Jean Simmons

Happy birthday to

Jean Simmons

80 today.

Time can be very cruel to great acting talents like Jean Simmons. Unlike the bigger stars of the 50's, like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, Jean's no nonsense approach to hr performances and her less accentutated good looks mean she's been largely forgotten. However try to imagine anyone else giving Spartacus the love he needed to face the Romans and you'll realise how truly indespensible she is.
