Born: December 6, 1900 - Clinton, Massachusetts, USA Died: April 30, 1974 - Rochester, Minnesota, USA Cause: lung cancer
Agnes Robertson Moorehead was an
American character actress. She
was born in Clinton, Massachusetts, the only child of
a Presbyterian minister. She grew up in St. Louis,
Missouri.
Moorehead was a graduate of Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. She was also part of Orson Welles' Mercury
Theater on the Air radio program in the 1930s
and appeared in a Broadway production of Don Juan in Hell in 1950.
While never a headlining star in films, her skill at character development and her range, allowed Moorehead to garner awards
and accolades. Moorehead transitioned to television in a seamless fashion, and again won acclaim and accolades for her work in
drama and in comedy.
Agnes Moorhead died in Rochester, Minnesota from
lung cancer. While never confirmed, it is suspected that Moorhead’s
cancer was a result of having been exposed to radiation while filming The Conqueror in the Nevada desert.
Moorehead, and co-stars John Wayne and Susan Hayward all died from cancer. The irony of this circumstance is that three of Hollywood’s biggest
stars may have literally and unknowingly sacrificed their health to make a movie that is consistently rated as one of the worst
films of the 1950s. Moorehead herself believed her cancer was related to this exposure,
commenting in an interview shortly before her death "I wish I'd never done that damn movie".
Though widely believed to be a lesbian, Moorehead married actor John Griffith Lee in 1930; they divorced in 1952; they had one son, Sean, born in 1949
and adopted in 1950/51. It remains unclear whether the adoption was legal, though Moorehead did raise the child, have him
educated, et cetera. In 1953, she married actor Robert Gist but was divorced in 1958. The actress was also a devout Presbyterian and in interviews often spoke
of her relationship with God.
Following her death, Moorehead willed her Emmy for Bewitched, her Oscar nominations and her private papers
to Muskingum College, along with her family's home in Rix Mills, Ohio.
She is interred at Dayton Memorial Park in Dayton, Ohio.
