Description

Gene Tierney: A Life of Hollywood Highs and Lows Gene Tierney's life was a rollercoaster of success and struggle, marked by the highs of stardom and the lows of personal turmoil. This biography explores the life of the actress who was almost immediately marked for success as a beauty queen, but struggled with the pressures of fame and the demands of maintaining her physical appearance. Tierney's early career faltered, despite her promising start on Broadway and in film, and she felt the stress and pressure to look her best, including adhering to a strict diet to maintain weight. She also became a heavy smoker in an attempt to lower her voice, which she complained made her sound too much like "an angry Minnie Mouse". This book delves into the highs and lows of Tierney's life, using her own quotes and a bibliography for further reading to provide a nuanced and insightful look at her life and career.
