he Carrollton Center for the Arts will celebrate Oscar winner (and former Carrollton resident) Susan Hayward with a showing of the film The Revengers, January 4 at 2pm.
“Each year, we are honored to pay tribute to this remarkable actor who once called Carrollton home,” said Carrollton Center for the Arts Manager Tim Chapman.
The 1972 film, The Revengers, was Hayward’s last theatrically released movie. In it, a rancher’s family is massacred by a gang of outlaws. The rancher, played by William Holden, assembles a team of convicts as his posse to pursue the killers. Hayward plays Elizabeth Reilly, who nurses the rancher back to health and falls in love with him.
Hayward lived in Carrollton with her husband, local businessman Eaton Chalkley, from 1957 until 1966. She won the Academy Award for her role in 1958’s I Want To Live! while living here and was presented with the key to the city upon her return to Carrollton from the Oscar ceremonies. The center hosts a showing of one of her films each year in January.
Tickets are $5 (includes water and popcorn) and can be purchased online at carrolltonarts.com, by phone at 770-838-1083 or at the center’s box office at 251 Alabama Street.
