Since her film debut in 1930, Maureen O'Sullivan has consistently
proven herself to be one of the most talented and versatile
performers in the entertainment media. Her career has spanned 60
years, over which time she has appeared on stage and screen, on
television and radio, and has even been a published author of a few
short stories. This bio-bibliography explores every facet of
O'Sullivan's distinguished career and illustrates the surprising
depth and range that she exhibited and still continues to display
in her fascinating career. Billips traces the entirety of the
actress's professional life, from her film career at Fox in Song O'
My Heart in 1930, including her six other films for the Fox studio,
to her piece for RKO and Patrician/UA, to her portrayal of Jane in
the Tarzan films of the early 1930s to her most recent appearance
in 1987's Stranded, revealing an enormous talent. O'Sullivan's
contributions to the performing arts have yet to be fully
appreciated. Through separate chapters, focusing on different
aspects of O'Sullivan's life, the book provides an impressive
picture of the actress's multifaceted career. The biographical
section primarily discusses her films and the characters she
portrayed, while a career chronology offers an overview of her
entire professional life, with credits in the various media serving
to illustrate her constant activities. Four separate chapters
chronicle O'Sullivan's film, radio, television, and stage
appearances, with full cast and credits included for each entry,
and cross references incorporated to lead the reader to other
pertinent material in the book. A bibliographic section follows
with film reviews, theater reviews, books and articles, and fan
magazine stories each given their own chapters. An appendix
reproduces in their entirety two short stories published by Maureen
O'Sullivan in the Ladies' Home Journal, and an index concludes the
work. This important reference tool will be a welcome resource for
film fans and collectors and for courses in film history. It will
also be a valuable addition to public, college, and university
libraries.
