Jane Wyman
January 5, 1917-September 10, 2007Jane Wyman was a movie star in the 1940s and 50s. Her most famous films include The Yearling with Gregory Peck, Magnificent Obsession with Rock Hudson, The Glass Menagerie with Kirk Douglas, and Billy Wilder's alcoholic classic The Lost Weekend with Ray Milland. She won an Oscar for her wordless performance in Johnny Belinda, as a small-town deaf-mute rape victim. In You're in the Army Now she gave Regis Toomey a kiss lasting three minutes and five seconds, which some cinema experts cite as the longest kiss in film history.

I read about this yesterday. I think the thing that struck me was the way she behaved after her husband went into politics.
Good, bad, or indifferent...it didn't matter to her. She wasn't talking about him in public because you just didn't do that.
No tell alls for Ms Wyman. Class.

She was a lovely woman and a talented actress. I remember that kiss ... and the rules and regulations that used to be in place for kissing onscreen, which makes for pretty passionless kissing, if You ask me ... but it sure was long ...

In her later years she always played cold old ladies. But seeing her in her early days, she was so lively and pretty. There were lots of her movies on this past weekend.
