I am a hugh fan of Gena's . If you ever read this believe me you are the most talented actress around. Every person you portray in your movies comes to life you make your audience relate to your chacters. Your performances remind people that hey I know a person just like that. If you read this I am the person that sent you a picture of me at my 25 wedding anniv. Hearing from you or ever meeting you would truly be a dream come true. I'll be looking forward to seeing you n TV or at the movies. Your fans truly love you. Shari (Gens #1 gal)

I just adore Gena Rowlands. I wish I could get an email or p.o. box address where I could email her. She is such a phenomenal role model for women. She's strong, honest, brave, real. At the same time, she has an aura of grace, compassion, femininity and softness. Such balance! I know she's won many awards through out her career... Golden Globes, Emmy's, International awards...still, I believe one day she'll add an Oscar to that list of acknowledgements. She is world class...and deserving of every honor bestowed to actors. I enjoy her acting so much... because she becomes the person and is so believable that I can get lost in the stories she portrays. THAT's acting! THAT's entertainment! Unhook the Stars, Gloria and Once Around are my favorites. But I enjoy everything I see her in. Gena, if you're out there...and if by some wonderful twist of fate you see this... YOU ARE LOVED!!! :) Thank you for sharing your gift, taking so many chances and being such a beautiful example of what being human is all about. P.S. I saw Gena interviewed by that rude woman Joan Rivers at the Emmy's...UGH! Gena never missed a beat, never lost her cool and handled that witch with complete grace and charm. What a woman! You go, Gena!!! :) From my heart- Beth Graham

I watch any films with Gena. My mother knew Gena as a child. Gena's mother was my mothers Sunday School Teacher in Cambria Wisc. my mother also knew Gena's brother Dave. I do not know if any of these comments ever reach Gena, but if they do my others m iden name was Nightengale and she too was born in Cambria, but before Gena. My mother has told me about Gena and her family when they lived in Wisc and that Gena's mother ws beautiful and always a great lady and that Gena was a beautiful child. I know M m would love to re-connect with Gena and her brother. Gena is one of the finest actresses around and what ever the role she always is the lady and she and her husband were one of the rare couples in hollywood that maintain a private life and always with such grace and dignity. It is a pleasure to watch any movie Gena is in.

I ordered "Tempest" a couple months ago because I remembered seeing it a long time ago and loved it. I watch it over and over. It is so moving to see the obvious love between you and John. I have been trying to find the documentary on him entitled "I'm Almost Not Crazy" and can't seem to locate it. I also plan to order "Love Streams." I saw "A Woman Under the Influence" many years ago and loved that as well, so plan to try and get that on VHS also. I read that John was ill for 3-1/2 years, but it did 't say what caused his death. Can you direct me to more information on him and where I can locate some of his movies on VHS ... mainly that documentary?

This site is wonderful! As a Gena fans for years, I thought I was among the few that fell for this great actress, since it seems everyone has to like the young starlets - that don't mean anything. Cassavettes and Gena made wonderful films together, not ea y to digest many of the times, but I can't forget them! Gloria, probably the most easiest of Cassavettes films to swollow, has Gena walking the streets with her gun, like in old Hollywood movies - and boy, did it work! Another Woman, under Woody Allens' d rection is totally different (hardly a joke in it), but giving Gena another superb role, so different in tone from her other ones, that it went with me for years. She's beautiful (why can't men grow older in such a gallant way?), gracious, talented, so pl you film makers who by chance read this, give her more meaty roles since she desrves them! THANK YOU GENA FOR YOUR WORK!

Wonderful to find this site, finally giving us Gena fans a chance to thank this lady for the wonderful roles she has done. Her role in Cassavette's films will be the most memorable, since it so hard to find such roles and portrayed in that way. Gena's fac can convey such a wide range of emotions that make other actresses fade away. I prefer to see her in main roles and not playing secondary ones to the likes of Sandra Bullock or Hollie Hunter. When she's in the frame, let everyone else just move over! And yet thru all these years of acting, no ego is ever on the screen, she's there for the role, trying her best to bring it to life. I admire her intergrity, her talent -- and did we mention that she is one of the most beautiful women? BRAVO, GENA - and conti ue working!!!

You give such a wonderful depth to your characters and really make them each seem as if they are someone you know. I have watched your films for years now and besides the wonderful acting, I always have a take away- a line or a scene that sticks with me . Thank you for the wonderful films and roles. Hannah in Playing By Heart was WONDERFUL! What a team- you and Sean Con ery!

Comments:
Gena Rowlands is a vixen. that's right, a female fox. she obviously smolders even w/out the cig in all of her films, but frankly she was more of a crossword clue than a living actress to me until i saw "Paulie". it's great to see the young woman or eve - the little girl - in a mature, experienced woman, light up her presence like a mantle from within. from what i've read this and one other film late in her career were a new, softer side of the actress that was encouraged by her Director-son, Nick Cassa etes. in Paulie her sober sweetness made me miss her as soon as she exited, stage right. i mean to see more of her filmography soon.

Ms. Rowlands: I knew your mother, Mary Allen, and your father in Williston, ND. They were in my wedding. (I still have your mothers "Chili for a Crowd" recipe she gave me at a shower.) You are the image of her - a truly beautiful and talented woman - who raved the wilds of the Dakotas with charm and grace. When asked (along with many others) to name the most important attribute of a husband she said, "He lets me be myself" I think of her so often

I saw Gloria for the 1st time when I was eight...what can I say...I felt alive! I was a kid in trouble, without family, I was disconnected to everyone and everything around me, including myself. Somehow, Gena's performances gave me a sense of hope to not give up. Her presence and genuine beauty on the screen was a tremendous source of strength for me as child and I wrote to her when I was little, asking her if we could meet! How silly I was, but how real she was, and still is, to me and to all of her fan . Beyond all of the fabulous words we choose to describe Gena, how we feel for her, we are still mesmerized by this great woman, by her intoxication and her ability to take all of us into her heart. Ms.Rowlands, can we have coffee someday?

Comments:
I first saw Gena in A Woman Under the Influence and her performance haunted me in that film. I love her best in Gloria because she's so strong in that film, doesn't take any shit and her bond with the little boy is so beautiful. I love her in Opening Ni ht and Minnie & Moskovitz and Night on Earth where she shows Winona Ryder a thing or two about acting. (i like winona, too). I confess to not seeing much of her other work. I saw Tempest so long ago I don't remember much (and that was before I knew who she was). I haven't gotten around to the recent films by her son....

Hello, I saw Minnie and Moskowicz(sp?) last night and I cried when Seymore cut off his mustache. It was touching to see him so vulnerable, yet ultimatley, I can't see Minnie's marriage to him as anything but exhausting. The ending (of the film)compromise the complexities the film spends so much energy in exhibiting. But I suppose they all can't be perfect.

Comments:
Ms Rowlands is THE definition of class. Any movie she is in as star or cameo becomes special while she is on screen. I see no point in a remake of GLORIA. Why wasn't the original simply re-released? Because her "acting" is so natural she seems like a riend--someone you've known all of your life--and we're all the better for it. Few actresses truly radiate warmth, but Ms Rowlands has one of the greatest smiles in this world. It fills the screen and the heart.

What a wonderfully chic tribute to a mah-velously elegant lady! I'm into films of the 1930's-early 1960's for the most part....however, Gena has always been one of my favorites from the late to mid-sixties onward! Gene's such an underrated actress and con eys such class and keen intelligence on-screen. I'm particularly interested in her work with her husband, John Cassavetes. Many of the films they collaborated on don't seem to be readily available on video, unfortunately. If anyone knows of any sites onli e (besides reel.com, that is) that specialize in *rare* videos, please let me know! I'm looking for Gena films, as well as two or three films of Vivien Leigh's and some rare French films. Simply drop me a line at my personal E-mail: Topkapi@prodigy.net Pl ase do keep up the wonderful work on this site--I'm impressed with how updated your information is, and your photo gallery is absolutely fabulous! I haven't yet seen "Unhook the Stars," but I plan to very, VERY soon! I remember seeing Marisa Tomei in a Da id Letterman interview at the time the film came out, and she spoke so highly of Gena. She said she was a delight to work with! I'll be telling my friend Diana about this tribute as she'll probably want to mention it in her new classic film news magazine henever Gena is a featured topic. The mag's called STARDUST & TINSEL and you can find out more at the address below. It's going to be a very cool E-zine, and will certainly be a MUST for ANY classic film buff! =) With affection & all warm wishes, Madelein ~Stardust & Tinsel~ http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/Stardust_and_Tinsel ~The Ruby Round Table~(Stardust's "sister" list) http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/The_Ruby_Round_Table

Gena is one classy lady!! I first saw her in GLORIA when I was 9 years old and that is one of my favorite films. They are doing a remkae of Gloria due out in 1999 with Sharon Stone as Gloria, the buzz is that Stone does a fantastic job in the role and is likely to garner and oscar nomination. I am hoping that Gena was consulted on the remake.

What can I say except that I would give anything to have coffee with this extraordinary actress? Gena, if you ever get this message, know that your performance in Gloria inspired me to both stick up for myself and keep cool. The role of Gloria taught me that I should always be tough and stick to my guns when the slimeballs of this world try to take hat doesn't belong to them. I saw you as Gloria when I was about 12 years old; you blew me away then, and now, at 31, having just viewed it again, you still have me screaming out "YEAH! Let 'em have it Gloria!" I don't know what you've been up to recently, but I want to tell you th t I think you're the BEST. God bless you.

I'm a limited fan of Cassavetes. Like DePalma, a fine director, but a lousy judge of material. (Remember TEMPEST?). But Rowlands brings craft, honesty, and enormous dimension to everything she touches. I'm convinced that she is an intuitively brilliant actress. Witness her small but astounding role in A CHILD IS WAITING; she turns what could easily be a melodramatic me s into a reality which slices the film open. This woman is and always has been a cinematic treasure.

To me, this actresses epitomizes grace, talent, beauty. She can play any role and never lose her extraordinary "humaness" that makes each character appealing. I suspect she could play the role of an axe murderess and you'd come out of the theater feelin the victims somehow deserved what they got. She ranks with the very best of the acting profession. Highly underated by the media and unknown to many moviegoers.

Comments:
I first became aware of Gena Rowlands when I rented Crazy in Love because I am a big Frances McDormand fan. I was very impressed with Ms. Rowlands, so I checked out a few more of her films and did a little more research into her career. She truly is one of the finest and most distinguished actresses of the American cinema. I am not only impressed by her devotion to her craft, but by her devotion to her family. Roger Ebert said in his review of "Unhook the Stars," "If Gena Rowlands were getting a makeov r on one of the chat shows, they'd tell her to cut her hair to a sensible length and stop trying to look like a 1950's sex bomb...You want my theory about the hairstyle? John liked it that way." When I first read this, it struck me as disparaging, but t e more I thought about it, the more I realized what a beautiful expression it was. I think it speaks volumes about a marriage that lasted 45 years. Brava to Ms. Rowlands. I will always admire her.

Are they really making a remake of Gloria with Sharon Stone? Puhleeze no! Unless Gena has given her approval on this, I personally think it stinks. NOBODY will ever be Gloria, but Gena! Why would they dare to even think that it could ever be improved u on? A total waste of money, in my opinion.

Gena's beauty and the truthfulness of her acting will always shine through. It's a tradgedy that film critics praise the likes of Meryl Streep to the skies, when Gena is by far the greater actress. However, her fans know how wonderful she is. I heard that she'd also done some theatre work in America recently - can anyone confirm if this is the case? I'd love to see her on stage. Anyway, let us continue to be stunned by Gena and her performances.

Is there an address at which I could write to Gena ? Gena Rowlands is an actress of great talent and integrity-I don't know of any other living actress who can convey such emotional complexity and power. I loved A woman Under the Influence, Gloria, Openi g Night -virtually allthe Gena /John movies. This site is very cool- thanks.

Ms. Rowlands, Years ago I had the distinct pleasure of meeting your late husband's Greek parents in a shoe store in Brentwood, California. Then saw Woman Under the Influence in Beverly Hills at least twice. Since that time I followed your movie career. Distinguishe to say the least. You are an incredible actress with a style of acting your very own as well as your signature of smoking a cigarettein lots of scenes. Recently saw you in "Friends for Life". Moving and beautiful. Do e-mail me back when you can. Hope to meet you in a scene study seminar. Do you give them? Let me know. Also, be gracious to mail me your autographed 8x10 at P.O. Box 83106, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73148.

What a pleasure to find this site! I searched Yahoo for pictures of Gena and landed here. I am a huge Cassavetes fan! My friends and I get together every year - on the aniversary of his passing and watch Husbands, Love Streams, Faces... whatever we have on hand! Gena has continued to do fantastic work with other talented directors in- cluding Nick Cassavetes, her son. Thanx for the site and thank-you Gena! Ciao!!!

Comments:
I find it hard to describe the impact Gena had on me when I saw her in Gloria when I was a teenager. I think she is an artist of incredible power and honesty , and one whom I feel emotionally drawn to in all her work. She seems to be able to show us the i ner struggles which we all go through, and I feel this is a gift which sometimes, in her best work transends 'acting'. She is a true artist and a unique, precious person . Thank you for this website and if Gena can read this, thank you for some of the mos moving film acting I have ever seen. You are a star and we love you

Gena Rowland is one of the last true icons of our time. I spend some of my studyyears in Budapest where I was able to see most of cassavetes films in a festival that has been running for over 4 years overthere! ms Rowland has this little extra quality to er personality that makes her special for the rest of times to come...
