  • Gene Eliza Tierney (November 19, 1920 - November 6, 1991) was an American film and stage actress. Acclaimed for her great beauty, she became established as a leading lady. Tierney was best known for her portrayal of the title character in the film Laura (1944), and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Ellen Berent Harland in Leave Her to Heaven (1945).
    Tierney's other roles include 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), Mary Bristol in Night and the City (1950), Maggie Carleton McNulty in The Mating Season (1950), and Anne Scott in The Left Hand of God (1955).
    Tierney was married twice. Her first husband was Oleg Cassini, a costume and fashion designer. She was 20 years old. Her parents opposed the marriage because he was from a Russian-Italian family and born in France. They had two daughters, Antoinette Daria and Christina.
    In 1943, while pregnant with Daria, Tierney contracted rubella, likely from a fan ill with the disease. Antoinette Daria was born prematurely in Washington, DC, weighing three pounds two ounces (1.4 kg) and requiring a total blood transfusion. The rubella caused congenital damage: Daria was deaf, partially blind with cataracts, and severely mentally disabled. She was institutionalized for much of her life. This entire incident was inspiration for a plot point in the 1962 Agatha Christie novel The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. Tierney's friend Howard Hughes paid for Daria's medical expenses, ensuring the girl received the best care. Daria Cassini died in 2010, at the age of 66. Her younger daughter, Christina, also died at the age of 66 of ovarian cancer.
    Tierney and Cassini separated October 20, 1946, and entered into a property settlement agreement on November 10. They later divorced in 1952. In 1958, she met Texas oil baron W. Howard Lee, who had been married to actress Hedy Lamarr since 1953. Lee and Tierney married in Aspen, Colorado, in 1960. They lived quietly in Houston, Texas, and Delray Beach, Florida until his death in 1981.
    Tierney's autobiography, Self-Portrait, in which she candidly discusses her life, career, and mental illness, was published in 1979.
    She died of emphysema on November 6, 1991, in Houston, 13 days before her 71st birthday.

    GT was lovely. But her teeth were really crooked and weird looking overbite/alignment & messed up, too bad she didn't get braces. Or were they even available back then? Maybe that is why she never smiled with her teeth in he pics much? Plus, she was a little overweight and had to starve herself to stay thin I read. She was definitely "hippy."

    • @1953childstar
      @1953childstar Месяц назад +1

      She came from a wealthy family, so having braces was not an issue ( My father and his sister had braces -1923-1926 ). The concern was that straightening her teeth might change the shape of her face, so Doctors decided against it.. Her weight was also controlled by chain smoking.

      @@1953childstar Thank you for the interesting trivia and information. I actually knew about the chain smoking to keep her weight in-check. So, producers back then would place their hands non her waist and feel her up and down and tell her if she was getting too fat---how awful! I have always liked Gene Tierney--class act--and thought she was lovely. However, my favorite actress to me, the one who is the most supremely beautiful of all and who eclipses all others, is surreal Grace Kelly in my humble opinion. Thank you again.
