entered her 30s, Wright, always attractive was offered parts of rather plain women in less interesting films - with notable exceptions such as The Men. She was Oscar-nominated in her first three films. In interviews, Ms. Wright gave the impression of being demure. In fact, she fought fiercely with Goldwyn about her contracts, stipulating outright that she could refuse to participate in cheesecake photos and leaks to the press about her romances. What happened to this fine actress?

Good question! She was wonderful. I just saw her a couple of days ago in Casanova Brown, and she was adorable as a young mother trying to reunite with her ex-husband.
