The Green Girl

I just finished watching this film. It's amazing!

And that's not just because of how it tell's Susan Oliver's story (in great detail with love, respect, and honesty) but how it shows us how Hollywood worked during that time period... and the effect this had on people, especially someone who was her own person first and not willing to play by the rules every step of the way.

Susan Oliver left a large body of work... only some of which I've seen. I own the "Route 66" series DVDs, so I think I'll start with her multiple appearances there. As this film shows, she could play many different types of characters. I look forward to seeing many more of those performances.

This film made me both want to see her at work more and wish she had lived to benefit from the chance to meet her fans today. She's be a huge hit at the celebrity autograph shows! Susan Oliver was only 58 when she died... truly gone too soon.
