Title: Margaret Sullavan
Description: "In 1933, Margaret Sullavan made her film debut and was an overnight sensation. For the next three decades, she enchanted audiences and critics in any medium she chose-film, theater, television-and was regarded as one of the foremost dramatic actresses. Off screen, she epitomized the Southern Belle-beauty, hospitality and a flirtatious but chaste demeanor.

This biography covers her film career with insightful criticism from the period and details her personal life, including her marriage to Henry Fonda, her special friendship with James Stewart and her bitter rivalry with Katharine Hepburn"--
