Such a lovely woman. I enjoyed her in Young Bess.

Loved “The Big Country” with Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston and Burl Ives. She will be missed. RIP

One of my favorite actresses. I loved her in “Spartacus” and “The Thorn Birds”

Wonderful actor. Great performance in Elmer Gantry with Burt Lancaster.

She was beautiful.

I imagine that Turner Classic Movies will show some of her films in the near future.

I didn’t know she was still alive. Now I know I was right!

Condolences to Jean Simmons family and friends. I remember her from Spartacus.

What a loss. :( I have seen her as a girl playing the young Estella in Lean’s version of Great Expectations to the movies mentioned before and her work in the later part of her life in an episode of Star Trek Next Generation and her voice work in Howl’s Moving Castle (hearing her and Lauren Bacall do voice work is work seeing the movie). She had one of the most distinctive voices in Hollywood history.

Loved her.

A google shows how good she looked, even at 80.

May she rest in peace.
