With her striking looks, the raven-haired, dark eyed Ruth Roman had
an air of sophistication that made her seem sexy yet wholesome. She
had to strive harder than most to establish herself as a leading
actress in Hollywood during its glory years and finally broke
through in 1949 with her role in Champion. As one of the last
Warner Bros. contract players, she appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's
classic Strangers on a Train. Seen at her best in strong parts,
such as the ambitious Ronda Castle in Anthony Mann's The Far
Country or as a modern-day Lady Macbeth, she enjoyed a varied
career as a freelancer before re-inventing herself as a character
actress of note on television. A remarkable return to the screen in
the bizarre psycho-horror The Baby (1973) assured her of cult
status. This is the first book dedicated to a committed but often
undervalued actress who is fondly remembered by fans of classic
film. More than a biography, it seeks to contextualize the actress
within her own time, illuminate her Hollywood experience and
celebrate her extensive career.
