Gene Tierney - Hollywood's forgotten star
She played every conceivable character in 34 films: actress Gene Tierney never allowed herself to be confined to one role, as was the norm in Hollywood.
For Martin Scorsese, Gene Tierney is one of the most underrated actresses from the heyday of US cinema. The actress never allowed herself to be confined to one role, as was the norm in Hollywood, but played every conceivable character in 34 films, from Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "A Ghost on Freelance Feet" to Ernst Lubitsch's feature film "A Heavenly Sinner", which became a milestone in her career in 1943. She probably took on her best-known role in 1944 in "Laura" by Otto Preminger, with whom she subsequently worked several more times. In 1946, Tierney was nominated for an Oscar for her role as a psychopath in "Mortal Sin" (1945).
As a teenager, Gene Tierney was advised by Anatole Litvak during a visit to a film studio that she should become an actress. The actress, who inspired directors such as Josef von Sternberg, Joseph L. Mankiewicz and John Ford, had an eventful life story



Lubitsch was a tyrant on the set, the most demanding of directors. After one scene, which took from noon until five to get, I was almost in tears from listening to Lubitsch shout at me. The next day I sought him out, looked him in the eye, and said, 'Mr. Lubitsch, I'm willing to do my best but I just can't go on working on this picture if you're going to keep shouting at me.' 'I'm paid to shout at you', he bellowed. 'Yes', I said, 'and I'm paid to take it – but not enough.' After a tense pause, Lubitsch broke out laughing. From then on we got along famously.

She had a methapysical beauty that took your breath away.
Her silence lent mystical expressiveness to every scene, only intensified by her gaze.

This movie is a real treat, from the set, lighting, editing, story to the acting performances.
One of my favorite old Hollywood movies.

Her silence was worth a thousand words, she could just stand there in a shot and change the whole scene with her charisma and a single glance.
mod
Her charisma was almost mythical in nature so she was able to play more than just one type of woman in the old Hollywood studio system.






In contrast to Marilyn Monroe, she was almost forgotten and was not only beautiful but mystically beautiful, as if from another dimension.
