a rare moment of levity for a young woman with a terrible childhood, but epic Hollywood career and co-stars
Tuesday Weld, who was forced to be the family bread winner by age 8 due to her father's death, by 9 she had a nervous breakdown, by 10 was a drunk, and by 12 attempted suicide.
At age 18 Tuesday had an affair with co-star Elvis, later she married Dudley Moore but turned down the starring roles in Lolita, True Grit, and Bonnie and Clyde, but did star with Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason in Soldier in the Rain, and was on Many Loves of Dobie Gillis for one season along with Norm Grabowski.
Tuesday was also in the Private Lives of Adam and Eve with Mamie Van Doren, and Norm Grabowski, she also starred in Teacher's Pet with Clark Cable and Doris Day, and Jet Pilot with John Wayne, and The Big Operator with Mel Torme.
How about that, start 2018 by learning of her, end 2018 with the only photo I've ever stumbled across of her
if you need your brain melted, watch Falling Down with Michael Douglas, and then take a while to deal with the fact that Mrs Pendergrast is played by Tuesday Weld. Yup, Robert Duvall has Tuesday Weld playing his wife.
