She was one of the most stunningly beautiful actresses ever. She had much sadness and tragedy in her life, but at least her last years in Texas were happy.
In 1984, I saw her in a Houston supermarket. She'd gotten rotund, and no one else paid any attention to her. She looked wonderful in a simple brown pantsuit with a large black belt, flat heeled shoes, light makeup. There she was, pushing a supermarket cart like any other shopper, looking somewhat depressed because the store was packed, and she knew she'd have quite a long wait in a checkout lane. She pushed her cart into the aisle next to mine. It was unmistakable who she was. When she realized I'd recognized her, she dropped her eyelids, and I, not being a clod, didn't look at her again.
Ava Gardner, Liz Taylor, Hedy Lamarr. Linda Darnell, Yvonne De Carlo, Loretta Young, Gina Lollo, Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth. Buddy , you've got clouds in your coffee if you think Gene Tierney was the most beautiful actress.
AwwwBennet. I hope she heard that. This was the year she stepped out on a ledge on the 14th floor in manhattan. She had been distraught but talked back in. Such a beautiful and broken soul. I’m glad she found a loving husband to help heal One of the best and classiest women on screen
Bless her. You can tell she's hurting here, there's like a certain sadness etched in her face. She was so strong to put up with all she went through and a great actress too.
Well others have already said what I was going to say, which is that Gene Tierney was one of, if not the most beautiful woman to grace the silver screen.
From Wikipedia: "In late December 1957, Tierney stepped from her mother's apartment in Manhattan onto a ledge 14 stories up and stood there for about 20 minutes, in what was considered a suicide attempt." This is four months before that.
The unforgettable star of "Laura" , "Leave her to heaven", "The ghost and Mrs. Muir" and "Night and the city" was one of the most beautiful and elegant actresses ever to appear in the screen.
This episode shows than when Ernie gets serious he can nail the identity of the mystery guest. I find Ernie to be a funny guy. With just the right amount of funnyness for the show. His tragic death was a great loss to all of us who like to laugh.
I see below that the lovely Ms. Tierney's almost too beautiful to be believed appearance is acknowledged and admired by one and all...simply breathtaking...!
She is amazingly beautiful. In her twenties she was drop dead perfect gorgeous. Now I must go watch The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, 1947 with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.
I didn't see anyone address the fact that she suffered from serious bouts of depression for years of her life...Now that would take the bloom off of any rose...I felt so sorry for her!
Truly, one of the greatest beauties ever to come out of Hollywood. She was just 36 years old here, and hadn't made a movie in over two years since "The Left-Hand of God" with Humphrey Bogart. Ms. Tierney suffered from mental illness, and underwent extensive shock treatment after production on that film had ended. Just four months after this appearance on CBS's "What's My Line," in late December of 1957, not too far from the CBS studios, she stepped onto a ledge from her mother's Manhattan apartment, 14 stories above ground. From her autobiography: "“I must have stood there for 20 minutes....” I was totally without fear, and I thought, ‘What’s the point of living?’ ” "[What saved me] was vanity. I thought of what I’d look like when I hit the ground-like a scrambled egg. That didn’t appeal to me. If I was going to die, I wanted to be in one piece.” Gene Tierney, a chronic smoker, passed away of emphysema at the age of 70, on November 6, 1971. R.I.P., Eliza...
GENE is in her more mature yearz here but still bueautiful. You cant appreciate her beauty in black n white . She had the most incredible green eyes. Prefect bone structure and features. Go back and look at color pics of her in her 20s. None can compare! Classic beauty
The talented Ernie Kovacs was killed in an automobile accident, as a single passenger 5 years later in 1962. His then wife, Edie Adams spent years paying off his tax debts (Ernie was against the IRS taxation system; Ernie spent years being garnished 90% of his wages by IRS liens, while working in film and TV.... Edie also raised both of his daughters from his previous marriage, their other daughter Mia, born in June 1959, during Edie and Ernie's marriage died in a vehicle accident in 1982.

@@peliche77 she was a very beautiful woman. Along with Ava Gardner Vivian Leigh And a few other exceptionally beautiful woman. However THE most beautiful woman to ever appear on film was the most BEAUTIFUL woman of all time MISS ELIZABETH TAYLOR not just a fact billions agree . God bless you Elizabeth RIP
Gene was 36 or 37 here, still young! But she had undergone some 27 shock treatments to try to alleviate her deep depression. Gene appeared on WML a short 4 months before stepping out on a window ledge 14 floors up, subsequently being placed in another clinic. I would say what we are seeing in her face is severe stress.
Only Virna Lisi and Hedy Lamar come close to the beauty of Gene Tierney. My favorite Gene Tierney movie is "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" and then "Laura" then "Heaven Can Wait" and then "Leave Her to Heaven"! I am a Merchant Marine and her opposite of Rex Harrison as Captain Greg is one of my all time favorite movies. Her husband Oleg Cassini was an incredible talent in his own right and a heavy influence on the style of the 60s when I was growing up. She is also a tragic figure having contracted measles from a fan while pregnant. She played opposite of some great leading men (as per the aforementioned movies) Rex Harrison, Dana Andrews, Don Ameche, Cornell Wilde, etc. etc.
Gene Tierney, so beautiful Hollywood came after HER (while on trip to Los Angeles Gene and her family happened to visit a famous movie studio for a tour and she was spotted). The rest, as they say, was history
25:10 Bennett says "Gene Tierney is the most beautiful girl we've had on this program in a long, long time." This in a month that featured Jayne Mansfield, Jane Russell, Edie Adams, and Zsa Zsa Gabor! :)
Hedy Lamar, Claudette Colbert, Ingrid Bergman, Vivien Leigh, Linda Darnell and Gene Tierney: they were- at least to me- the most prominent actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Wit, talent, class and beauty... all rolled into one- Gene !!!
Two real golden age icons on show here. Only my opinion but Ms Tierney one of the most beautiful women ever to grace a movie screen and Ms Francis with the most seductive voice ever.
She was an absolute KNOCKOUT......& beyond that she was stunningly beautiful on the inside also and i loved that about her.. I watch her in movues and am mesmerized by her eyes
@hopicard Oh, Gene Tierney was beautiful!! Such natural, real, and clean lines and look to her. She started in Films at age 19 or 20. I watched some of her first movie. She looked like a totally different person than how she looked in say "Laura". She was young, and all "raggedy", dirty. Play a poor gal.
Gene played a farm girl daughter of real hicks who (Gene) kept chasing after Ward Bond whenever he showed up at their shack. Classic bumpkin girl...all sex, dirty face, and the enticing poses she struck were killer. John Ford film.....I remember Bond turning a car over by crawling under it and lifting it over on his back.....
John's comment at the end indicates that it was difficult to get some people to get the polio vaccine, just as we currently have problems getting people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite the difficulty that John mentioned, polio has since been eradicated from almost every country in the world. It is only found today in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
You need to read up on the polio vaccine. How many people died taking it. Covid has no comparison to polio either. And the Covid vac did not prevent you from getting or spreading the virus.
gene's career effectively over at this point, bipolar disorder taking over her life, something they called manic depression in the era of this show. she was also forced to take "shock therapy" (a year or two prior to this appearance) which gene said damaged her memory, and who knows what else. this appearance was probably an attempt to make her seem "cured", but as you can tell she's struggling with concentration and seems confused at points. daly trying to consult gene about being a "carnivore", it looks like he just gave up and let the panel move on.
1957 would be a tough year from Ms. Tierney. According to wikipedia: "In late December 1957, Tierney, from her mother's apartment in Manhattan, stepped onto a ledge 14 stories above ground and remained for about 20 minutes in what was considered a suicide attempt.[14] Police were called, and afterwards, Tierney's family arranged for her to be admitted to the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas. The following year, after treatment for depression, she was discharged. Afterwards, she worked as a sales girl in a local dress shop with hopes of integrating back into society,[14] but she was recognized by a customer, resulting in sensational newspaper headlines. Years later, she would make a comeback of sorts in 1980, with her last appearance in the television series Scruples, which I remember well
John mentions the fifty teenagers in the audience. They were totally quiet. Today there would be whoops and hollers. Maybe they were told ahead of time to be quiet. John liked order in the theater.

Gene Tierny was very beautiful in the 1940s, but she looks strangely old here to be only 36. I would have guessed she was in her mid to late 40s
Now I know the overbite Hawkeye Pierce was referring to... Just lovely
I remember that. "What happened?". "______ just kissed Gene Tierney on the mouth!". "If he harmed that overbite, I'll kill him!"
Some would have paid good money to be as good looking as one of Gene's toe nails.

According to wikipedia: "In late December 1957, Tierney, from her mother's apartment in Manhattan, stepped onto a ledge 14 stories above ground and remained for about 20 minutes in what was considered a suicide attempt.[14] Police were called, and afterwards, Tierney's family arranged for her to be admitted to the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas. The following year, after treatment for depression, she was discharged. Afterwards, she worked as a sales girl in a local dress shop with hopes of integrating back into society,[14] but she was recognized by a customer, resulting in sensational newspaper headlines.
Years later, she would make a comeback of sorts in 1980, with her last appearance in the television series Scruples, which I remember well
