Full Susan Blakely Biography
Susan Blakely (born September 7, 1952), Frankfurt/Main, Germany, is an American movie actress who has mainly played supporting roles. As the daughter of a career Army officer, Blakely was born in Germany. Her first career break came while she was living in El Paso, Texas, where her father was stationed at Ft. Bliss. Around 1967, a photograph of Blakely posed poolside in a stylish black and white "op art" swimsuit was used by a local TV station, KELP-TV, on its I.D. slide that ran during breaks between shows. Her blond "California girl" good looks were exactly what was in demand at the time, and she was easily able to secure sponsorship for a national modeling competition, which she won. The prize was a year's contract with the Ford Modeling Agency in New York. Her first appearance on a cover was for a hairstyle magazine.
Many critics believe that Blakely's best performance was in the title role of Frances Farmer in the 1982 television film based on the autobiography of Farmer, "Will There Really Be A Morning?" for which she was nominated for the third time in the Best Actress category of the Golden Globes. In 2002, Blakely won the Best Actress Award at the California Independent Film Festival for her starring role in the film "Hungry Hearts". In 1982, Blakely married media consultant and crisis management expert Stephen Jaffe, a former television producer. |
