A Colorized Photo of Actress Susan Peters, 1943
Even though Susan Peters’ career was not as long and prosperous as many had hoped, she had some shining moments on the silver screen. There was Dr. Gillespie’s New Assistant, The Big Shot, and Random Harvest, a film about a World War I veteran which she received an Academy Award for her role as Kitty.
Over the next nine years, she only appeared in eight other films, and in 1952, she passed away from a chronic kidney infection, which was made worse by self-starvation. She was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
