[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 325514, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]Gene Tierney is criminally underrated. Every now and again some film noir buffs will dust her off and make some noise about her, but among general classic movie nerds, she often falls through the cracks. She was stunningly beautiful and had a sultry voice (a feat achieved by her taking up smoking when she felt she sounded like an "angry Minnie Mouse" in her first film). Outside of LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945), which breaks the norm for a film noir by being filmed in glorious Technicolor, and films like LAURA (1944) and THE RAZOR'S EDGE (1946), she was a great actress in many other roles. Her career was cut relatively short due to her own personal mental illness, and she was later removed from MOGAMBO (1953), leaving the door wide open for newcomer Grace Kelly to take her place.
