Two extremely talented and creative artists. About their marriage difficulties: what marriage/relationship isn’t a challenge? They weathered the storms, and that’s all that matters. Thanks for the video!
@@marydalessio7588 your correct on marriage, during my time working for IKEA I attended a meeting with all the Southern California regional managers and Feodor Ingvar himself (drives up in a 1980s Volvo original owner) someone asked why does ikea furniture has a short lifespan he replies “ well I see ikea furniture like I see today’s marriage, 75% marriages last around 5 years if you can go past 5 years you’re good”…..I end up quitting and ended up worked for Ethan Allen.
I don't care to comment on their personal lives but as performers and artists, they both ranked with the best. Gena is beautiful and has such class. She is an elegant lady and played in so many different kinds of roles for which she has not been adequately recognized for. John was a genius whose work you viewed from afar and often wondered about. I hated it when he died. Gena also has some of the most beautiful and thick hair I've ever seen on a woman. To this day, I love her and hated it for her when her husband died. Many people love you Ms. Rolands and many more than you know are aware of John's contributions to the performing arts.
Wow 🥺 didn't know he was an Alcoholic! He was definitely a great writer, director and actor! Loved him in The Dirty Dozen! Gena is also just one of my favorite Legendary Stars! Loved her In The Notebook! I never thought she got the recognition well deserved! Her performance's were Oscar Worthy Indeed!
I love your comment. But, I'm sorry to report that there are still a lot of women who put up with narcissistic jerks like her husband. I hope she is feeling some relief now.
@@user-gj1me4mf5c Indeed she is.. I don't know your age but Gena and women of her generation were "class acts" to keep their families intact. They put up with the indignities..it's difficult for younger women to understand.When Cassavetes was sober he was a.. Dr Jekyll. Sad...Gena loved him...still does. 😥
@@FactsVerse Which Columbo episode? Goodness that is a hard one!. Perhaps one of my favorites is with the piece of cheese in the bin at the crime scene. Columbo was just reading about bite marks or teeth marks are as important as fingers prints. Oh yes, one more with Dick Van Dyke as the murderer of his wife.
Gena Rowland é uma das melhores atrizes do cinema de todos os tempos. Muito substimada, nunca chegou a ser uma star, mas sempre manteve prestígio entre os diretores, tanto assim que no final de "Tudo sobre minha mãe", Almodóvar agradece às atrizes que o emocionaram e o primeiro nome que aparece é o dela.
@@FactsVerse Gena Rowlands is for me the best American actress of all times. I love her face, these expressions. My favourite is "Gloria". Love from Germany.
He was an exceptional actor, and like Clift and Brando, acted with extreme realism. I loved his films, but one of my favorites of his performances is a Columbia episode,called “Etude in Black,” where he plays a orchestra conductor who murders his mistress so he doesn’t lose his financially comfortable, successful life, thanks to his wealthy wife (played by Blythe Danner). The chemistry between he and Peter Falk (his great friend), is obvious as they joust for respective success in their respective goals; to escape the truth or prove it. A must watch episode. ❤
I'm so glad you made a video about John Cassavetes...... he was a genius and deserves all the attention he can get..... Facts Verse continues to excel ....:) !!!!
I love John cassavates. I’ve only seen him in the dirty dozen but he made such an impression that he’s one of my favorites somehow. He did perfect in that movie
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
He was a really good actor, but couldn’t get past type-casting as a slimy greaseball character. She was just great in every single thing she ever did! FYI - her name is pronounced Jeh-na, not Gee-na . . .
@@elizabethlinsay9193 I find this on most sites, be it names or locations, the internet can easily provide the correct pronunciation but for some reason, narrators decline to investigate.
he doesn't seem like a prize of a husband or a father. He was also a big time alcoholic. Cassavetes died prematurely, aged 59. The cause was long-term cirrhosis brought on by longer-term alcoholism. He was a great director, but slapping an actress before a scene....? You should do that nowadays. You would be over. And Gena Rowlands putting up with all of his behavior, well.... - who are we to judge. Besides - I also thought Rowlands best movie was"Requim for a dream." She was flawless in that one.
John Cassavetes and his two best friends, Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara made for a pungent movie trio. Falk is magnificent playing Gena's husband in A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, "she's just unusual" he keeps repeating to the neighbors, while Ben is outstanding in John's venture into film noir, THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE, in the role of "Cosmo", an L.A. strip club owner who owes the mob his life. Dismissed by many critics during his lifetime as a self-indulgent crackpot director, John finally got his due in his final years as "the father of indy cinema".
Miss Rowlands wasin a movie with Ben Gazzara. He was a regular customer at the restaurant where she worked, the became close, then he stopped showing up. It was very touching 😢

He was handsome and intelligent and gifted but he was also a small man, at five feet seven inches, which is probably an exaggeration. I think that played a part in his anger issues, and in his self image. He resented that he was short, given that most Hollywood actors were far bigger and taller. He was an abusive jerk, and totally selfish. He was not some saint in any way. He was just a handsome actor film director who became a drunk and a cheat.
Were you his private psychiatrist? You are really projecting a lot and based on what - what you read in tabloids and TH-cam videos such as this, which is a version of a tabloid headline/story. He acted just to get money to fund his scripts and movies he directed. So, why would he be jealous of taller actors, when acting was not even his passion in life? It was simply a necessity to get funding, because his movie scripts and ideas were "different" and not mainstream.
@@kimlinden2280He/she is stating her opinion. Nothing more. Nothing less. Look into a mirror: YOU ARE projecting a lot as well via your comment, so lay off.
GinanRowlands is my favorite actress. So gracious and beautiful. John was handsome too. I think the long suffering she did because of him made her a deeper performer.
She hasn't described her 30 or so years with John as suffering. Why should strangers, just because a TH-cam video says they were "different" from each other? When John was asked in an interview if he and Gena argued, his answer was: "“I believe that any two people who disagree should really go as far as they can, and I think we do: screaming, yelling, petty acts of hostility and cruelty - but it’s all meaningless. It’s meaningless if that essential love is there. Like a rubber band that you stretch out, no matter how far you pull it - and even if it stings snapping back - it returns, the love reappears.” They stayed together a long time. She was a strong woman, in her own right, and wouldn't have stayed with him until his death, if she didn't want to.
I was an immediate fan seeing "The Dirty Dozen : back in the 1970 s. Always thought he should have had a few more great roles before he got immersed in his own productions. Big thing that is so important. He couldn't handle the booze. For a short while maybe. Just watch 2 nd season Columbo. God, his eyes were ultra bloodshot. He got early Chirrosis. I think if a person like John stopped drinking, he would have had some real nice years with Gena
Gena Rowlands is a lovely , actress .But that man wouldnt last with me ,, because i wouldnt have the patience to put up with that s--- Facts Verse thank you for this wonderful and heartwarming video.Happy Thanksgiving to ypu and yohr family and God bless you always.🌹💖💖🎉
They were married around 30 years. She still spoke fondly of Cassavetes in the decades following his death. No one can judge a marriage from the outside, especially not based on a TH-cam tabloid style video that describes their marriage as "troubled" and "hiding things". What does that even mean? Every single marriage has "private aspects", whether you are a celebrity or not. Because they don't share everything about their marriage to the public means they "hid" things? The headline is terrible and written to encourage clicks, when about the only thing the video says is that they were "different" from each other, in some ways. There are all kinds of successful marriages, ones where two people are alike in their personalities and tastes, and others where people are opposite in numerous ways. There is not one "successful formula".
Why, as a society, do we claim these women are strong? Hillary Clinton, Jackie Kennedy and countless others stayed with these revolting bastards. That doesn't equate strength to me.
Love Gena, so talented! Her husband was a bit of a bore! Watched him being interviewed one night on tv while he kept tipping his chair backwards and eventually fell. After commercial break he didn’t return, he hadn’t been hurt, just a jerk!
Wow, I did not know that Gena was married to John,!!! I Loved her in Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock. Her last picture in Notebook!! I like John in the Dirty Dozen!!
She was in many of John's movies that he directed. Did her best work in those movies: Gloria, A Woman Under the Influence, Opening Night, to name a few.
Figured he was crazy being from NY Shitty. Together they made magic; both were emotionally complicated, brilliant and innovative filmmakers. Bless you Gena! 🙏 💖
First, I usually stop listening to any Rowlands/Cassavetes story when she is referred to as “Geena.” She’s been around for 70+ years, you should know it’s pronounced “Genna.” Also, I’ve never seen any documentation that they considered divorce. Citation, please?
She has spoken fondly about her 30 or so years with Cassavetes. Why do strangers think she should have lived her life differently? And, that it's "bad". She chose to stay with him until his death and she speaks lovingly about him, in the decades following his death.
I’m happy to hear I’m not the only guy to walk around with a banana in my butt cheeks to not be appreciated. In my case, my pastor told me to never come and be an alter boy again. Harsh words for a 16 year to have to hear… but(t) I got over it before to picnic later in the afternoon. Apparently, some older ladies in the congregation thought my antics were interesting enough to invite over for dinner that evening.
Why don't you leave them alone. Their relationship is nobody's business including yours. You must have a very un-fulfilling life if all you have to do is slam celebrity's private lives.
I admire her very much. I think she was his muse ? Artists are complicated beings(I am one, so I should know). We don't know what went on once the doors were closed. Even regular people have an outward appearance they portray to the world, and their true, relaxed version of themself that very few if anyone ever sees. I dont doubt they had their differences. But it does say a lot, that they accomplished so much and loved one another very much. They were both great, but they were even better when they worked together.
This shoddy piece about two great legends made me cringe every time the narrator said "Jeena." Her name was pronounced "Jen-na!" Really inferior work here. An insult to the great couple.
Who hears anything about John Cassevetes' movies now? "husband's","woman under influence, etc. If they were such great classics, why have they totally disappeared? Can't be a classic if nobody ever sees you.
What makes you think they have disappeared? Most of his movies are all on streaming platforms, such as Amazon Prime, Criterion Channel, Apple TV, etc. Those streaming services don't keep movies in their catalogue if no one watches. I just watched Gloria again on Prime, this week. Why would you think that no one sees them? Anyone who is interested in independent films most likely knows Cassavetes.
Yes, she was a force in Gloria. I don't recall seeing another action movie, starring a woman before she played that role in the late 70's. I watched it again, on streaming, this week.
..🎄ELAINEWASHINGTON 🎄.. GENA ROWLANDS IS A WONDERFUL ACTRESS . I especially, appreciated her acting talents in the .".NOTEBOOK " AND HER COSTAR JAMES GARNER. GARNER WAS EXCELLENT ACTOR. I LOVED THE BEAUTIFUL MOVIE.

Great actress probably a codependent enabler, too bad, she deserved more.
She has spoken fondly about her 30 or so years with Cassavetes. Why do strangers think she should have lived her life differently? And, that it's "bad". She chose to stay with him until his death and she speaks lovingly about him, in the decades following his death.
stop calling her geeena, its Gena like jena
Gena pronounces her name like “Jenna”, by the way.
Thanks for the info! What other types of video would you like to see?
She pronounced it "Jenna".
She still does. She’s still alive ♥️
Her name is GENA not Jeana!!! I knew them well. Please be respectful!u You are so off.. with your superficial and tacky interpretation.
I’m happy to hear I’m not the only guy to walk around with a banana in my butt cheeks to not be appreciated. In my case, my pastor told me to never come and be an alter boy again. Harsh words for a 16 year to have to hear… but(t) I got over it before to picnic later in the afternoon. Apparently, some older ladies in the congregation thought my antics were interesting enough to invite over for dinner that evening.
Why don't you leave them alone. Their relationship is nobody's business including yours. You must have a very un-fulfilling life if all you have to do is slam celebrity's private lives.
Her name is pronounced Jenna, not Jeena
John was always very sexy to me. :)
Glad to know that you're a fan of John. In your opinion, what is his finest film?
It's pronounced like Jenna, not Jean-uh.

She was fantastic! "Gloria". He always seemed like a narcissist. He was really convincng as the satanist in "the Exorcist".
Gena is my favorite actress! Cassavetes wasn’t in The Exorcist. Are you thinking Rosemary’s Baby?
@@jennifermariejoyce You're right! My two favorite scarey movies ever!
@@margaretlouiseable Agree!! I love Cassavetes, narcissist or not. Pure genius. I just visited his grave this past week.
Not Gee-na. It is Gin-ah.
No it's not it's pronounced Jenna 🙄
I admire her very much. I think she was his muse ? Artists are complicated beings(I am one, so I should know). We don't know what went on once the doors were closed. Even regular people have an outward appearance they portray to the world, and their true, relaxed version of themself that very few if anyone ever sees. I dont doubt they had their differences. But it does say a lot, that they accomplished so much and loved one another very much. They were both great, but they were even better when they worked together.
This shoddy piece about two great legends made me cringe every time the narrator said "Jeena." Her name was pronounced "Jen-na!" Really inferior work here. An insult to the great couple.
John Cassavetes was the lover of Meryl Streep !!!
Facts please?
No, John Cazale. Look it up.
@@katherineferguson9880 Yep. John Cazale was the love of Streep’s life.
No shit…
It’s GIN-AH. Not JEANA

Congratulations, we would love also see you be first on our next video! Are you up to our challenge?
He killed animals in his movies while filming.
Who hears anything about John Cassevetes' movies now? "husband's","woman under influence, etc. If they were such great classics, why have they totally disappeared? Can't be a classic if nobody ever sees you.
I've heard of his films a lot! But I'm a huge cinephile and way more into quirky auteur films than mainstream schlock.
What makes you think they have disappeared? Most of his movies are all on streaming platforms, such as Amazon Prime, Criterion Channel, Apple TV, etc. Those streaming services don't keep movies in their catalogue if no one watches. I just watched Gloria again on Prime, this week. Why would you think that no one sees them? Anyone who is interested in independent films most likely knows Cassavetes.
some really obnoxious populism there.
Playing by heart is my favorite. I first saw her in Gloria she was like a superhero in that movie
Yes, she was a force in Gloria. I don't recall seeing another action movie, starring a woman before she played that role in the late 70's. I watched it again, on streaming, this week.
