description: Notorious, generous, tragic and cruel. That was Susan Hayward, the flamboyant and provocative star who won fame for her extraordinary performances in such classics as "I'll Cry Tomorrow" and "I Want to Live!". In "Red", Robert LaGuardia and Gene Arceri reveal the unexpurgated story of the determined yet vulnerable woman behind the fire-and-ice image. Based on ten years of exhaustive research and personal interviews with intimate sources including Hayward's older sister and close family friends - "Red" uncovers the dramatic details of Hayward's rise to stardom, her feverish romances, and the bitter sibling rivalry that destroyed her relationship with her family, and profoundly affected her life and career. From her earliest childhood struggles to her difficult marriages and attempted suicide, to her will to live and her confrontation with death, "Red" presents Susan Hayward as never before - as the passionate firebrand whose courage and dignity made her a real-life heroine and a star.
