Yet another Hollywood icon has passed away. Jean Simmons. My introduction to her was the traditional Easter Sunday showing of
The Robe back in the 60s on the ABC TV network. She played "Diana" - Richard Burton's love interest in the film. Looking back, Miss Simmons definitely defined grace, class, and beauty. Truly something that is lacking somewhat in Hollywood today. Of course, after The Robe, I saw her in many other notable films...Black Narcissus, Guys and Dolls, Spartacus, and even an episode of Star Trek- The Next Generation. She also play the Collins family matriarch in the 1991 remake of Dark Shadows. Little by little we are losing those men and women who made films we now calls "classics." If you are not familiar with Jean Simmons, and love the movies, take time to check out her films. Thank you Miss Simmons.
