Mrs. F.E. Chalkley, aka Susan Hayward
This story about a talented red-headed actress began when we recently were in Carrollton, Georgia, for a great-granddaughter’s fourth birthday party. While stopped for a gasoline fill-up at a convenience store, I picked up the May-June edition of “West Georgia Living,” which featured movie star Susan Hayward and her husband, Floyd Eaton Chalkley, on its front cover.
Inside was Hayward’s life story. Fascinating! I discovered that she had once lived in Carroll County, Georgia, from 1957 to 1966, becoming a “local farm girl” (in between making movies) after marrying a former FBI agent turned local auto dealer.

Susan was born Edythe Marrenner on June 30th, 1917, to Ellen and Walter Marrenner in Brooklyn, New York.
