Susanna "Susan" Kohner (born November 11, 1936)[1] is known as an American actress who worked in film and television. She played Sarah Jane, a young African-American woman, in Imitation of Life (1959), for which she was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress.[2] She won two Golden Globe awards for her performance.[3]
After Kohner married menswear designer and writer John Weitz in 1964, she retired from acting to devote time to her family. Their two sons, Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz, both became film directors and producers, screenwriters, and occasional actors.[4]
