The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's TSMMBI is quite a unique one,

in that the star was found in a 1938 Sears catalog in my possession,

before she was a star !! 

 To wit, 

Susan Hayward modeling hats

She's the gal on the left.  

The catalog also has a picture of her modeling another hat - I'm seen that particular pic tons of times in books about old movies.

Her real name was Edythe Marrener.  I think that sounds more moviestar-ey than 'Susan Hayward.'

Her last performance was a TV movie called Say Goodbye, Maggie Cole

I remember back then that nary a show or TV movie was without a character named Maggie. 

I'd love to know what exactly drove that.
