Jennifer Jones (who died today at the age of 90) was old-school Hollywood, a dark-haired beauty who could play anything — and was cast in a variety of roles in the ’40s and ’50s.
She was the half-Indian temptress (pictured) in the notorious Western “Duel in the Sun” (which was nicknamed “Lust in the Dust” for its steamy scenes), produced by David O. Selznick — who became her second husband.
She played a Eurasian doctor who falls for William Holden in “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.” And she won an Oscar in 1943 for “The Song of Bernadette,” in which she played a nun.

GIBRALTAR: Miss World Kaiane Returns Home With Huge Reception, The new Miss World, Kaiane Aldorino, was given a rapturous welcome on return to the Rock today. Several thousands people waving the red and white Gibraltar flag jam-packed the John Mackintosh square.
“I am thrilled,” she told the crowd from a balcony in the City Hall.
“I knew it would be a big welcome, but not that big,” she said.
Earlier, when driven through the main street to cheering crowds, she felt “on top of the world.”
A spokesman for the Miss World organisation, in Gibraltar for Kaiane’s homecoming, said: “We’ve never had a welcome like Gibraltar’s. It’s the most special home-coming ever.”
The reigning Miss World flew to Gibraltar on a private jet chartered by the Gibraltar Government. Their non-essential employees were allowed to leave early to take part in the celebrations. A fireworks display was organised for the late evening.
