AI notes: Gene Tierney, the celebrated American actress renowned for her performances in Laura (1944) and Leave Her to Heaven (1945), passed away on November 6, 1991, at the age of 70 in her Houston, Texas home due to complications from emphysema, a condition linked to her long-term smoking. Born on November 19, 1920, in Brooklyn, New York, Tierney became one of Hollywood’s leading stars in the 1940s, admired both for her beauty and her acting talent. Her life, however, was marked by personal struggles, including a battle with mental illness in the late 1950s and the challenges of raising a daughter with developmental disabilities. After marrying oilman W. Howard Lee in 1960, she retired from film in the mid-1960s and lived a quieter life in Houston, outliving her husband by a decade. Tierney’s legacy endures through her iconic screen performances and her enduring influence on Hollywood’s Golden Age; she is interred at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston.
