Jean Simmons starred in some of my favorite films to date, such as "Hamlet" (as shone above) 1948, "The Grass Is Greener," 1961, and also appeared in the more recent film of "How to Make An American Quilt," 1994. |

Jean Simmons also starred in the classic "Great Expectations" as Estella, a beautiful young girl living with Mrs. Havisham. Jean looks strikingly like a young Vivien Leigh in this photo, which may have been why Laurence Olivier eventually chose her to play Ophelia in his "Hamlet" |

Jean Simmons shares with Cary Grant a handle on an Academy Award in 1958. The two actors, though both nominated, never won awards fromt their nominations. Grant eventually won an honorary award from the Academy in 1970. |
