Jennifer Jones Tribute
Here are two glorious songs performed by the great Ed Ames, chosen to illustrate the beauty and many moods of legendary actress Jennifer Jones. Jennifer Jones (born Phylis Lee Isley in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1919) is an American actress. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in “The Song of Bernadette” (1943). Jones’ parents toured the Midwest in a traveling tent show they owned and operated. Jones attended Monte Cassino Junior College in Tulsa and Northwestern University before transferring to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City in 1938. It was here she met and fell in love with fellow acting student Robert Walker. The two were married on January 2, 1939. They returned to Tulsa for a 13-week radio program arranged by her father, and then headed for Hollywood. Isley landed two small roles, first in a 1939 John Wayne western titled “New Frontier”, followed by a serial entitled “Dick Tracy’s G-Men”. In these two films, she was billed as “Phyllis Isley” (Phyllis now spelled with two Ls). However, when she and Walker failed a screen test for Paramount Pictures, they decided to return to New York City. While Walker found steady work in radio programs, Isley worked part-time modeling hats for the Powers Agency while looking for possible acting jobs. When she learned of auditions for the lead role of Claudia in Rose Frankens hit play of the same name, she presented herself to David O. Selznicks New York office but fled in tears after what …

Many parents want to teach their kids the value of cash. It is not enough to tell them about money. Kids understand by example and parents should remember that how they spend and save their cash is a lesson they teach their children every day. Every parent would like to instill values in their kids that will help them, as they grow older. One of the very renowned manners to give your kids some freedom is by allowing them to have a part time job. Kids make money at part time jobs, a great place to start teaching them the value of their money. But today, Internet has took place as a great tool for kids to start making great money from home.

I love her forever.
A classic beauty. She could have different looks depending on the role she was in. Her movies are also classics.
I am surprised that Jennifer didn’t make any more movies after the Towering Inferno. She prroved she could still deliver a performance. It is a shame that most of her film only focused on her youth.
Anyone doing anything special to commemorate this talented and enchanting woman who we lost in December? I don’t get TCM anymore ( my carpet cleaning business is very slow during the Jan-Feb season- can’t afford it). They usually do a day in commemoration when a star passes. Jennifer was excellent at her craft. Easily in my top ten. May she rest in peace.
She left us with some great memories.
simple stunning, and hard working she was improving
beyong her self
She had perfect timing to go with those perfect looks. Black and white filming gave so many opportunities to project that color just can’t do. In fact every once in a while I’ll get a glimpse of someones gray teeth in an old movie, and think, ” Wow, so what if black and white didn’t work. I’m just glad it did. The irony is that it’s the women with the most peculiar mouths that transformed on black and white. My other favorite is Barbara Stanwyck. I could watch her and Jennifer Jones talk 4ever!
My very movie with Jennifer Jones was a Farewell to Arms with Rock Hudson. Her classic line “I hate it when it rains, darling” sends shivers up and down my spine as she used the line twice, once in an early scene in the movie when Rock Hudson gives her the muscle and shortly before she passes away in the birth of their child. I frequently make love to my wife whenever we watch this movie together, I cum pretty hard too!
Truly one of the great natural beauties in Hollywood, as well as a damned good actress.
This is awesome! Remembering Jennifer Jones in “Song of Bernadette” and “Love is a many splendour thing”
A classic actress and a great one! Thanks for posting this song “Some Enchanted Evening! Thought about my parents. It was one of their fave.
