Jennifer Jones Redeems Herself
 |
| Jennifer Jones as Nicole Driver |
I have to say that when someone redeems themselves in my eyes, I have to admit when I'm wrong. Jones is on my Least Favorite Actresses list, and she did a fantastic job in this film. I finally watched Tender is the Night (1962), based on the book by one of my favorite authors, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jennifer Jones plays, Nicole Driver, a rich mental patient whom Dr. Dick Driver, played by Jason Robards, cured and then marries.

Jones played the role to perfection. Robards was admirable as well. The film is mature and thought-provoking, if not for the bright colors one might almost think it depressing. But that's a Fitzgerald story. If only it didn't have Tom Ewell in it. Could someone please describe the appeal of him to me?

Least Favorite Actresses Part 2
Least Favorite Actresses - Part 2
Shirley MacLaine
Jean Simmons
Jennifer Jones
Betsy Drake
Jayne Mansfield
Mamie Van Doran
Marie Wilson
Some I just find annoying like Betsy Drake, some just don't seem to have enough fire in them like Jennifer Jones, and apparently I don't like the dumb blond persona of Jayne, Mamie, and Marie.
Up next - I'll pick on the men.
