Biography

She recognizes itself that the life spoiled it. Betsy Blair was only one high-school girl - brilliant, but too young person for the university - when it was registered a little by chance with a hearing with New York. She dreamed already actress or dancer… His/her mother, teacher in the New Jersey, lent her lipstick to him and the jury let itself allure.

Betsy Blair thus begins like " Girl" chorus; in a nightclub. It is full with energy, of enthusiasm and does not miss either not distributed! Gene Kelly falls under the charm and the recruiting before making his wife of it.

Gene thus decides to take it in hand. It makes him visit New York, offers to him the world and initiates it with the policy. But its Marxist sympathies finish by him being expensive. Betsy will be found blacklistée by the Maccarthysme. What imports this black list and its exile in Paris. It succeeds in spite of very turning Marty , which obtains in 1955, the Palme of gold in Cannes.

Politically engaged, Betsy Blair hoped to change the world thanks to the theater and with the cinema. At 37 years, she dares all to give up - her life of actress, her dream of realization - to devote itself to the 3rd man of her life: the realizer Karel Reisz.
