Jun 4, 2011 - @BernardProfitendieu Gene did not need to practice was smoking, sadly Gene started smokiing very early on in her career in an effort to deepen the the tone of her voice, it was eventually to bring about her death from Emphysema. By the time Gene made the movie Laura Gene had been smoking quite a number of years. Though I agree it does come across as a little strained and awkward looking, however, though Gene was known as 'one take Tierney, there were many retakes by La Shalle, photo/lighting.

Aug 26, 2011 - Sorry, she doesn't have the "velvet" sounding quality to pull this song or any soft ballad off. Her voice is too hoarse in a pop/rock way. It's painful to hear her try and hold some of the higher notes.

Sep 10, 2011 - @chapelhilldame I think she's done at least 4 albums of songs from roughly this time period. The only one I have (for sure) is her "Moonlight Serenade" album. Working on tracking down the older albums in this style.

Sep 11, 2011 - "I have landed upon a foreign shore, and burned my ships behind me. These letters were the last thing that held me in sympathy with any remnant or belonging of the old life. Henceforth that life and all that appertains to it are as dead to me and as far removed from me as if I were become a denizen of another world." --- LAURA (Mark Twain, "The Gilded Age")
