Agnes Moorehead (1900-74) was unique among twentieth-century
American actresses in making a major career for herself in all four
entertainment media after the age of 40. As the title indicates,
Agnes Moorehead on Radio, Stage and TV focuses on Moorehead's
career in radio, on the stage, and in television. A representative
selection of 25 of her most interesting and representative
performances in these media are discussed in separate profiles
ranging in length from 1,500 to 7,500 words, with the longest
chapters devoted to Mayor of the Town, Suspense, Moorehead's
one-woman show, Bewitched and Gigi. Naturally, the book also covers
Moorehead's celebrated appearance on The Twilight Zone, both her
productions of Don Juan in Hell, and her Emmy-winning appearance on
The Wild Wild West. Many less well-known performances have never
been analyzed in detail before. These include fascinating and
entertaining portrayals on TV series such as Wagon Train,
Adventures in Paradise, Rawhide and Burke's Law. The profiles are
organized in chronological order. Thus, from The Shadow to Gigi,
the book can be read as a continuous, chronological narrative of
Moorehead's unfolding acting career through more than three
decades; or the individual chapters may be read as self-contained
accounts of individual shows and performances. Each profile
concentrates on Moorehead's contribution to the show or episode. In
addition to analyzing the nature and function of Moorehead's role
and how she performs it, the author variously discusses the place
of the performance in her career development as a whole; her
relationship with directors, producers, and/or fellow actors:
comparisons and contrasts with similar types of roles in the same
or other media; and curious, little known facts about the
production. Nissen also discusses salient events in Moorehead's
personal life at the time.
