"Susan Hayward" was an American actress.

After working as a fashion model in New York, Hayward traveled to Hollywood in 1937. She secured a film contract, and played several small supporting roles over the next few years.

By the late 1940s, the quality of her film roles had improved, and she achieved recognition for her dramatic abilities with the first of five Academy Award nominations for Best Actress for her performance as an alcoholic in Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman (1947). Her career continued successfully through the 1950s and she received subsequent nominations for My Foolish Heart (film)/My Foolish Heart (1949), With a Song in My Heart (film)/With a Song in My Heart (1952) and I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955). She finally won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of death row inmate Barbara Graham in I Want to Live! (1958).

After Hayward's second marriage and subsequent move to Georgia (U.S. state)/Georgia, her film appearances became infrequent, although she continued acting in film and television until 1972. She died in 1975 of brain cancer.

I'm not going to say I'm sold on a five-day fair, and I'm not sure we can do it.

I don't know if that's entertainment or people with gas issues or what it would be, but I'm not concerned about it at this point.

It's an experiment year for us too. We had a young rock band last night, more of a kid's or college age and the night before that we had Loggins and Messina , and it was a little older group. So this is a trial for us. We'll see if people enjoy it, if they come, if they don't we won't do it again.

We had a very successful fair. We were thrilled.

I learned at a very early age that life is a battle. My family was poor, my neighborhood was poor.

[Without financial help,] we put out fires, ... That's not any way to maintain a piece of property. Right now it is just catch-up for us.

Here we have this beautiful property. It is a state property. We should be very, very proud of it, and we should be taking care of it.

This is an opportunity for the community of South Dakota to take part in planning the future of the State Fair and this beautiful property. I truly hope to see people from across the state take part in this open meeting.
