Suspense,
"radio's outstanding theater of thrills", was one of the premier
programs of the Golden Age of Radio, featuring a who's who of Hollywood
stars spread out over its 900+ episodes. Scripts focused on
suspense/thriller/mystery plots, typically involving a normal person being
thrown into a bizarre or dangerous situation, with the solution withheld
until the last moment--often with a surprising twist.
Guest stars included Cary Grant, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Agnes Moorehead (pictured), Humphrey Bogart, Lucille Ball and Marlene Dietrich. The show ran from 1942 to 1962.
