RIP Jennifer Jones I know my fellow classic film fans will know who she is. If you see a listing for Since You Went Away this holiday season, be sure to check it out. It was one of her best films.
Oscar winner Jennifer Jones dead at 90 LOS ANGELES – A publicist says Jennifer Jones, who was nominated for Academy Awards five times and won for her portrayal of a saintly nun in "The Song of Bernadette," has died at age 90. Leslie Denk, spokeswoman for the Norton Simon Museum, says Jones died Thursday at her home in Malibu. Her only son, Robert Walker, was at her side. Jones, the widow of museum founder Norton Simon, was deeply involved in overseeing the Simon during her later years. She was one of Hollywood's biggest stars in the 1940s and '50s, appearing in such films as "Duel in the Sun," "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" and "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit." We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

RIP We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color. Maya Angelou | |

She was so beautiful. She reminded me of a more exotic Elizabeth Taylor. I loved her in Duel in the Sun with Gregory Peck. | |
