Martin Scorsese is among those paying tribute to Gene Tierney, the Academy Award-nominated American actress who was a leading lady in Hollywood throughout the 1940s and '50s.

Among his many achievements, Gene Hackman also had some flops, with his final film 'Welcome to Mooseport' leading to some conflict behind the scenes.

The Gene Tierney season is a sellout and when I took the opportunity to see another of her great film noirs, Whirlpool, half of the audience consisted of millennials.
