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.

Following an artist for their cute oc x canon ships but then said artist has a ship with one of your f/o's and your stuck between wanting to compromise because you love the artist and their stories and wanting to spare yourself the mental torment of seeing another person with that f/o

One of examples of Gene Roddenberry's myth-making is his oft-repeated contention that the network shot down the idea of having Number One as the Enterprise's executive officer because they were uncomfortable with having a woman in such a position of authority on the show. In INSIDE STAR TREK, Herb Solow, the head of production for Desilu, who had the job of pitching the series to NBC, says the network was actually enthusiastic about the idea of the character; their objection was to Majel Barrett.

Solow recalls that he attempted (at Roddenberry's insistence) to argue that casting the unknown Barrett would "add humanity and believability to the concept." However:

NBC Program Executive Jerry Stanley starred quizzically at NBC Vice President Grant Tinker. Then Jerry grumbled, "Christ, Herb, this is madness. She's his girlfriend. I remember her hanging around Gene's office at MGM when he was doing The Lieutenant for us." [39]

Not wanting to "rock the boat" with Roddenberry, NBC reluctantly agreed to casting Barrett in "The Cage," the initial pilot. However, Solow says the network executives "resented being put into such an awkward position." (It's important to note that Roddenberry was then married to someone else; he divorced his first wife in late 1969, after marrying Barrett.) Sure enough, after screening the pilot, one of the first things NBC said in its notes on the episode was:

"In varying degrees, we're not too happy with some of the cast. We support the concept of a woman in a strong, leading role, but we have serious doubts as to Majel Barrett's abilities to 'carry' the show as its costar." [60]

The network did (foolishly) object to the character of Mister Spock and recommended his removal (although they had no issue with Nimoy), but given Barrett's performances in "The Cage" and later as Chapel and Lwaxana Troi, NBC's concerns about her acting were pretty justified. However, as Solow put it, when it came to casting, "the only performers [Roddenberry] would stand up for were actresses with whom he'd had a previous personal relationship." So, Roddenberry and Desilu dropped the character rather than recast.

This is another one that cracks me up. The struggles when you have no lyrics xD

They scrapped this one because they eventually ended up agreeing that it is too similar to A Million to One.
