Gene Tierney by Michelle Vogel
Called the most beautiful woman in movie history, Gene Tierney starred in such 1940s classics as Laura, Leave Her to Heaven and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Her on-screen presence and ability to transform into a variety of characters made her a film legend. Her personal life was a whirlwind of romance (she married a count, was engaged to a prince, and was courted by a future president) and tragedy (her first daughter was born with severe retardation and Tierney herself struggled with mental illness). After years of treatment, including electroshock therapy that erased portions of her life from her memory, she triumphantly returned in one of the biggest comebacks in Hollywood history. This first complete biography since the actress's death includes a foreword by her daughter, Christina Cassini, an extensive filmography, and many rare photographs.
“Michelle Vogel is a very good writer..the images are superb, even breathtaking. Beautiful...extraordinary”—Classic Images; “extensive filmography...memorable quotes...rare photographs”—Turner Classic Movies; “big screen worthy of a biopic”—Canyon News.
