Today I'm binge watching Gene Tierney films all day and night.

-----------

You're welcome!

She's so thin you'll be unconsciously binge-eating, too.

It's been a dream so far.

She was so good in "Heaven Can Wait." She would've easily won Best Actress that year had Joan Crawford not rose from the ashes with "Mildred Pierce."

Sorry, I meant "Leave Her to Heaven" not "Heaven Can Wait."

R5 Do you think she would have won?

I only have seen her in

Advise & Consent (1962)

Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950)

Night and the City (1950)

Whirlpool (1950)

Laura (1944)

Sundown (1941)

yum-oooooooooooo

'Personal Affair' was rather dreary wasn't it? She must have had her crack-up by then.

Her whole family (grandparents etc) were drunks, weren't they?

There were other contributing factors.

Leave Her to Heaven

I just saw The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and she was wonderful in it. Quite a film. Gene Tierney has the most perfect face of all the classic actresses.

I've never seen A Personal Affair. Was it good?

She was great in Laura. Otherwise - meh. All she did was marry well.

R5 That is one of my favorites and to me she was at her peak of beauty. Bitchy Cliff Web, young Vincent Price. Perfect.

The set design in LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN is spectacular. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a film with so many beautiful houses and interiors. I’d love to live in any of them.

Add Advise and Consent, if only for the party scene which collects Gene and other ladies JFK fucked.

No, she had an enormous overbite.

It's as if Rhett Butler put his hands on her head —one on the top and the other on the bottom—as though to smash her skull like a walnut.

The speech impediment drives me crazy.

She's the epitome of Twentieth Century Fox's idea of a sophisticated actress in the 1940s and early 50s. Jeanne Crain, beautiful in a different way, epitomizes a more down to earth type of woman, though Jeanne played glam parts too.

On Broadway before her film career, George Abbott liked her, though I cannot imagine her in an Abbott-type show.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir May be my favorite movie. I only hope that when I drop my hot milk there’s someone there to walk me out the door.

[italic]Laura[/italic] is a must see, but [italic]the Ghost and Mrs. Muir[/italic] is my favorite. Her character in [italic]Leave Her to Heaven[/italic] is so evil, I stopped watching. The scene where she changes personas in front of the kid's doctor was great, but that was about as much as I could take. [italic]Heaven Can Wait[/italic] is fun, but she's strangely frumpy in it. Who styled her hair like that?

Whenever I feel old and sad I watch The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Then I take a walk in the beach. I feel better.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir could have used more Charles Nelson Reilly :-)

My favorite Gene Tierney film is "The Mirror Crack'd".

I like Whirlpool. It is heartbreaking when she is framed for murder and exclaims to husband Richard Conte, "You don't believe me!"

R20 - I find Jeanne Crain as dull as dog water so much prefer watching Gene T.

Jeanne Crain is very good in APARTMENT FOR PEGGY.

Gene Tierney's overbite makes her beauty really interesting.

Gene Tierney was the only Hollywood star invited to the Beistegui ball in 1951.

R17 Yes it is gorgeous but I'd be careful when using the stairs.

R11 But what were the contributing factors, Jane?
