Jennifer Jones (1919 - 2009)

From "Oscar winner Jennifer Jones dead at 90"; the Associated Press:

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."

Rest in Peace, Ms. Jones.

Didn't know that!

Still I can't imagine her as a tough tipsy modern mother. I guess if she had the chance she would have done what she has always been able to do - amaze us by showing the true self of a complex character sympathetically and made us love her all the more. SM WAS brilliant but it's shocking that actresses with integrity get dismissed by producers unless surgically re modeled to compete with a 15yr old. Invisibility cloaks women in real life also doesn't it.

I also want to pay tribute with Ms. Jones. I only discovered here in You-Tube through your posting that she died last year. Before Audrey Hepburn and then Joan Fontaine and then Olivia de Havilland became my favorites, Jennifer Jones was my original fave actress of old movies, that dates back in my youth probably in the late early '80s when I'm rediscovering golden age movies while in my late teens or early 20s. I liked her in Love is a Many Splendored Things and, Carrie. May her soul RIP.

Though the pseudojazz dissonance is forgettable, (should the gods have mercy on me) the tender treatment of Ms. Jones is appreciated

[SoCalGal52]

@Beefsteer She owned the rights to Term, but was told she was too old to play the part. That's why Shirley got it. Not a nice thing to hear when you were once beautiful and famous. Jennifer was pretty up until the end. RIP.

@JanWest24 Liz Taylor what. This vid isn't about Liz Taylor. She'll get her dues paid when she passes away. In fact she is so famous, the news will be huge when she dies. Respect the lady he is featuring here and now.

[SoCalGal52]

Sorry, but the music really sucks. I really like the rest of it but that jazz does not fit her at all; I don't think it would fit anyone who is having a tribute paid to them. Not very pretty, Miss Jones deserves something pretty and peaceful.

Very talented, very special. Thanks.
