knew she was destined for a career on the stage when at age 6 she won
the Little Miss Camden Beauty Contest in her hometown of Camden
Arkansas. Other contest
victories for dancing, singing, acting, and beauty followed, culminating
in her heading for New York City at the age of 18.
Acting classes
and Actors Workshops led to appearances on Television’s; “CBS

“Three by Three” and “Players on the Beach”.
She played the ingenue in a Pre-Broadway tour of “God Bless Our
Bank” with Ann Southern. Summer

Minneapolis, “The White Barn” in Irwin, Pennsylvania and
“Playhouse On The Green” in Columbus, Ohio, occupied her summers.
She was Leading Lady in Regional Theater productions of such
popular plays as “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mommy’s Hung You In The Closet
And I’m Feeling So Sad”, “Golden
Fleecing”, “Any Wednesday” and “Rattle of a Simple Man”. Susan met her
future husband, Eldon Quick, when she was resident Leading Lady at the
Southbury Playhouse in Southbury Connecticut.
Shortly after their marriage Eldon left NYC for a National Tour
in a Play which closed in Hollywood, Calif.
Susan joined him there and they have lived in Hollywood ever
since. In Hollywood she
has made a large number of appearances on segments of series television
such as “That Girl,”
“Phyllis,” “Six Million Dollar Man,” “Cannon,” “Barnaby

working on The Iliad she was drafted to be his first audience and
to advise him on his performance. Later
when performances in front of larger audiences became possible she was
given the jobs of Producer, stage-manager and prompter. It is inferred in Homer’s works that he had an assistant
when he performed. This
assistant was the goddess Calliope, one of the nine muses.
Susan is Eldon’s goddess.
