Susan French

Susan French was an actress (stage/television/film) and puppeteer who was best known for her many roles in films and such. She started out performing in theater and was one of the few performers to be involved with World War II, even starting a theatre group during that time. Susan's well-known films include Jaws 2, Somewhere in Time, House, Flatliners, and Young and Younger, to name a few. French also appeared in episodes of many television shows including Bare Essence, Cagney & Lacey, Quantum Leap, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and many others. Apparently during the 1960s, she also ran a puppet theater as well as publishing a book about doing puppetry called Presenting Marionettes, which shows that she indeed did puppetry in her career. Based on her appearances on-screen, she was a perfect fit to play elderly characters within some of the television shows and feature films she did over the years. Such a shame Susan French didn't puppeteer after the World War II era, she would've had the opportunity to meet other ones. But she was probably more comfortable appearing on stage/screen rather than under it. Her last film role was in Fist of the North Star (live-action version) and her last television appearance was on an episode of Picket Fences taking place in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Susan retired from acting in 1997 and eventually in 2003, she died of an old age. French will never be forgotten by her co-workers who performed alongside her over the years. Even though, she only puppeteered early in her career, before the Jim Henson era, she is still considered a puppeteer by Wikipedia and other websites. But acting will always remain her well-known profession since she's done it up until death. Susan French, you were spectacular acting on stage, television, and film over your entire career. Even though you're no longer with us physically, you'll always be with us mentally when we think of you, whether people notice it or not. No one can underestimate your acting chops and so on when people rewatch the films you've done. Farewell Susan. You lived a good life French!
