“I existed in a world that never is , a prison of the mind.” -Gene Tierney… Watch Diana Dors & her black mail sex parties NEXT th-cam.com/video/deAd1a5pb8Q/w-d-xo.html
So many of these "glamour" actresses came to Hollywood sheltered, unprotected, and naive. Many of the male power players were/are predators. Her story is bittersweet. She had enough courage and resilience to succeed. But at what cost? One of the few that left on her own terms was Ava Gardner. She left at her peak and moved to Spain, then London. Even then, I suspect she would have liked to be back in the States. But she remained in London until she died. Thanks, Karine, for your "portrait" of Gene Tierney.
@@KarineAlourde Your video brought home the links between all these women and how they were (mis)treated. I would like to think that some things have improved. The Hollywood Studio System is gone. But in its place is another world of excess and that needs to be taken seriously too. And I think and hope it's beginning to be.
You are correct. And some, like Marily Monroe, already came from dark circumstances. So, it was like the environment of Hollywood exacerbated their established issues.
@@susanrike7476 The only cure would be a code of conduct in place that contained whistle blower's protection. This would protect those who make complaints about those people breaking the code of conduct. It would be such a simple thing to do you have to wonder why the studio's have refused to implement it.
Dolly Parton always said…”Act like a lady but think just like a man”. A quote that her father told her right before she went into the music business. Although Dolly made it through the country music scene rather unscathed. I am still hoping that you would do a cover on her one day. Such a strong woman and a class act.
Her father was right. The US entertainment industry is full of pervs and has been linked to trafficking for a very long time. Its a known secret and the girls who aren't aware of that are the ones who breakdown in the end.
@@Gemini053 pretty sure it’s more the “act like a lady” as often when that’s said it’s tell women to be restrained be quiet etc nothing wrong with being classy but it’s similar to “good girl” and there’s a dark side and bad usage to it…
You have a phenomenal channel, the best of its kind. Gene Tierney was a perfect 10/10, her cheekbones, symmetry, and harmony of facial features. She was a true beauty, definitely one of the most beautiful celebrities in the world. She is equally as stunning as the young Brooke Shields, Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Taylor, Lena Horne, and Halle Berry. --- Admin
She was a true beauty but troubled. I loved her in Leave Her To Heaven, The Razor's Edge, Close To Home and Laura. These days, I am most proud of her openness about the subject of mental health (on talk shows at the time of her autobiography in 1979) at a time when it was still heavily stigmatized and taboo. She will never be forgotten.
Love her she once said that Jayne Mansfield was the most beautiful women that she ever seen and Jayne Mansfield said that Gene Tierney was beautiful and one of her favorites. Gene Tierney was beautiful and talented Hollywood really did a number on her.
LOVE your remark regarding "overweight, balding, and disfigured men projecting their own insecurities..." So so true. Gene was a goddess. Many beautiful and talented women have been ruined by this type of man. We need to look into our own mirrors and take back the power.
Definitely agree take back that power even on instagram I see these type of men talk about gorgeous woman and I click on their page like you don’t have no room to talk
The beauty standards have truly fallen. My dad is in his 80s and commented once what happened to all the pretty girls. I'm in my late 40s and honestly as a woman I have watched the decline of genuine beauty. Also the anger and seeming rage in Western women is truly their downfall. It's sad to say the least.😊
She was so incredibly beautiful, when you look at her you only see a perfect face, naturally.. way before the plastic surgery we have today..I love her movies too.. Thanks Karine, not many younger people like us watch these movies or knows of these people from the 40’s , which is my favorite- the clothes, shoes, hair, just the whole style, and you bring it back to life in your videos 💜
My wish is to bring back the fashion, makeup and hairstyles of the 40s to this new generation. It was so glamorous and stunning. I love seeing our generation enjoy these videos so much ❤❤
@@KarineAlourde I love it!! Have you heard of Walter Lampl jewelry? It’s beautiful silver heart charms, some with enamel and incredible paintings of flowers on them, I have several.. plain silver ones and I made a charm bracelet with my enamel heart charms, all dated in the 40’s, I cherish it..
They have had cosmetic surgery since before the silent movie era. Much of it was far better than what we see today. They all had work done, even Ingrid Bergman, but Gene was the only exception I have come across, and she was far more beautiful than any of them.
Thanks Karine for your video of Gene. She is by far to me, one of the most hauntingly beautiful women of her time. Her eyes are so unique and pale. What a beautiful woman.
I get the feeling that Hollywood is like marrying an abusive husband. You start out full of hope, dreams, you have your looks & your health but at the end you're left broken.
I have long admired Gene Tierney for her acting and distinctive beauty. I never realized the tragic arc of her life. Having worked as a Psychiatric nurse for a time, post the era of Electro-shock therapy, but still had patients that had been treated by this method. Few reported real sterling results. Drugs are hardly better so Ms. Tierney's story is too familiar. But she was extraordinarily beautiful, and did have a noticeable overbite, which I find absolutely adorable. Would love to see you cover Louise Brooks, one iconic starlet that refused to play along with the worst of early Hollywood, and later made it the subject of her writing. Would also see you do something on Anna Mae Wong.
I’m not a cosmetic surgeon but I think her overbite, face shape, hair texture/color, eye color, body shape and poetic tendencies were extremely Irish, including escaping her captors rather than submitting to them. The overbite actually added to her symmetry of her facial structure. The better looking a person is, the more others think of themselves as owning that person .
Thank you Karine ❤❤❤ I love any and everything written about Gene…I am named after Gene Tierney. My mother was a fan of Gene’s and so was I growing up as a child. I often go an visit her grave here in Houston. I have learned where the name originated from in Ireland. Please continue doing what you do, because of my name, I grew up LOVING and appreciating “Old Hollywood” actors. Great job!!!
I know you’re tired of the requests, but I love when you cover music artists from the 40s and 50s and beyond. Videos on Big Mama Thornton, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday would be so good 🥹.
It is so saddening Karine, I learned so much through your breakdown videos. And how much in some ways I relate to some of the women and learn from them either through their advice or their mistakes. Thank you for the video love, hope that you are having a good week 💗
Agatha Christie wrote a murder mystery based on Tierney's experience with an ill woman passing illness on to the daughter in her womb who h was later filmed in a movie with Isabel Taylor. Great video, thanks for compiling all this!
Gene Tierney's first daughter Antoinette Daria Cassini (October 15, 1943 - September 11, 2010), was born intellectually disabled because Gene had contracted rubella (aka German measles) during her only appearance at the Hollywood Canteen. This served as the uncredited inspiration for the plot of the 1962 Agatha Christie novel titled "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side" and later movie The Mirror Crack'd (1980, Columbia) starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Kim Novak, Tony Curtis and Angela Lansbury.
I worked in the movie and commercial industry in Hollywood for 25 years. It is a snakepit, full of black magic and dark energy. It sucks one into a trace, a spellbinding...it takes great strength to get out of it. I rescue animals now. So glad I got out.
Yes Amanda Bynes's story is very tragic. I pray she gets the proper help and is ablw to pull through. I can't believe with everything that we know now it's still happening.
I love watching her films- she’s just stunning- but it’s sad to find out what she was going through! I’m surprised at how much her story resonates with me…Thank you for the vid🩷
Gene was absolutely stunning! It’s so true that these sick hollyweird predators love to make woman feel badly. I love that you mentioned that Karine! Btw, I love this background music! I know you’ve had it for a bit now but I truly love how the music pairs with these breakdowns
The issues she had from people insulting her because they thought she was overweight, immediately reminded me of Karen Carpenter. I think it was in a magazine that she read what some writer wrote saying she was fat. Which was so wrong. She was anorexic and bulimic which led to her death. It would be great if you did a video on her. 😎👍
Oh Karen. Her mom was her worst enemy and favored Richard. I wish her parents would have just let her be her full self, and also not dismiss her excellence on the drums because it "was for the guys."🙄
@@TheRetroWoman80 Right. She was a great drummer. And people don't know how heavy those drums for marching bands are. She's so tiny and yet rocked those drums out while marching formations in the show not to mention parades where you have to dodge horse poop on the ground while making sure you still stay in step and keep the line. She was awesome. 😎👍
@@2degucitas Nope, she never was. But those diets her family had her on warped her mind toward body dysmorphia. I read Little Girl Blue ( I think that's the title) about her. Just horrible toxic treatment she received. I don't know how she kept singing so lovely going through all of that. Maybe art was the safest escape and truest way she could express her internal world.
@@2degucitas No she wasn't. She was petite but people are a-holes and made her think it. That's why she never wanted to come out from the drumkit. It was like her shield. 😔
My favorite Gene Tierney movie was The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Agatha Christie also created a mystery story based upon what happened to Gene and the woman who infected her. Excellent video as always, Karine, thank you!
She was very physically besutiful - a big part of her beauty was her exquisite natural intelligence , grace and charm - you couldn't help but fall in love with her.
Sorry But People are getting Marilyn Monroe‘s heritage wrong. Marilyn‘s Mother was Born in Mexico, yes But MM Grandparents moved there because of her Grandfather work place. Marilyn Monroe has irish ancestry, and because her Mother might have had the mexican Citizen ship doesn‘t Make her native/mexican.
I love that you are pin pointing at those patterns. And can't wait to see your break down with Amanda Byne too, which to me is no different to that of Britney Spears situation. Those are very young kids who are put under terrible pressures & demands, on an emotional, psychological & physical level at the same rate as fully grown adults. Dealing with situations that even adult women can't cope with. And they are supposed to ignore their trauma & PTSD to start acting brand new like nothing ever happened, get clean & sober up overnight & turn their life around, just like snaping their fingers. It all sounds insane until people start paying close attention to the role psychopaths & narcissists play in society. And how their psychology gets them in most positions of power. What those starlets were dealing with is the exact same situation a lot of victims of abuse in relationships suffer from. Predators always go after very young women, mostly virtuous, full of trust & compassion & very stable of mind young girls. And by the time those psychopaths or narcissists are done with those girls, they are a wreck & a shadow of their former selves. And if they break fully grown people, so imagine their impact on young kids. That's we need a system to identify them, expose them to limit the damage they cause in society. Any way better stop here, I'm getting heated. Good job!
Man this all just breaks my heart.. children should not be forced into the industry… can’t wait to dive deep into this Amanda Videos. Gonna use your comment for reference cause you wrote everything so beautifully ❤
Smh it’s not surprising that unattractive men made her fell insecure. I do know a fat, nerdy guy who projected his insecurities on women. He’s over 300 labs and only about 5 ft 9 and has admitted that’s he’s unattractive. Yet, every time he saw a overweight woman he would call them fat 😑
Deeply messed up souls do things such as this. Sometimes, I think they do it unconsciously but most times I believe they know full well they are doing this. It's quite a weak attempt to make themselves feel good about a being that they wish they were, but are not. You know?
My ex did that to me. For 6 years he verbally abused me, made me feel inferior and stupid, telling me men wouldn't want me and I should be so lucky to have him. By the end of the 6 years, I lost so much self esteem and confidence. Our mutual friends said I dodged a bullet when we broke up. He's short, scrawny, balding, with bad teeth and a below average face, but thinks he's Adonis. When I finally had the courage to date again, it was the complete opposite of what he said would happen. A few years later, I ended up dating the man of my dreams ❤
My mother taught me at a young age to become intelligent and to not be so into my looks. Men have abused me about looks. They think that all women only care about is their looks. One guy I started dating said that I wasn't pretty enough to be his gf. I wasn't hurt at all. I told him that he wasn't intelligent for me to become my boyfriend. He completely folded and kept on asking himself why wasn't he smart enough. Several years later, he called me at work and begged me to see him. I reluctantly agreed. We met at a restaurant where he told me that I was the only woman who treated him well. I was engaged at that time and told him about it. He started attacking my fiance saying that he was probably some ugly guy. I told him that this guy was actually someone I knew in high school. A very good looking guy that was popular and athletic. Yeah, don't get together with psychologically unfit men.
Hi mrsgriffin I don't think I've ever seen her films but one thing I will say is Karine channel is worth watching very interesting info she must work real hard on these videos well I had a question what films have you seen of Gene that you would recommend?
@mrsgriffin41 Yea I find them very interesting it was a different time plus the way they looked and spoke was different crazy everything changed once the 60s and 70s started
Good points on the mental illness due to possible eating disorders and identity crisis due to the beauty pressures and sexual abuse mental physical abuse. These kinds of stressors are on plenty of every day women plus pressure of career and family. It’s not just happening in Hollywood obviously as women are taken advantage of all the time. Not just women. Everyone.
Thank you for presenting Gene Tierney. I always list her as one of the top 3 most beautiful women of all time. When I say that, I usually get blank stares of people not knowing who she is or saying they don’t like the hairstyle back then so they don’t think she’s pretty. As far as medicine now, yes it’s still barbaric. Can’t believe they pushed the “safe and effectives” on us with no data as to its safety. Time will tell…..
Omg I’m so happy! Gene has ALWAYS been my favourite!! She was my introduction to old Hollywood when I watched one of her black and white films- her acting blew me away and made up for the lack of colour!
Gene Tierney was one of my favorite actresses. I loved her in Laura and Leave her to heaven. She was a very stunning woman. I watched an interview that she did when she was much older. She talked about having her front teeth filed down a bit because she thought that she had bunny teeth. She was very open about her problems with mental illness and the shock therapy she endured. She talked a little about her daughter Daria. I was really surprised that she only left Daria one dollar in her will and left all the rest of her money to her daughter Christina. I don't know if that was because Howard Hughes was paying for Daria to live in the facility she was in or what. It just seemed odd to me. Thanks for sharing this video!
I am not surprised she did Daria that way versus Christina. So many of that generation truly casted those children who were different and abnormal (in the eyes of the world) completely out of their hearts and minds, for the most part. I deeply hate that.
These are so well made Karine, the voice is very easy to listen . This is real journalism. Beauty can be a curse with all the demons lusting. The Gene Tierney's of the world can survive and excel. My girls had grandparents with Bibles in the house and were people of prayer. If you want fulfilling success give your life the One who died on the cross to save you. Not selling your soul to gain the world as many do today, only for destruction in the end.
Hollywood destroys beautiful women, it's so sad what goes on behind the scenes. Jean was a beautiful woman, I'm so sorry they took advantage. Thank you!
I believe that Gene Tierney and Rita Hayworth were the most beautiful actresses to come from that era. Sad, that both had mental health issues, and we're exploited by men in Hollywood. My other favorite is Ingrid Bergman.
Beautiful lady., Just gorgeous . I grew up on "The Golden Years of Hollywood ". Loved the glamor and mystic. I love of her movies, especially the "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir " and Laura. Those Old Hollywood bosses was dirty and evil. There's a actress by the name of Merle Oberon. She has a interesting story. May all of those beautiful ladies RIH ♥
Just my opinion, but I think she was the most beautiful woman of classic Hollywood. She was more beautiful then Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, or Rita Hayworth. She was magnificent in “leave her to heaven”
It takes a Very Strong Character to withstand such a physically focused world. Having solid representation via agent with integrity important. AND all actors who start out with an acting school, then doing theatre, then TV, then movies seem to do better; learning and making progress slowly.
Thank you for these deep dives great work. Hollywood is the devil's playground. So many sad horrible stories out there the Coreys suffered. Corey Feldman Corey Haim. Horrible.
it's not only Hollywood that is dark but also other industries it is up to you to always decided if you want to sacrifice body just get ahead in life or you rather stay true to yourself and do things the right way
While my Mom tells a different story, my Dad once told me I was named for Gene Tierney's Laura. As a kid, I didn't know who she was, but since then I've become a big fan. While that one's my favorite, Leave Her to Heaven must've been difficult for her as a mother, esp. w/Daria. Back then in the early days of film, some considered acting as prostitution, maybe why some families and parents objected? Anyway, Gene Tierney's story is heartbreaking, but as you said, not unlike that of so many in Hollywood.😢
In England, women were simply not allowed on stage until the Restoration of King Charles I in May 1660. Then it was scandalous and it's true that many of the actresses were also 'ladies of the evening'. This attitude, that 'nice, well bred young ladies' didn't go into the acting profession has lasted, as we can see from the video well into the Forties!
She was a beautiful woman with a classic Hollywood glamour. She was a talented actress who starred in some of the most iconic films of the 1940s and 1950s. She had a troubled personal life that made her relatable to the French public. She spoke fluent French and had a connection to their culture. The French are known for their appreciation of beauty, talent, and a good story. Gene Tierney had all of these things, and it is no wonder that she remains a beloved figure in France today.
I'm a huge sleep advocate myself. It's so important to keep a good sleep schedule for a healthy life. It helps reduce how many calories you need to keep your energy up. Clean water is just as important.
Gene Tierney was a beautiful, Oscar winning woman. It's really terrible how Hollywood used her. Studio heads, producers, directors etc. Used women to satisfy themselves. I love the Ghost and Mrs. Muir. The story is so beautiful. In Leave Her to Heaven. She was so evil. Unfortunately, all the est treatments were barbaric. She was bi-polar, but through all that happened to her, her superb acting still shone. RIP Beautiful lady.
I first saw Gene on tv as a teenager in the 80s loving to watch old movies! Saw Laura and she made me melt! What a gorgeous woman! Her, Lena Horne, Grace Kelly, Lauren Becall and a many others! Some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood don't feel beautiful! Its the industry and their standards! You come in there normal and leave damaged! Good job lady!! She was gorgeous!!💋💋💋💋💋❤❤💕💕💕💕👋👋👋
Another thing all of these women (Gene, Vivien, Veronica) have in common, and I find fascinating, is they are Scorpios. I share the same bday as Lake. I’m also bipolar and have many of their similar experiences. Idk random thing I noticed. They were absolutely amazing.
Vivien had schizophrenia. I 'm a Leo which is irrelevant to the diagnosis and the illness. Careful with mystical thinking or connecting dots that are not there. Take Care of Yourself ❤ Love Yourself for who You are ❤
@@AmandaHugandKiss411 it was just that, mystical thinking. And Vivien was bipolar. There are multiple accounts, through biographies and first hand experiences, that clearly express she had manic depression id est; bipolar disorder Regardless, thank you for the kind wishes!
OMG! I was just thinking of Amanda Bynes when listening to this and then you said you are making a video on her.. THANK GOODNESS I believe she has been through this sheer hell from the industry!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Marilyn Monroe did not have Mexican roots. Her family moved to Mexico due to an agricultural situation in the states. The family learned to speak Spanish; however, this fact doesn't make Marilyn's roots/ancestry in the country of Mexico.
Thank you so much for your videos I really enjoy them and your voice is very pleasant and the only voice that I can listen to . Keep up the good work ❤

Yes Amanda Bynes's story is very tragic. I pray she gets the proper help and is ablw to pull through. I can't believe with everything that we know now it's still happening.
I think Karine meant Rita Hayworth not Marilyn Monroe when she was speaking of them changing her Mexican heritage and and hairline etc.
Rita didn't have Mexican heritage either. Her Father's people from Spain and Mother's elsewhere in Europe(England- Ireland)
Thank you for making a video of this often forgotten legend who endured so much ❤
Precisely❤
Gene Eliza Tierney - Greatest Legend of the silver screen
I love watching her films- she’s just stunning- but it’s sad to find out what she was going through! I’m surprised at how much her story resonates with me…Thank you for the vid🩷
Gene was absolutely stunning! It’s so true that these sick hollyweird predators love to make woman feel badly. I love that you mentioned that Karine! Btw, I love this background music! I know you’ve had it for a bit now but I truly love how the music pairs with these breakdowns
The issues she had from people insulting her because they thought she was overweight, immediately reminded me of Karen Carpenter. I think it was in a magazine that she read what some writer wrote saying she was fat. Which was so wrong. She was anorexic and bulimic which led to her death. It would be great if you did a video on her. 😎👍
Oh Karen. Her mom was her worst enemy and favored Richard. I wish her parents would have just let her be her full self, and also not dismiss her excellence on the drums because it "was for the guys."🙄
Karen was never fat
@@TheRetroWoman80 Right. She was a great drummer. And people don't know how heavy those drums for marching bands are. She's so tiny and yet rocked those drums out while marching formations in the show not to mention parades where you have to dodge horse poop on the ground while making sure you still stay in step and keep the line. She was awesome. 😎👍
@@2degucitas Nope, she never was. But those diets her family had her on warped her mind toward body dysmorphia. I read Little Girl Blue ( I think that's the title) about her. Just horrible toxic treatment she received. I don't know how she kept singing so lovely going through all of that. Maybe art was the safest escape and truest way she could express her internal world.
@@2degucitas No she wasn't. She was petite but people are a-holes and made her think it. That's why she never wanted to come out from the drumkit. It was like her shield. 😔
Excellent job on this video! And your empathy for Gene Tierney is so loving.
One of the most beautiful in my book! That woman had such a mystique aura to her!
My favorite Gene Tierney movie was The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Agatha Christie also created a mystery story based upon what happened to Gene and the woman who infected her. Excellent video as always, Karine, thank you!
That was a sweet movie. Every time I think of that German measles situation it saddens me.
That was 'The Mirror Crack'd' iirc.
@@OdeInWessex You are right, that was the name. Thank you!
She was very physically besutiful - a big part of her beauty was her exquisite natural intelligence , grace and charm - you couldn't help but fall in love with her.
Sorry But People are getting Marilyn Monroe‘s heritage wrong. Marilyn‘s Mother was Born in Mexico, yes But MM Grandparents moved there because of her Grandfather work place. Marilyn Monroe has irish ancestry, and because her Mother might have had the mexican Citizen ship doesn‘t Make her native/mexican.
If MM was born in Mexico, by nationality, would make her Mexican. Not by ethnicity though
@@user-gt1kd9rv1w but she Wasnt born in Mexico
I love that you are pin pointing at those patterns. And can't wait to see your break down with Amanda Byne too, which to me is no different to that of Britney Spears situation. Those are very young kids who are put under terrible pressures & demands, on an emotional, psychological & physical level at the same rate as fully grown adults. Dealing with situations that even adult women can't cope with. And they are supposed to ignore their trauma & PTSD to start acting brand new like nothing ever happened, get clean & sober up overnight & turn their life around, just like snaping their fingers. It all sounds insane until people start paying close attention to the role psychopaths & narcissists play in society. And how their psychology gets them in most positions of power. What those starlets were dealing with is the exact same situation a lot of victims of abuse in relationships suffer from. Predators always go after very young women, mostly virtuous, full of trust & compassion & very stable of mind young girls. And by the time those psychopaths or narcissists are done with those girls, they are a wreck & a shadow of their former selves. And if they break fully grown people, so imagine their impact on young kids.
That's we need a system to identify them, expose them to limit the damage they cause in society. Any way better stop here, I'm getting heated. Good job!
Man this all just breaks my heart.. children should not be forced into the industry… can’t wait to dive deep into this Amanda Videos. Gonna use your comment for reference cause you wrote everything so beautifully ❤
@@KarineAlourde ❤
My favorite movie of her is leave her to heaven" she was a gorgeous woman
Please consider losing the distracting background music. Your lovely voice is all that is needed. Great choice and video.
She is my favorite actress from the golden era along with Leigh .
Smh it’s not surprising that unattractive men made her fell insecure. I do know a fat, nerdy guy who projected his insecurities on women. He’s over 300 labs and only about 5 ft 9 and has admitted that’s he’s unattractive. Yet, every time he saw a overweight woman he would call them fat 😑
Deeply messed up souls do things such as this. Sometimes, I think they do it unconsciously but most times I believe they know full well they are doing this. It's quite a weak attempt to make themselves feel good about a being that they wish they were, but are not. You know?
My ex did that to me. For 6 years he verbally abused me, made me feel inferior and stupid, telling me men wouldn't want me and I should be so lucky to have him. By the end of the 6 years, I lost so much self esteem and confidence. Our mutual friends said I dodged a bullet when we broke up. He's short, scrawny, balding, with bad teeth and a below average face, but thinks he's Adonis. When I finally had the courage to date again, it was the complete opposite of what he said would happen. A few years later, I ended up dating the man of my dreams ❤
@@z.deutch1334 He sucks, you won👏👏👏👏
My mother taught me at a young age to become intelligent and to not be so into my looks. Men have abused me about looks. They think that all women only care about is their looks. One guy I started dating said that I wasn't pretty enough to be his gf. I wasn't hurt at all. I told him that he wasn't intelligent for me to become my boyfriend. He completely folded and kept on asking himself why wasn't he smart enough. Several years later, he called me at work and begged me to see him. I reluctantly agreed. We met at a restaurant where he told me that I was the only woman who treated him well. I was engaged at that time and told him about it. He started attacking my fiance saying that he was probably some ugly guy. I told him that this guy was actually someone I knew in high school. A very good looking guy that was popular and athletic. Yeah, don't get together with psychologically unfit men.
She is one of my favorite actresses
I love learning about these beauties you profile, but I like Hollywood less and less.
Same. It’s bitter sweet
YESSS! I’ve been waiting for this re-upload!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your channel! This story also reminds me Frances Farmer. So tragic.
I love Gene. She was a great actress. My favorite movie of hers is The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. So beautiful!
Mine, too!
@@starrycrown there is a spiritual message in that movie for me.
She's my all time favorite actress. Stunning woman❤
Gene Tierney legendary actress great beauty, magnificent screen presence so captivating.
I wish there were photos of Tierney towards the end of her life included in this video. It would be nice to have a perspective of the total woman.
Thanks so much for these videos. Let the truth come out. We've all be gaslit for decades.
👌
Love Gene Tierney movies. Favorite was Leave her to Heaven. Love your channel!
Hi mrsgriffin I don't think I've ever seen her films but one thing I will say is Karine channel is worth watching very interesting info she must work real hard on these videos well I had a question what films have you seen of Gene that you would recommend?
@ Leave her to heaven. Loved it
@mrsgriffin41
Thanks I'd have to check it out question do you like the golden age of films aka the black and white ones?
@ those are the best. Especially if they have a little cracking sound 😊
@mrsgriffin41
Yea I find them very interesting it was a different time plus the way they looked and spoke was different crazy everything changed once the 60s and 70s started
Good points on the mental illness due to possible eating disorders and identity crisis due to the beauty pressures and sexual abuse mental physical abuse. These kinds of stressors are on plenty of every day women plus pressure of career and family. It’s not just happening in Hollywood obviously as women are taken advantage of all the time. Not just women. Everyone.
Thank you for presenting Gene Tierney. I always list her as one of the top 3 most beautiful women of all time. When I say that, I usually get blank stares of people not knowing who she is or saying they don’t like the hairstyle back then so they don’t think she’s pretty.
As far as medicine now, yes it’s still barbaric. Can’t believe they pushed the “safe and effectives” on us with no data as to its safety. Time will tell…..
Gene was so hauntingly beautiful like a lot of those actresses from the 40s
Another great story. I loved Gene Tierney and thought she was a very good actress. I saw a lot of her movies and felt sad about her sad later life.
I love your breakdown videos. ❤
Great video! Especially your advice and thoughts towards the end. Hollywood is not necessarily the place of dreams 😢.
Omg I’m so happy! Gene has ALWAYS been my favourite!! She was my introduction to old Hollywood when I watched one of her black and white films- her acting blew me away and made up for the lack of colour!
You always do such wonderful videos. Thanks.
Leave her to heaven is my favorite Gene Tierney movie
She really was an angel from heaven, even her teeth and nose were beautiful. I'm also into books, we could have easily be good friens.
Gene Tierney was one of my favorite actresses. I loved her in Laura and Leave her to heaven. She was a very stunning woman. I watched an interview that she did when she was much older. She talked about having her front teeth filed down a bit because she thought that she had bunny teeth. She was very open about her problems with mental illness and the shock therapy she endured. She talked a little about her daughter Daria. I was really surprised that she only left Daria one dollar in her will and left all the rest of her money to her daughter Christina. I don't know if that was because Howard Hughes was paying for Daria to live in the facility she was in or what. It just seemed odd to me. Thanks for sharing this video!
I am not surprised she did Daria that way versus Christina. So many of that generation truly casted those children who were different and abnormal (in the eyes of the world) completely out of their hearts and minds, for the most part. I deeply hate that.
The place where Daria stayed would have pocketed it. That's why. Tierney/ Howard Hughes had already paid in full for Daria's care
What a beautiful lady. ❤ Hollyweird is getting worse in my mind every time I watch these stories. Sad!
Indeed
I never heard of her but she’s so pretty. Thanx for the educational video ❤
These are so well made Karine, the voice is very easy to listen . This is real journalism. Beauty can be a curse with all the demons lusting. The Gene Tierney's of the world can survive and excel. My girls had grandparents with Bibles in the house and were people of prayer. If you want fulfilling success give your life the One who died on the cross to save you. Not selling your soul to gain the world as many do today, only for destruction in the end.
Hollywood destroys beautiful women, it's so sad what goes on behind the scenes. Jean was a beautiful woman, I'm so sorry they took advantage. Thank you!
I believe that Gene Tierney and Rita Hayworth were the most beautiful actresses to come from that era. Sad, that both had mental health issues, and we're exploited by men in Hollywood. My other favorite is Ingrid Bergman.
Thank you so much for this video! My father was a huge fan and brought her to my attention. I absolutely love the movie "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" ❤
It’s the consistency for me ❤️❤️.. hey girl 😘😘.
Beautiful lady., Just gorgeous . I grew up on "The Golden Years of Hollywood ". Loved the glamor and mystic. I love of her movies, especially the "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir " and Laura. Those Old Hollywood bosses was dirty and evil. There's a actress by the name of Merle Oberon. She has a interesting story. May all of those beautiful ladies RIH ♥
You have so many followers. I’ve been here since the beginning it’s amazing seeing your channel grow
Just my opinion, but I think she was the most beautiful woman of classic Hollywood. She was more beautiful then Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, or Rita Hayworth. She was magnificent in “leave her to heaven”
It takes a Very Strong
Character to withstand such a physically focused world.
Having solid representation via agent with integrity important. AND all actors who start out with an acting school, then doing theatre, then TV, then movies seem to do better; learning and making progress slowly.
I LOVE your postings!
Thank you
Thank you for these deep dives great work. Hollywood is the devil's playground. So many sad horrible stories out there the Coreys suffered. Corey Feldman Corey Haim. Horrible.
I just visited her grave a couple of days ago. Howard Hughes grave is across the way from hers. My favorite movie with her "Leave Here to Heaven".
it's not only Hollywood that is dark but also other industries it is up to you to always decided if you want to sacrifice body just get ahead in life or you rather stay true to yourself and do things the right way
While my Mom tells a different story, my Dad once told me I was named for Gene Tierney's Laura. As a kid, I didn't know who she was, but since then I've become a big fan. While that one's my favorite, Leave Her to Heaven must've been difficult for her as a mother, esp. w/Daria. Back then in the early days of film, some considered acting as prostitution, maybe why some families and parents objected? Anyway, Gene Tierney's story is heartbreaking, but as you said, not unlike that of so many in Hollywood.😢
In England, women were simply not allowed on stage until the Restoration of King Charles I in May 1660. Then it was scandalous and it's true that many of the actresses were also 'ladies of the evening'. This attitude, that 'nice, well bred young ladies' didn't go into the acting profession has lasted, as we can see from the video well into the Forties!
I think Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner are the most beautiful of the old stars. They're not just beautiful, they're drop dead beautiful ❤
Yes!! Those are my top 3, too.
She was a beautiful woman with a classic Hollywood glamour.
She was a talented actress who starred in some of the most iconic films of the 1940s and 1950s.
She had a troubled personal life that made her relatable to the French public.
She spoke fluent French and had a connection to their culture.
The French are known for their appreciation of beauty, talent, and a good story. Gene Tierney had all of these things, and it is no wonder that she remains a beloved figure in France today.
I'm a huge sleep advocate myself. It's so important to keep a good sleep schedule for a healthy life. It helps reduce how many calories you need to keep your energy up. Clean water is just as important.
That lady was never fat. It’s horrible that people would say that and even worse that she listened to them smh. R. I. P. Beautiful soul.
Thanks for covering her. Gorgeous woman, and I love her teeth!
New to your channel ~ hope you covered Greer Garson another fav
Cicely Tyson is the TRUE QUEEN OF AGING GRACEFULLY 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯✊🏽
Wow she’s absolutely stunning! Easily the most beautiful actress of all time.
Gene Tierney was a beautiful, Oscar winning woman. It's really terrible how Hollywood used her. Studio heads, producers, directors etc. Used women to satisfy themselves. I love the Ghost and Mrs. Muir. The story is so beautiful. In Leave Her to Heaven. She was so evil. Unfortunately, all the est treatments were barbaric. She was bi-polar, but through all that happened to her, her superb acting still shone. RIP Beautiful lady.
I first saw Gene on tv as a teenager in the 80s loving to watch old movies! Saw Laura and she made me melt! What a gorgeous woman! Her, Lena Horne, Grace Kelly, Lauren Becall and a many others! Some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood don't feel beautiful! Its the industry and their standards! You come in there normal and leave damaged! Good job lady!! She was gorgeous!!💋💋💋💋💋❤❤💕💕💕💕👋👋👋
Gene was a very pretty woman...she was definately stacked...she obviously knew she was beautiful
What a knockout
Another thing all of these women (Gene, Vivien, Veronica) have in common, and I find fascinating, is they are Scorpios. I share the same bday as Lake. I’m also bipolar and have many of their similar experiences. Idk random thing I noticed. They were absolutely amazing.
Vivien had schizophrenia. I 'm a Leo which is irrelevant to the diagnosis and the illness.
Careful with mystical thinking or connecting dots that are not there.
Take Care of Yourself ❤
Love Yourself for who You are ❤
@@AmandaHugandKiss411 it was just that, mystical thinking. And Vivien was bipolar. There are multiple accounts, through biographies and first hand experiences, that clearly express she had manic depression id est; bipolar disorder
Regardless, thank you for the kind wishes!
Love your channel classic Hollywood
OMG! I was just thinking of Amanda Bynes when listening to this and then you said you are making a video on her.. THANK GOODNESS I believe she has been through this sheer hell from the industry!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Marilyn Monroe did not have Mexican roots. Her family moved to Mexico due to an agricultural situation in the states. The family learned to speak Spanish; however, this fact doesn't make Marilyn's roots/ancestry in the country of Mexico.
OMG THANK YOU FOR THESE videos I love your breakdowns
A lot of women in Hollywood at that time unfortunately got addicted to pills, pills to get up pills to go to sleep it was a never ending spiral.
And a graduate of the Brillamont charm school. Nobody had to teach her how to be charming.
All of your stores are fantastic, thank you.
Thank you. I’ve always said she was one of the most beautiful women. One of my favs during the golden era
Thank you so much for your videos I really enjoy them and your voice is very pleasant and the only voice that I can listen to . Keep up the good work ❤
Her Teeth Were Beautiful No Need for Change
She was a beauty. I don't recall your Marilyn video mentioning she was of Mexican heritage, gotta rewatch.
I think Marilyn's mom was born to white parents who lived in Mexico. I don't think they were Mexican
@@kaybee126 that makes more sense.
Thank you for all your videos. I love them.
