Today is the 100th birthday of Luise Ranier, star of "The Good Earth" and winner of 2 Academy awards
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 11:20 PM by Rowdyboy
Her next few movies were not successful and her 1st marriage to playwright and socialist Clifford Odets ended in divorce. She left Hollywood, remarried a publisher and lives in London with her daughter in a home once owned by Vivien Leigh.

She outlived all her rivals and contemporaries and all of her career successes occurred before almost all of us were born.

Happy birthday Luise. And many more

I love that she is still alive!

5. My pleasure...
She has quite a life story and has apparently aged very gracefully
