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.
Gene Tierney
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.

Dreams
“The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities.
We need men (and women!) who can dream of things that never were.”
If by a ‘Liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a 'Liberal.’
John F. Kennedy (born 100 years ago today)
Jack Kennedy and Richard Nixon before their debate, 1960
“‘We’re going to carry two states next year if we don’t carry any others: Massachusetts and Texas.’
The speaker was John F. Kennedy. The time was Friday morning, November 22, 1963… They were the last words John Kennedy ever spoke to me.
I was just going out the door when he said this. I turned and smiled at him. ‘Oh, we are going to do better than that, Mr. President,’ I replied. He returned the smile and nodded.”
-From The Vantage Point by President Lyndon Baines Johnson
Ugh it’s honestly so disappointing there are almost no JFK x Reader fics out there since I’ve had such a random and odd obsession with the Kennedy’s + their whole aesthetic and a small crush on JFK with nothing to fuel it. So I thought since it was summer I could spend some of my free time improving my writing by contributing to the “community” even when it’s just about 4 people tops. I’m lowk kinda high rn so lets see if this idea even sticks tomorrow but I think it’d be rlly fun so feel free to send in any fic ideas or even anything you wanna put out there Kennedy related!! I’m pretty sure I have my box open so don’t be shy!!
so um.. what happened to the jfk fic ideas? I’ve ran out of jfk x reader fics and im dying 😭 this fandom really is starving
Trust me, me too. I haven’t gotten any requests at all and I’m in need for some so if you have any lmk cuz trust- I’ve been starving too!!
I actually left for vacation like three days after I put out that post so I hadn’t had the time to think AND write but I’m sure I will soon. It’s just a little hard since I haven’t gotten any feedback of what the fandom wants. I have an idea but I want a solid start to get a feel because I haven’t written at all for him yet.
So PLEASE!!! if anyone has any reqs, send them in!
hi!! welcome to my blog (18+ pls)
get to know me !!
- my name’s sophie
- I’m a 19 year old college student/athlete so I am pretty busy. my fics/posts will come out slow so pls be patient!
- for now, my blog will be Kennedy based
- I love film, music, LDR, Sofia Coppola, vintage/antique anything, the Kennedys, and history among other things so don’t be surprised if you see me repost anything or post something new :)
-my request box is always open to talk or request a fic, so don’t be shy! negative/sensitive topics will not be shared or replied to
For now, my master list will just be links to the fics I write posted here, and I will be updating it!!
-unfortunately, I don’t have anything out yet, but come back later!!
Love you all!
Ouuuu what about a popular singer in America at the time that’s basically like a whole Lana Del Rey, but the 60’s, and she’s super well known for having her own sound or something like that?!?
Everyone loves her and her music, including Mr JFK who tells his secret service to slip her a number for a fun time at Crosby’s Mansion😏
He’s basically smitten with her when he sees what she can do in bed ( she’s a fighting dom)😭😭
Oh and there’s an age gap..
I guess this is what happens when you listen to too much Lana in one night💀💀
The way you literally read my mind.
I had actually been wanting to do this for a long time and the day you sent this I was about to put out a post asking if you all were interested in something like this.
I’ve been so intrigued with Lana’s use of the Kennedy mythos and constant presence of the Americana aesthetic in her music; especially in her older unreleased songs as well as, especially in, Born To Die. I see it in so much more than just National Anthem, American, etc.
I originally planned on writing a fic loosely based on a couple of her songs- but I love this req. It might be hard but I’m always up for a challenge!! I do have something hopefully coming in the next week or so, but I’m so tempted to work on this one immediately.
Lana for sure has been an inspiration in my work so far- she’s all I listen to while I’ve been working on my reqs, so I get you.
I’m sorry for all the vents and edits, I just don’t feel like myself lately and I hope that’s okay.
I'll give you some context. My problem wasn't very serious but it wasn't something I could ignore either. Basically, a friend of mine wanted to force me into a relationship. He kept disrespecting my boundaries and I felt like crap. I asked him if we can stay friends, but he wasn't okay with it and decided to leave me. I am over it now, but it still kinda hurts looking back at it.
