    Gena Rowlands not winning an Oscar for Best Actress is truly unjust. Her performance ranks among the best in my heart.GOAT. In the movie "A Woman Under the Influence," she delivered one of the most outstanding performances of a sensitive, suspicious, and neurotic female character in cinematic history. It's difficult to perform these qualities without overacting, but she did it perfectly and naturally, conveying raw depressive black emotions. I really admire her, and it's a pity she didn't win the Oscar for her performance. Her performances in both "A Woman Under the Influence" and "Opening Night" deserve two little gold statues...

    Easily one of the greatest actors in human history; possibly the greatest actor in human history - but it's impossible to know for sure. Her perfection of conveyance of emotions and realizations - both huge and small: There are no words. We're just incredibly lucky that it's captured on film.

    What a Beautiful compilation and tribute to such a talented actress and star. I have always found her to be both Beautiful and fascinating! Looking through these pictures of her, I can see so much resemblance to the also talented and beautiful actress Cate Blanchett.

    Rest in Power with your husband and artistic collaborator John (Cassavetes).
    You are one of the greatest actors ever.
    Your contributions to the art of acting, theater and cinema will never be forgotten.
    I'll be writing something and making a video after I get my thoughts together.
    This loss really hurts.

    "It’s a question of finding things in yourself and developing them to a different level. That’s the only clue I can give to studying. It’s more instinctive than acting.
    Anyone who has eyes to see can tell almost anything about your life from watching you on film. You just can’t hide it. No matter how much you are into a character. You can just see an actor’s soul on film."

    " We have to be witnesses to each other-all of us-but particularly among artists. I know that people understand and respect the concept of loyalty among friends and lovers; peers and comrades. I believe in loyalty toward those who have given so much to our lives without the benefit of social or sexual intercourse-artists who have endowed us with their souls.
    We must be loyal to them. Show them respect. Spread the word. Be a witness.
    I'll give you a list, and the first name is that of Gena Rowlands."

    As I watch her I'm mesmerized can't take my eyes off her. My heart follows her as she weaves the person she is paying. The tend not to call female actresses an actor but Gena is an actor in everyday. From the early days when John started writing roles for her and little theatre group they had she was exceptional. Later after his death their son and other children followed. Notebook her son wrote for her outstanding performance. Nothing can beat her in Gloria I say it was first mob film coming out of the 80s before Godfather. What a gangster she was but so vulnerable in her loneliness she became family to boy who's whole family got murdered. She went up against crew she was with.I have watched that movie hundred of times.the movie with Peter Falk where he loves 2 woman coocoo wife and mother. The break out film. Nobody like her.

    I was born in 1988, and I've only been used to seeing Rowlands in supporting roles. I didn't know her collaborations with husband John Cassavetes and their films.
    Last week, I watched A Woman Under the Influence for the first time, and I was shocked on how brilliant of an actress Gena is. Oh, my god. Her performance in that film is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen from actress in a long time. Such a powerhouse. I just finished watching Opening Night for the first time, and I just fell in love with her. Another incredible performance. She is one of those actresses where you can't tell if she's acting. She's so natural. Wish she was given better quality roles nowadays. Of course she's in her 90's, but within the past 30 years, I wish she was given more staring roles like Meryl Streep. At this point, I put Rowlands on top of one of the best actresses in the business. She's great.
    Next film of hers, I might watch either Love Streams or Gloria.

    "... It's unnerving for audiences too especially when it's Gena Rowlands in front of the camera. Gena Rowlands is unusual due to the films she did with her husband John Cassavetes, as well as her almost uncanny belief in the imaginative circumstances of any given part. One needs only to watch her deliver ":The 5 Points Monologue" in "A Woman Under the Influence" as her character descends into psychosis to see how much farther she goes into a role than most other actors do. It doesn't even appear to be acting, what she's doing. You actually worry about her in ways you simply don't with other actresses."
    - from the video essay "Watching Gena Rowlands" by Sheila O'Malley
