The world has lost another great actress, Jennifer Jones. My introduction to her was in the film The Song of Bernadette. She was in her late teens when she auditioned and got the part of the young peasant French girl who had visions of the Mary. She was a quintessential example of innocence in that film. Of course, in later years she'd play a variety of roles- truly a versatile actress. I am going to have to check more of her films. Her role in The Towering Inferno with Fred Astaire was the last film I saw her in at the old Alexandria Theatre in SF. She was truly a class act. I don't think we'll see the likes of her again. She was an original. A lady. Rest in peace, Jennifer. And now you can actually see her and converse with her.
