Lillian Roth (December 13, 1910 – May 12, 1980) was an American singer and actress. Her life story was told in the 1955 film ''I'll Cry Tomorrow'', in which she was portrayed by Susan Hayward, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Roth. ==Early life== Roth was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of Katie (née Silverman) and Arthur Rutstein. Her family was Jewish. She was only 6 years old when her mother took her to Educational Pictures, where she became the company's trademark, symbolized by a living statue holding a lamp of knowledge. In her autobiography, she described being molested by the man who painted her as a statue. The following year she made her Broadway debut in ''The Inner Man''. Her motion picture debut came in 1918 in ''Pershing's Crusaders'' as an extra. Together with her sister Ann she toured as "Lillian Roth and Co." At times the two were billed as "The Roth Kids". One of the most exciting moments for her came when she met U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. According to her autobiography, the president took Lillian and her sister for a ride around the block in his chauffeur driven car, after attending a performance of their vaudeville act. Roth entered the Clark School of Concentration in the early 1920s. She appeared in ''Artists and Models'' in 1923 and went on to make ''Revels'' with Frank Fay. During production for the former show, she told management she was nineteen years of age. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lillian Roth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
