    And how about 'The Razor's Edge', and a wonderful over the top performance in a late movie, just found on Netflix instant with sets by Felix Harbord...

    Gene Tierney was one of the most beautiful mysterious and talented actresses of her time. No, of all time. She ended her life very sadly. Which goes to prove how right she was about fame wealth and beauty. LOVE your blog!!!!

    DED, all good ones- She is one of many in all honesty where I have seen most that is available out there. My father's favorite! Loved Laura, chilling in Leave Her...

    Julieta- so true- SO true.
    Bruce- double WOW.
    L.Eckstein- lavender is on the mind.

    J-A, The quote seems to be apropos of her life. She did have write and autobio- which was quite good.

    Loved her in the Ghost & Mrs. Muir...watch it several times a year. I haven't seen Leave Her To Heaven so that's something to look forward too! Such a glamorous photo of her.

    I have always found Gene Tierney fascinating. She was sad proof that beauty, fame and fortune don't necessarily promise happiness. Stunning photo.

    Cheers,

    Claudia
