Rochelle Hudson's career as an actress was planned from the start
by her ambitious stage mother, who gave birth to her in 1916. Given
rigorous dance and musical training as a child, Hudson won her
first film contract at the age of fourteen. A WAMPAS Baby Star in
1931, she co-starred with actors such as W.C. Fields, Henry Fonda,
Claudette Colbert, Will Rogers and Fredric March in classic films
like Imitation of Life (1934) and Les Miserables (1935). But within
a few years, she was stuck in B movies and frustrated. Stepping
away from Hollywood, Hudson worked as a realtor and a rancher, and
even did wartime espionage work for the Navy. She continued acting
occasionally, in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), the TV sitcom That's
My Boy (1954-55), and the campy horror film Strait-Jacket (1964). A
timeless beauty, she was married (and divorced) four times before
her untimely death in 1972 at age 55. Drawing on personal papers,
interviews with family and friends and genealogical research, this
first account of Rochelle Hudson's life and work depicts a talented
and outspoken woman who built a successful career on her own terms.
The annotated filmography provides synopses, critical commentary
and reviews for nearly 60 feature films.
