Suzanne Pleshette: Career
built 630 days ago
In the former part of her career, Pleshette, elegantly tailored, would often play rich, young and independent girls. For example, in her second feature, Rome Adventure (1962), she is a librarian, dismissed for stocking a "risqué" book, who takes off for a touristy Rome to find romance. Among the ruins, she finally opts for the American art student Troy Donahue over the Latin charms of Rossano Brazzi.

The Post, like many large news organizations, had an obituary for actress Suzanne Pleshette. But Time magazine's essay by critic Richard Corliss added insight to what Pleshette could have been -- her film career was mixed at best -- had she made it to Hollywood a generation earlier.

While the career of Donahue, who had made his reputation in "generation gap" dramas of the early 60s, went on the slide, Pleshette's career bloomed. Apart from A Distant Trumpet, she appeared in two other films in 1964, Fate is the Hunter, as an air hostess, the sole survivor of a plane crash, and the absurd Youngblood Hawke as a publisher's editor nurturing the writing talent of a truck driver.
