Teresa Wright: Life
built 655 days ago
In an industry filled with famous faces more than happy to conform to any role, just to be working, Teresa Wright did not. Her resistance to the studio system of the 1940s and '50s cost her a long-term contract that had been personally orchestrated by Sam Goldwyn. He had seen her in the 1939 Broadway hit, Life with Father, and immediately wanted her in his stable of talent. Less than 10 years later, he would tear up their deal, claiming Wright was difficult. In fact, she demanded and earned respect.

In June 1562, Teresa began writing her autobiography, Life. The book was written while she knelt on the floor at a window ledge. It described her early life and spiritual experiences. She later added chapters dealing with prayer in which she compared different stages of prayer to different methods of watering a garden. She subsequently wrote Way of Perfection, to guide her nuns in the monastic life and instruct them in prayer.

Teresa described the years between 1562 and 1567 as the five most peaceful years of her life. In 1567, the Carmelite general Giovanni Battista Rossi visited the Convent of St. Joseph and approved of Teresa's work. He commanded her to establish other reformed convents. She spent the next nine years traveling throughout Spain, establishing 12 convents. Teresa faced a lot of opposition and became very well known. She ... established two houses for men who wanted to adopt the reformed lifestyle.

Current PR-director Rick Cerrone was slick enough to rediscover the 79-year old Ms. Wright in Connecticut in 1978, and to invite her to throw out a first pitch. It turned out that getting a phone call from the Yankees was the last thing she ever expected in her life. Not only was she no baseball fan, she did no publicity with the team for the movie’s release, and simply went on her way to other films after wrapping up production.
