Susanna Foster Facts
After seeing Foster in The Great Victor Herbert (1939), William Randolph Hearst flew her to his 67,000-acre estate for a private recital for him and his companion Marion Davies.

Signed by MGM, she was handed the lead in National Velvet (1944), which she declined because there "wasn't any singing in it". This led to MGM's decision to drop her. The role went to young Elizabeth Taylor who became a star as a result.

Never met one of her singing idols, Nelson Eddy, the whole time she was at MGM, then finally got to work with him in Phantom of the Opera (1943). Later Eddy, a sculptor, did an original bust of Susanna. He also tried to persuade her to do a concert tour with him after "Phantom", but she was still young, developed cold feet and politely declined.
