      Carmine Auditore: It was easy because it’s not a very good remake and unfortunately part of the reason is her. She’s stiff and slightly too old. Her husband, David O. Selznick pushed her into projects that weren’t always the best for her. I know she bought the rights to TRRMS OF ENDEARMENT but was considered too old and project was developed with Shirley MacLaine who was excellent.

    She was shy, insecure, clumsy and strong. A perfect combination for her role as Bernadette. I can only imagine Audrey Hepburn as an equal Bernadette. I wish, Jennifer would have done more comedy. She had perfecr timing, but because of her beauty she often was cast in sexy roles like Duel in the sun or Ruby Gentry.

    With The Towering Inferno, Jones proved she can continue on with more "mature" parts, but unfortunately, she appeared to be age obsessed and let it got to her when she was told she was too old for Terms of Endearment. We were robbed of many could've been performances from her.

    If that's the definition of Troubled and Tragic, you should do a video of my Aunt Celice. She attracted an already married man. Celice was troubled by continuing the relationship, but the Universe told Celice it was True Love. He divorced his wife and married Celice. After 7 months she was pregnant. Then her husband left her for another True Love. Now Celice lives in a rundown studio in Cleveland, her son troubled and violent.
