Arriving in Hollywood in 1950 to launch her American film career,
Jean Simmons (1929-2010) had already appeared in 18 British films
and was best known for her portrayal of Ophelia in Laurence
Olivier's Hamlet. She soon became a favorite female face working
with some of filmmaking's greats and acted opposite many Hollywood
A-listers. Two of her most popular films-Guys and Dolls (1955) and
Spartacus (1960)-were international box-office hits, and in her
seven decades-long career she collected numerous awards and honors
including a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and two Oscar nominations as
Best Actress. Despite the accomplishments and accolades, radiant
beauty, and stunning versatility, Simmons is considered by many to
be an underrated artist, too often handed more comfortable leading
female roles than those that could've elevated her to the level of
super stardom experienced by some of her peers. This, the first
full-length biography of Simmons, fills a gap in film and
performing arts studies, and includes extensive notes and
photographs.
