    My mom was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when I was 14 around the time A Woman Under the Influence was released. When I saw the film, I wept for days. I felt my mom was validated through Gena's performance, it released such a heavy burden from the stigma my family endured surrounding mental illness. I will never forget how it helped me cope with the isolation and pain i felt as a teenager. Thank you Gena for your bravery and tremendous gift, you are missed...may you rest in eternal peace and love. ❤❤❤

    She is a very special woman and a superb actress. How lucky it was that she and John Cassavetes met, they were so compatible - two remarkable people joining forces. He died too young but has left her with so many memories and gifts to treasure. A fascinating and moving interview - thanks for sharing!

    This is the best interview I've seen of Gena Rowlands that covers insights into her acting, her collaboration with her husband John Cassavetes, and the nuances of balancing her personal and professional life. Thank you for this.

    Gena Rowlands is such an INCREDIBLE actress; an equal match for John's incredible movies, writing, & acting! I've always loved them. I was living in Los Angeles when "Woman Under The Influence" opened. How Gena Rowlands did not win an Oscar for that performance is beyond comprehension.

      I was waiting for her to tear up after reading her comment. I didn't see any tear anywhere. Her right eye appears to be moist but it's just her low eye liner which makes it look as if it's gaping. She simply has shiny eyes. She held strong. Held it together.
