Ann Blyth, Golden Age of Hollywood star, dies at 98
Best remembered for her unforgettable performance as Veda Pierce in the 1945 classic Mildred Pierce, Blyth rose to fame at just 16 years old, playing the cold and manipulative daughter of Joan Crawford’s title character.
She was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in Mildred Pierce.
The role made her one of Hollywood’s most talked-about young stars and secured her place in film history.
fter stepping back from leading film roles, she continued working in television and on stage, with appearances in shows such as The Twilight Zone and Murder, She Wrote. Her final screen appearance was in the 1980s.
Away from the spotlight, Blyth was known for her long marriage to Dr. James McNulty and her devotion to her family. She leaves behind a legacy as one of the last true stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Rest in peace, Ann Blyth. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.
