Claire Trevor: A One-Woman Play in Two Acts

By: Michael B. Druxman

Narrated by: Kathleen Godwin

Claire Trevor was one of the finest character actresses of her day.

Often cast as a “lady of the night”, or the alluring blonde female fatale, she co-starred in such classic films as Dead End with Humphrey Bogart, Stagecoach with John Wayne, Murder, My Sweet with Dick Powell, Key Largo with Bogart and Edward G. Robinson, for which she won an Academy Award, and The High and the Mighty with Wayne and an all-star cast.

Michael B. Druxman’s one-woman play, Claire Trevor, finds the actress lamenting the fact that her recent return to the stage in The Killing of Sister George did not go well. As she seriously considers retirement from show business, she thinks back over her long career and how she never quite became the major star she wanted to be.
