Actress Loses Fight For Live
Visalia, California - AP
Actress Susan Peters, whose fight against paralysis brought a living story of
courage to Hollywood, lost her battle last night.
The attractive 31 year old star whose spinal cord was damaged in a hunting
accident seven years ago, died while visiting her brother here (Visalia, Ca.)
In 1944 Susan was hailed as one of filmdom's most promising actresses and her
future looked bright. Then on New Year's Day, 1945, she went duck hunting
with her husband. As she reached for her rifle, it accidentally discharged,
sending a bullet through her stomach to lodge in her spine.
After months of hospitalization, Susan went home - paralyzed from the waist
down. The doctors told her she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Two years later she came back to star in a movie once again - this time as
the crippled girl in "Sign of the Ram." She acted from her wheelchair, just as
she did in the "Miss Susan" series for television she completed in
Philadelphia prior to coming here.
Her death was attributed to complications arising from the 1945 accident.
The brother, Robert Carnahan, said her only other survivor was an adopted son,
Timothy, age 7. Miss Peters and actor Richard Quine were divorced in 1948.
The actress was born Suzanne Carnahan in Spokane, Washington.
Emma's note: Susan Peters was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the
1942 movie Random Harvest.
