I saw Ms. Simmons on tour in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with the great Hermine Gingold. Simmons was dream perfect as Desiree Armfeldt and her scenes with Gingold were unsurpassed.
Her radiant beauty and grace along with her amazing acting talent graced every film she was in. She was a lifelong favorite of mine and miss her greatly.
OH NO she was like the only one of old actors/actresses left. its weird this morning i was thinking that somebody has died and i dont know who. rest in peace jean simmons you were great in great expectations
If you check the web site of who's dead or alive you will see still many actors are alive, like Olivia De Havilland (Gone With The Wind and her sister Joan Fontaine. Kirk Douglas who worked with Simmons in Spartacus. Some are in the 90s...look at Betty White in her late 80s and still kicking. Cloris Leachman..."Dancing With THe Stars:..Louise Rainer who one two Oscars is 97 or 98 and alive. Check it out....
One of the most beautiful faces of hollywood. And she was very talent, too.
Love her in: Elmer Gentry, Guys and dolls, Grat expectations, Spartacus, Black narcissus, Desirée, Hamlet, The Big country, She couldn't say no and The robe.
the other jean simmons is from a rock band called kiss,if you put kiss on you tube youll find them,hes the lead singer,well im so sorry about the lady jean,and funny but two days ago she popped into my thoughts,there you go,how people touch your life in one way or another?
She was not just a beautiful film star, but a real ACTRESS, she did Shakespere as well as many dramatic roles. For me her most charming appearance was as the singer in a cute little dress & pinafore in 'Way to the stars' singing 'Iam going to marry a farther nicer boy'. Actually she married Stuart Granger soon after this film.....(No comment)!
Yes, she gave a masterful performance in that film. Hollywood cannot produce epic films like that now, nor develop actresses who are that credible. Two reasons include:
1. The studios have less money now, adjusted for inflation, than in the 40's to early 60's. Epic films cost a lot, unless they are simply computer animations, which look fake.
2. American & British actresses are simply not as feminine, appealing, & emotionally genuine as they were 50 years ago.
She was one of my very favorite actress's. Every film that she was in was a good film, and she always gave charming and outstanding performances. Her Oscar nominated performance in the film The Happy Ending still holds up today as a good movie and a grand acting performance.....As much as I admire Elizabeth Taylor, I think that Jean Simmons should have one the Oscar in 1960 for her outstanding role in Elmer Gantry......I will always enjoy her films.
she should'NT be called aged 80, she was just nine days shy her 81st. 81 years of age as a bell would ring.
