Dorothy McGuire jumped from the Broadway stage to the big screen with acclaimed performances in\\xa0Claudia and\\xa0A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. She earned an Oscar nod for her turn as a woman confronting her bigotry in\\xa0Gentleman\'s Agreement and she\'d later gain Disney fame as memorable moms in\\xa0Old Yeller and\\xa0Swiss Family Robinson. We\'ll hear her as a woman trying to reconstruct the night of a murder in "Last Confession" (originally aired on CBS on September 15, 1949). Then, she recreates her screen role in a radio adaptation of\\xa0The Spiral Staircase on\\xa0The Screen Directors\' Playhouse (originally aired on NBC on November 25, 1949).
