Gene Tierney in Shanghai Express, 1941

We celebrated Gene Tierney's birthday in this lovely month of November. A lot of my favorite actresses had birthdays this month, I wonder if that means something?

Anyway, I did some research on Gene Tierney before I did a photo shoot and found out that I love her. She has some interesting quotes that I really relate to. I hope you do too.

Here are some Gene Tierney quotes:

I was not cut out to be a rebel.

I hole up now and then do nothing for days but read.

About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.

I was fine when it came to cheering up others, not so fine with myself.

I loved to eat. For all of Hollywood's regards, I was hungry for most of those twenty years.

I was going to live on my salary or go down swinging.



I love her lace dress bodice, statement necklace, ring, giant earrings and curled updo. She really is a beauty!

Of course, all of these things are not appropriate for daily wear. So I chose ONE thing about her look to recreate for the daytime. I chose the statement necklace and a black top.

I like to wear darker colors on top and lighter on the bottom. I'm proportioned a little bigger on top, so when I wear the correct colors the correct way, it makes me look more proportional.
