Jean Simmons passed away on Friday, at the age of 80. She was one of my favorite actresses, but really for a single role. She played Sarah Brown in the movie of Guys and Dolls, alongside Marlon Brando. Here they are, with a wonderful song:
(Note how badly Brando sings, yet how he still commands the screen.)
In large part because of Jean Simmons' performance in that movie, I always loved the name Sarah, which became the name of my oldest daughter.
Farewell, Jean.
