Star birthday... Susan Peters
Susan Peters was born in Spokane, Washington on 3 July 1921. Susan started in Hollywood by reading with actors in their screen tests. Before long, she impressed studio executives, who began to cast her in films. In 1945 her emerging career was cut short while she was duck hunting with her husband. A rifle discharged, with the bullet lodged in her spinal cord, paralysing her from the waist down.Susan began to suffer depression and anorexia nervosa, developing kidney disease and pneumonia. Her health continued to deteriorate until her early death at age 31 on 23 October 1951.
Although not a huge star, fliXposed pays tribute to Susan Peters on what would have been her 92nd birthday with her role in 'Andy Hardy's Double Life (1942).
