Susan Peters (July 3, 1921 – October 23, 1952) was an American stage, film and television actress.
Peters was born Suzanne Carnahan in Spokane, Washington, the elder of two children born to Robert and Abby Carnahan. Her father was a civil engineer of Irish descent while her mother was of French descent. Shortly after her birth, the Carnahan family moved to Portland, Oregon. In 1933, Robert Carnahan was killed in a car accident and the family moved to Los Angeles to live with Peters' maternal grandmother. (Another source says, "... she and her mother came to Hollywood when Suzanne was still an infant.")
Peters was educated at Laird Hall School for Girls, the LaRue School in Azusa, California, and Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy. "Susan, during her years in high school, worked after hours in a Los Angeles department store, earning money to help the family." While in her senior year at Hollywood High School, Peters began taking drama classes and signed with an agent. After graduating in June 1939, she won a scholarship to the Max Reinhardt School of Dramatic Arts. While performing in a showcase at the school, she was spotted by a talent scout for Warner Bros. and given a screen test. Warner Bros. signed Peters to a contract.
Susan Peters (born in Foothill Farms, California) is a Republican who serves on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Peters has served on the Board since January 4, 2005.
A businesswoman before joining the Board of Supervisors, Supervisor Peters began her career in banking where she served as Assistant Vice President of Wells Fargo Bank and Senior Vice President of Commerce Savings Bank. She later worked at McCuen Properties which was the company of her late husband. She served as treasurer for the company. The company helped with the redeveloping of Sacramento Central Library block, erecting the Ziggurat building in West Sacramento, and managing the successful reuse of Mather Air Force Base into the now thriving Mather Commerce Center.
While serving on Sacramento Board of Supervisors, Susan Peters voted in favor of a "Physical Contact" ordinance restricting entertainment where a performer is closer than six feet to the audience. Opponents of this ordinance argued that it would be found unconstitutional if challenged. This effectively shut down two topless dancing bars which had been operating peacefully in her district for over a decade.
