Knowing Ann Blyth

 Ann Blyth is immortalized in movie history for playing Veda (the daughter of Joan Crawford's character) in Mildred Pierce (1945). That film is rightfully considered a classic and beloved by many movie fans. Her performance certainly adds a lot to why this film works so well. However this was just a part of Ann Blyth's movie career. This career also included such movies as Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948), Top o' the Morning (1949), Once More, My Darling (1949), The World in His Arms (1952), All the Brothers Were Valiant (1953), Rose Marie (1954), The Buster Keaton Story (1957) and The Helen Morgan Story (1957). She also worked on stage in the musical plays The King and I, The Sound of Music, and Show Boat and appeared in episodes of such beloved TV shows as Wagon Train, The Twilight Zone, Quincy, M.E. and Murder, She Wrote.
