Originally Aired: August 24, 1944
In Suspense #106, “Actor’s Blood,” Broadway legend Maurice Tilleyou gathers his daughter’s friends, lovers, and enemies for a midnight banquet—one that promises to reveal the truth behind star Marcia Tilleyou’s violent death. As thunder crashes outside, old wounds and rivalries resurface, and the line between theater and real life blurs in Ben Hecht’s haunting tale of egos, betrayal, and obsession. Narrated by Hecht himself, with Frederick March as the tragic patriarch, this dark backstage mystery builds to a startling revelation about love, legacy, and the high price of living—and dying—for the stage.
