(SPECIAL — From
The entir.e motion picture world- is payin^ tribute to the indomitable spirit of Susan Pete^s, the "^dun^ promising' actreSs who was paralysed in a -hunting aecidpnt, reported in this column almost three'years ago; . This same Susan Peters is now oiie of thd most popular : contenders f'or an Academy Award as' a' resffltof her. brillrant work in "The Sign Of The R'am." Impressjons'in Hollywood , i are- that Susan's prospects of receiving an VQscar"- are'very : rbright.; ? ■ "» * .
* Throughout the film, Susan will bei^seen in a wheel chair or' i-h' bed, begause, like the heroine of Margaret Fergusons best-selling novel, she is unable to, walk. The most interesting fact about Susan, in my opinion, is that, despite the hunting tragedy which made. her completely immobile, she still practices marksmanship, and regularly too. She and her husban'd, Richard Quine, have adopted a boy, Timothy, and plan tto adopt another boy and a little girl in the near future. It is no wonder that the paralysed v'eterans at Birmingham Hospital recently made Susan the only civilian member of thefi : organisation. •k * *
