Remembering Gena Rowlands
There are so few left and so few were as gifted, classy, beautiful inside and out as Gena Rowlands, a superb actor/actress, who died days back, at age 94.
She teamed with her great actor/director/independent film achiever, John Cassavetes in such seminal films as “Gloria” and “A Woman Under The Influence.”
Her performance in “Gloria,” one I first saw in the early days of cable/uninterrupted television in 1980, was spellbinding and truly resonates to this day.
Ms. Rowlands collaborated with her son NIck Cassavetes in “The Notebook,” another highly acclaimed film.
Recently I posted about her turn in an “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” episode, one of 4 in which Ms. Rowlands appeared, and that will be shown below.
She died surrounded by her family including husband, Robert “Bob” Forrest
An extraordinary woman and with John Cassavetes, a real great she went mostly independent, perhaps making less quantity, but certainly great quality!

I cite Ms. Rowlands early in the post below.
