About this listen

Gloria Mae Josephine Swanson (March 27, 1899 to April 4, 1983), born in Chicago, was an American actress who joined United Artists in 1925 as one of the film industry's pioneering women filmmakers. She produced and starred in the 1928 film Sadie Thompson, earning a nomination for Best Actress at the first annual Academy Awards. Her sound film debut performance in 1929's The Trespasser earned her a second Academy Award nomination. Swanson earned her third Oscar nomination for her 1950 turn in Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, which also earned her a Golden Globe Award. The following recordings are from two tv interviews, one in 1965 and one in 1957.
