My Take
Susan Anton is one of those late-70s entertainers who feels criminally underappreciated today — a genuine triple threat who could act, sing, and command a stage with real presence. She won Miss California in 1969, then built a career that most beauty queens never come close to touching: a Golden Globe nomination for her debut film Goldengirl, her own NBC variety show, and actual Broadway credits in serious productions like Hurlyburly directed by Mike Nichols. That's not a vanity résumé — that's someone who put in the work. I've always thought she belonged in the same conversation as the bigger names of her era; the timing just never quite lined up the way it should have.
