Absolutely stunning as her name among Best Actress nominees was read!

 

She lost to Ellen Burstyn (not in attendance.)

Her husband was the hated character in Rosemary's Baby as well, he played Rosemary's husband.....

He was a really good actor as well and passed away younger.

One of my favorite roles is Gena's co-starring in Woody Allen's "Another Woman", 1988.

 

It is a sublime performance, and her brief scene with Sandy Dennis is a master class in acting from the two.   Please see it if you care about film acting craft at its finest!

What a beautiful couple.  Her husband Nick was one I always had a crush on. I think it started for me as a youngster in Rosemary's baby movie.

 

Wow.
