We remember Gene Tierney 1920-1991

Gene Tierney was born on this day in 1921.   Her father was a very successful insurance broker and Gene had a chance to study in Connecticut and Switzerland.

She played many famous roles:   

Martha Strable Van Cleve in "Heaven Can Wait" (1943), 
Isabel Bradley Maturin in "The Razor's Edge" (1946), 
Lucy Muir in "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (1947), 
Ann Sutton in "Whirlpool" (1949), 
Maggie Carleton McNulty in "The Mating Season" (1951), and Anne Scott in "The Left Hand of God" (1955).

My favorite is "Laura".   She was nominated for best actress in that role from the 1944 movie.
