She was a good actress, although I never found her all that compelling for some reason. I have a copy of EXODUS (1960) in its huge super widescreen way (and Sal Mineo got an Oscar nomination) but I have a hard time getting through it due to the politics.

Jeezus, 102 is a long time. But she's still two years shy of Olivia DeHavilland.

Agreed. She was a lovely and talented actress, but I didn't find her memorable. I lump her in with Carroll Baker, Joanne Woodward and Lee Remick; actresses who I think emerged around the same time, all pretty and talented, but none with any great screen magnetism.
