[@JSB1882]

I don't know how Gene Tierney could be even more beautiful off screen. Good Lordy Jesus!

[@whit2642]

Dave La Violette Stunning!

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

A movie of Genes life, career and loves should be made it would have it all and in the right hands could be a a great story.

[@mickydeloach7807]

My mother’s college year book, were covered with messages of telling her she looked just like Gene Tierney! Her pics in the year book covered 45 pages she was pictured on! My college friends begged to spend holidays or even weekends to visit momma! I miss her every day!

[@jamesdunn9714]

The children we have great effect on our lives; their health, their happiness and well being. It is very sad what happened to Gene's child and so unnecessary. Quarantine exists for a reason and the woman that broke quarantine did a very bad thing indeed.

[@waynej2608]

That lady should've been permantly quarantined.

[@Muirmaiden]

Gene didn't blame the woman either. "There was nothing I could do that fan. She didn't know what she was doing to me. But how can you forget something like that? It's always with me." Spoken by the lady herself. A class act all the way.

"she's my wife and she will do what i tell her to do ' Oleg Cassini .... ...that says it all

[@iamtman1]

Most beautiful face I've ever seen was Gene Tierney circa 1940's.

[@ninninin656]

I really don't like how the men talk about her as if she was some sort of statue or piece of art, like an object, not a human being!

[@amyclarke41]

that was the time

[@karllagerfeld15]

Times havent changed all that much!

[@annnee6818]

@@amyclarke41 Lol. You think it's that much better now?!

germankiwigal - Too bad if you don't like it. Try taking a broader approach. People have many aspects - talent, kindness, conscientiousness, charm, creativity, coordination, balance, grace, nobility, imagination, intelligence, loyalty, power-to-love, spirituality, etc., etc., etc., - and beauty and sex-appeal are two of them. None of these aspects discounts any of the others. Nothing wrong with finding someone beautiful and sexy. We are here looking at her trials and tribulations, her emotions, her talent, etc., we are not here looking at porn. You are the one with a dirty mind and hang ups. Loosen up. Love life in all its multifacetedness. Look outside your ideological box. The species has been perpetuated - up to and including you - by physical attractiveness.

[@ivanpolik2782]

oh,my,my these magic eyes of her,stunning

[@jamesfox2579]

❤️❤️❤️ Gene Tierney!

[@DAVEJJR]

Absolutely stunning!!!!!

[@lindaeasley4336]

The fact that she got involved with a controlling man like Cassini showed just how troubling her life was . She married him out of spite for her father and the studio

[@patricebest545]

Oleg C controlling Her father betrayal The selfish woman with German measles leaving quarantine Glad Gene T had lovely second husband

[@kgmaj]

OMG! The Mirror Cracked!!! My heart is in my throat right now!!!!

[@claudiacaluseriu3973]

I was thinking the same thing. Elizabeth Taylor played în that movie.

[@EloiseDecember]

This is So..sad. It seems to me that good people get so much grief and nothing happens to the worst people in this world..:(

[@esrapk]

why was she good in your opinion ? Because she was pretty ? LOl.

[@frickadele]

The Mirror Crack'd.... with Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson... where Liz Taylor's character discovers that the person she's speaking to.... gave Liz's kid the death sentence. This is Gene's real life story. How cool is THAT to know!!!!

[@guinnberger2681]

Oleg Cassini's autocratic way of expressing himself was so repulsive: "I told [her father] 'She's MY wife and she'll do what *I* tell her to do...' " But then, he had a lot of the same arrogance her father had, so I suppose that was a factor in her choice of him as a husband. Her life was such a mixture of fabulous success and bitter misfortune.

[@Muirmaiden]

Guinn Berger, he wasn't talking about her father, he was talking about the head of publicity at 20th Century Fox.

[@opelske]

A truly lovely actress. I loved her in Laura and Heaven Can Wait with 2 of my other favorites, Dana Andrews and Don Ameche. Such sadness in her personal life.

[@lorrainem.swartzentruber3077]

The story of her daughter was used in an Agatha Christie novel. Can you imagine? If you are sick, stay home!!

[@stankormy5717]

Gene was so beautiful!

[@nomadpi1]

A too-often occurrence of Holly Wood stars who let parents, or, spouses, manage their careers. Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, Jackie Cooper (Coogan?) to name a few.

[@karlholdo831]

Being a movie fan, it's nice to learn a little about the actresses/ actors from the Golden age of Hollywood.

[@murielbarker7435]

A Miss Marple had a storyline about a actress who caught German Measles from a fan wonder if she got the idea from what happened to Gene Tierney so sad

[@JesusChristisKingandLord]

To declare her mentally unstable because they were against the romance? Sounds like Britney Spears.

[@lisaellis2593]

Poor, Ms. TIerney and her poor baby, such sadness.

[@tjb1952tjb]

My dad's favorite actress was Gene Tierney and my mom's favorite actor was Dana Andrews...............

[@rayjay3616]

One of my favorite....great great actress.... 💕💕💕💋

[@youandwhosearmy6339]

WHAT a looker!

[@brandyyolidio4213]

Her father was no joke, he took action quick

[@pattywolford]

Excellent biography. Thanks. New subscribed.

[@windstorm1000]

there's a happy ending--go to later episodes.

[@AvaSousa]

Esta atriz é linda sua historia incrivel pena q no Brasil não seja mt conhecida

[@icegekki]

Her life is her best accomplishment. Although tragic, it makes a great story.

[@XX-gy7ue]

SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@user-rz8bu6vl8x]

A beautiful woman!

[@dorosatt]

Yes -- I've seen Agatha Christie's "The Mirror Crack'd" on TV (with Joan Hickson as Miss Marple), but never realized the plot was based on actual events in Gene Tierney's life. I just looked up the publication date for that particular Christie book -- it was 1962, almost 30 years before Gene Tierney's death, so she must have known about it and she must have been hurt by it. I think it was damned heartless of Agatha Christie to use a tragedy like that for her own purposes.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

And an act that has not been followed to this day nor ever will be....

[@msinvincible2000]

Agatha Christie "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side" ! I didn't know it was a true story. How sad. I remember thinking, while reading the novel, that the actress had every right to kill the stupid selfish woman who ruined her life.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

I have watched this documentary so many times. I still can't believe an adult woman, even in that time, believed nothing devastating would come from escaping quarantine, and coming in contact with another person, with a sickness so very serious. That is why celebrity worship is dangerous. Stay in peace Gene💚

[@windstorm1000]

there's a happy ending--she got the treatment she needed--and had a happy second husband--

[@bigtexmacgonigle444]

Sexiest....Overbite....EVER

[@501archer]

YES!!! I didn't even know what an overbite was until I was older. I first saw a film of hers (Leave Her To Heaven) when I was really young (9-10yo?) and I remember thinking she was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!

[@annnee6818]

That's what you see?! Wow. Just wow.

[@AfridiZindabad]

they were blacklisted for their marriage, how strange.

[@thrashdouche21]

AGREE!

[@kristinam7928]

She looks like Adriana Lima

[@windstorm1000]

Amen. thank you. sometimes there ARE second acts in American lives.

[@anapaulagirello5883]

Agatha Christie escreveu um livro sobre essa historia

[@RanBlakePiano]

Jean. Basinger has the photo painting original in her studio.

[@JesusChristisKingandLord]

Oh, "The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side...Agatha Christie's novel, where the murderer was an actress whose child became physically and mentally ill because someone gave her the mumps or the measles, something like that when she was pregnant. So the actress killed the woman and Mrs. Marple solved the case.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

Kudos

[@sheronpotter6020]

did agthia Christie do a film about an actress who's baby was born like that Elizabeth Taylor played her if so was it.based on gene Tierney?

[@bapyongukgukguk2352]

Sheron Potter this is so not a coincidence !!

[@miltsar]

the universe is random ...bad things happen to good people. there is no rhyme or reason . this is what life is abourt .

[@minimethebald]

Mirror Cracked from side to side? I feel cheated :P

[@lounamana]

OMG poor woman - very Agatha Christie story here [and the mirror cracked from side to side]

[@darganx]

She reminds me of Jennifer Jones, but I see the directors the same.

[@opelske]

Did Oleg Cassini take care of their second daughter, Christina?

[@kazior6521]

opelske She died penniless a few years ago from Cancer. Oleg left the majority of his massive estate to his younger widow. He left Christina only a very small amount, which the widow refused to cede to Christina. It was still tied up legally at the time of Christina’s death. Honestly, this lead me to boycott Oleg Cassini products.

[@susanbrogan3267]

Cassini was just a charmer and that's it.

[@susanbrogan3267]

Cassini was just a charmer and that's it.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

why..

[@joylong8897]

Sad

[@CATEYESBEGGINGFORLOV]

I love Agatha Christies detectives, but I think it was kind of mean or cruel to use somebody personal tragedy for the book`s plot!

[@remyhocage9854]

Wow, Tierney is the real life story written/dramatized by Agatha Christie ! (Guess it was not an original idea.) How incredibly sad. Think title is THE MIRROR CRACKED. Breaking quarantine is horrible. In Christie's book the actress kills the stupid fan.

[@HAPPYTHELEAF]

Ah yes there in lies the knub of it for this story has the risk of being destroyed in the wrong hands and equally of being made a story of great human endavour and ability to surrmount both mental and emotional misfortune and strife, whilst you would not cast Angelina Jolie,given the correct screen writer,director and Producers an unknown of acting ability would suffice...

[@kelchjr8522]

HAPPYTHELEAF Olivia Wilde fits perfectly

[@alexwilde1975]

I don't like the name Daria as it sounds to much like diarhoea.
