Gene Tierney

[Boomer]

I just ordered an old book about Gene at ABE Books which finds a lot of old Hollywood stuff that is very rare. I can't wait to read it, and I hope we can all keep coming back here to trade thoughts!
Thanks to all of you!!

Really! I have heard about it... I haven't picked it up yet! I really should go to borders and buy it this weekend!! I really want to watch that Biography A&E had on her! I bought the DVD and under special features it has it! I cant wait to watch it! Have you started reading it yet? How is it so far?

It's called "Self Portrait" (Gene w/ Mickey Herskowitz) Wyden Books '79/Berkley Books (Paperback) '80- It is wonderful! I have only gotten a few chapters in but I love it already; there was so much about her that I didn't know, her family background and upbringing (And I think the copy I got was $1.00 at ABE!!) I recommend it highly! Please let me know what you think, too!

I have this book. It is good but sad in parts too
In case anyone didn't know, if you buy the dvd for "Laura", it has the Biography special on her as an extra feature

I never knew that! Thanks for the info!!!

 

[Tierney]

I am about to watch the A&E biography on her! It came with the DVD of Laura and we lost the dvd controler haha so I was like ohhh no! thank god for a dvd player via computer! hehe.

I just inherited her emerald ring for my graduation present! I am so excited! hehe. :-)

 

[Boomer]

You're so lucky!! Maybe you can post a picture of it sometime, I'd love to see it!!

 

[Tierney]

yeah i definitely will! unfortunately i dont have a digital camera (the down points of having budget loving parents lol) but when i go to my friend rodellee's this week who does have one i will upload it! :-) it is really delicate looking... it is one of those thin ring bands with emerald encrusted all the way around... (if that makes any sense lol) it isnt like a huge jewel. It is so old! hehe I am very excited... My biggest fear is losing it!! I lose all my jewelry so this time i am never ever taking it off haha even if that means taking a shower and not removing it... haha. oh gosh now when i get married... i swear i will lose that ring all the time. :-( lol. I should post some pictures of my grandmother her sister! hehe i have them scanned. I dont know if you want me to post them since they arent of gene... but her sibling... but if you do then let me know! i would be more than happy to share! hehe.

 

[Boomer]

Sure! You can always PM them so no one gets upset (?rolleyes: I'd like to see them! AND I need to get the Laura DVD to see the Biography show, especially after reading the book!
