| I Want to Live! (1958) | Susan Hayward "smokes throughout... Especially when shes waiting in her cell for her execution. She bums a light off the Warden. Classic style." "Susan is first seen waking up - and lighting up. A remarkable fifteen further smoking scenes follow. She holds her cigarette between thumb and forefinger and there is no doubt about the depth of inhale. There is a newspaper picture showing a close-up of her hands, clutching a cigarette and a pack of non- filters. She dances with a cigarette between her lips when in prison and goes to her execution with a final really deep open-mouth inhale. She got an Academy Award for this picture - I'd have given her one for the smoking alone!"
