Before she achieved immortality on the long-running situation
comedy Bewitched, Agnes Moorehead had established a distinguished
career as a character actress. After her screen debut in Citizen
Kane (1941), Moorehead became one of the most familiar female faces
on the silver screen. For moviegoers of the 1940s and '50s, she was
the quintessential character actress, earning four Academy Award
nominations during a career that saw her gain the respect of her
peers in all four major entertainment media: radio, film, theater,
and television. In The Films of Agnes Moorehead, Axel Nissen looks
at the actress's sixty-three feature films between 1941 and 1973.
Each film is profiled here, with particular emphasis placed on the
films that merit closer attention: Citizen Kane, The Magnificent
Ambersons, Mrs. Parkington, Dark Passage, All That Heaven Allows,
The Left Hand of God, The Swan, Tempest, The Bat, and Hush... Hush,
Sweet Charlotte. Arranged in chronological order, the discussion of
these films highlights Moorehead's contribution to each feature. In
addition to analyzing her performances, the author discusses the
development of Moorehead's career as a whole, along with her
relationship with various studios, directors, producers, and fellow
actors. Based on extensive interviews with the actress's surviving
friends and co-workers, as well as detailed archival research into
primary sources, this book brings to light new information not just
about Moorehead's work in film, but on her life and career in
general. Though this book will certainly appeal to movie buffs, The
Films of Agnes Moorehead will also be of interest to students and
scholars of classic Hollywood films, including those interested in
women and film, gender studies, and film history.
