Theresa Wright

Teresa Wright (New York, October 27, 1918-New Haven, Connecticut, March 6, 2005) was a renowned American actress.

She studied dramatic arts and began her acting career on stage. She made her Broadway debut in a Thornton Wilder play with which she would later tour the company. On such an occasion, producer Samuel Goldwyn saw Teresa Wright's performance, and hired her immediately.

He achieved something extraordinary in film. For her performance in her first three films, she was nominated three times for an Oscar, and one of them won it in the category of best supporting actress. She was not a Hollywood star, probably due to her sweet and sensitive appearance, but she did become a good actress. She worked in numerous films, by important directors and with famous actors, such as The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), a film by William Wyler in which she played the role of the daughter of a war veteran. that he returns home, and that he falls in love with another soldier returned from the front, Dana Andrews.

Over the next ten years, he was still in several films. However, she soon began to be typecast in the roles of homely women, with few resources, which displeased her to the point that in 1959 she left the cinema. From then on, and with few exceptions from her, she devoted herself entirely to the small screen, in which she reaped notable ratings successes, and she was nominated several times for the Emmy Awards.

He was married twice. Her first marriage lasted ten years after which she divorced. From that marriage she has two children. In 1959 she married for the second time.
