Carla Valderrama and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) recently released a book titled, "This Was Hollywood," which shines a spotlight on former stars who faded into obscurity. The author drew on new interviews, rare documents, as well as conversations with some of the last living sources who knew the former movie idols. "Susan looked like the most beautiful girl next door ever," Valderrama told Fox News. "When you see her films today, you’re just blown away by her performance.
