Gena Rowlands interview

[@arianaslair5646]

My mom was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was 14 around the time A Woman Under the Influence was released. When I saw the film, I wept for days. I felt my mom was validated through Gena's performance, it released such a heavy burden from the stigma my family endured surrounding mental illness. I will never forget how it helped me cope with the isolation and pain i felt as a teenager. Thank you Gena for your bravery and tremendous gift, you are missed...may you rest in eternal peace and love. ❤❤❤

[@31Alden]

“There’s nothing about each other we can’t understand, if we choose to.” THIS is why I will forever love Gena Rowlands! ❤

[@michellerene951]

RIP Gena Rowlands. My mom and I saw Gloria in the theaters and we've been fans ever since. You will be greatly missed. 🙏🕊🌹😢

[@user-pc3xb4hd8i]

She's one of those actresses and people you fell in love with the first time you saw one of her performances. She's real and gritty and beautiful.

[@linaofilms]

This is the best interview I've seen of Gena Rowlands that covers insights into her acting, her collaboration with her husband John Cassavetes, and the nuances of balancing her personal and professional life. Thank you for this.

[@mickeymouse-yd7bk]

Such a wonderful person, beautiful, intelligent and sensitive. I love all of her and his films.

[@glamdolly30]

She is a very special woman and a superb actress. How lucky it was that she and John Cassavetes met, they were so compatible - two remarkable people joining forces. He died too young but has left her with so many memories and gifts to treasure. A fascinating and moving interview - thanks for sharing!

[@erik5222]

Loved her in GLORIA... Greatest performance I have ever seen on screen. Oscar should have been hers. Along with" Woman Under The Influence "Great person & actress. Love, Erik

[@karenschneiderman7180]

A Woman Under the Influence is the greatest film I have ever seen. Everything created by John and Gena is a masterpiece.

[@cynthialyman2636]

Gena Rowlands: gorgeous, talented, and seems genuinely nice in the bargain. I have always been a fan.

[@JakesJoint2]

Met Gena Rowland's in Seattle, with her mother. Gena's mother was so funny and had a smile that was amazing as is Gena Rowland's. Amazing life, career and just great to have a conservation with.

[@jredbone11]

I love you Gena and my favorite movie of all time is “Gloria” love your strength and resiliency in the film. You stood up for what you believed in and Protected and loved the child as if he was your own .

[@emilytoscano721]

Wow what a special life of real life❤️. She was an amazing real person, Wife, Mom and actress 💯 She was real😘. RIP Beautiful Lady🙏🏻

[@arthurbosch1460]

Gena Rowlands is such an INCREDIBLE actress; an equal match for John's incredible movies, writing, & acting! I've always loved them. I was living in Los Angeles when "Woman Under The Influence" opened. How Gena Rowlands did not win an Oscar for that performance is beyond comprehension.

[@judithfox2435]

She is real, down to earth, so talented, and still very beautiful.

[@vivianokon7256]

Just an unbelievably talented, intelligent, soulful and beautiful woman. I must concur that her meeting John, falling in love and having a brood of wonderful children seems an earthly gift to all at times. Madam Rowlands you are simply timeless quality.

[@31Alden]

Beautiful comment.

[@sirdouglas2010]

Wonderful interview. We are watching all of Cassavette’s movies now. I saw Gloria in my 20s and was blown away.

[@carikotcher9862]

Shes such a beautiful older woman...shes always been beautiful though...and I see her tearing up as she talks about John

[@chocolatcats]

she loved the best..

[@madlove1581]

Pure class ~ that's what she is..............

[@davidsanderson5918]

I was waiting for her to tear up after reading her comment. I didn't see any tear anywhere. Her right eye appears to be moist but it's just her low eye liner which makes it look as if it's gaping. She simply has shiny eyes. She held strong. Held it together.

[@annsol3928]

Finally! A beautiful, full interview with Gena Rowlands!!! I love her, thank you so much for sharing!

[@JuneLynn]

I enjoyed this so much, Gena seldom does interviews...so touching when she talks about John, the love of her life....Thank you for sharing!

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

I’m so happy their lives collided in such a way. That’s so rare. They’re so rare. Absolutely wonderful legacy

[@marclaw4511]

She is one hell of an actress.

[@louisgreen3915]

One of my Favorite films of all time is when she stared in Woody Allen's "Another Woman". I can't watch that movie without reciting the lines and shedding tears. Love this woman.

[@madlove1581]

Louis GREEN watch her in Gloria

[@annettebitet8603]

Hell Gena! You are so Beautiful, and what an Actress! You have always been one of my favorite actresses! Gloria is my all time favorite movie! I could watch it over and over! Love to you always!! ♥️♥️🌺🎶🎶

Best interview of Gena Rowlands. Thank-you

[@mpaxton8991]

Beautiful woman! Eighty five years old and looks like she's 40! I've loved every role I've ever seen her in. She has class like no other!

[@jimbob1277]

She was not 85 here, far from it, this interview must be at least 20 years old. Look at some videos of her in 2012 to see what she looks like now. Still a great actress though.

[@sergiowasko6805]

this was in 1977 she was 47 not 85

[@00zarzu00]

this was clearly in the 90s so she was probably in her 60s here. look at the big screen tv (left side of screen at some point early-mid interview sorry don’t feel like looking up timestamps) during the sit down interview and her platform sandals (popular then) at the end on the stairs. and her children were grown (she already had one grandchild from her second child) and she said her youngest was born in 1970. so. if you were speaking of woman under the influence, then, yes, that was 70s

[@155gerard]

@@sergiowasko6805 Not 1977 but also not recent. Probably around 25 years ago, perhaps 1999ish, when Gena was late 60s. John passed away in 1989.

Flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest…… I love Gena what a glorious Woman. Thank you

Wow!! Really became a fan of her after watching her in the movies, awesome interview, emotional and nostalgic, loved it

[@LAndrew-rm5jz]

Anutosh Ghosh I'd like to recommend to you a Gena Rowlands/Bette Davis film titled "Strangers: The Story Of A Mother & Daughter". It's one of the best TV movies ever made and watchable over & over again. The music, location and acting are all superb.

(2:37) She means 'Dangerous Corner,' a production of the J.B. Priestley play. (4:37) When she says 'Middle of the Night,' she means 'A Woman Under the Influence.'

[@ed7hanke]

I love that her home--or at least a portion of it--is filled with Cassavetes-Rowlands memorabilia... What I wouldn't give for the "Love Streams" poster and those close-ups from "Gloria." 😏😁

I was always a fan, a personal fan of both of them, when I say personal, I mean I think they were a very interesting couple, whom I enjoyed getting to know over the years thru out their careers, and what I saw was what u got, no faking amongst them, they were real people, so they became real to u, not like actors who play parts

[@madlove1581]

Gena Rowlands ~ master at acting ~ the human condition.

[@pamelaledgerwood2004]

I believe Gina was an actress in a class of her own.......She was brilliant in A Woman Under the Influence...and I'm so glad she was given a very deserved award at the Governors awards in 2015. She well deserved it......She was brilliant in Notebook as well as her other films....We won't see the genius of her acting again.......Beautiful woman........

[@guidosforza9007]

The great always forgotten star of Hollywood. Of course she deserved the Oscar but the establishment wouldn’t give her a chance. I don’t think she and Cassavettes would care much. They were the first independent movie makers

[@PanditMeharChand]

You are Great !! I salute you Stina Dabrowski

[@legend9948]

at 4:39 she mentions they had the script for Middle Of The Night when she is really talking about A Woman Under The Influence....she did act in Middle of the Night back in the 1950's on Broadway with Edward G Robinson
