Gale Sondergaard: Mistress of the Dark: A One-Woman Play in Two Acts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798508580469)

Gale Sondergarrd was the first recipient of the Academy Award for "Best Supporting Actress," winning for ANTHONY ADVERSE in 1936.

Never the leading lady in films, she, nevertheless, made her mark in such classic films as THE MARK OF ZORRO (1940), THE LETTER (1940) and ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM (1946), for which she received her second Oscar nomination. Quite often, she found herself cast as the mysterious housekeeper or as the film's villainess.

Married to the director Herbert Biberman, one of "The Hollywood Ten," she found herself blacklisted in Hollywood for two decades. During that period, she was able to find some work in the theatre, and in an occasional independently produced film.

Michael B. Druxman's "GALE SONDERGAARD: Mistress of the Dark," joins the actress, now widowed, as she contemplates whether she should write her memoirs.
