Gena Rowlands Could Knock You Out
The late actress was the master of terrifying vulnerability.
But his 1989 death was far from the end of her career; she worked relentlessly until about a decade ago, as evidenced by the hilarious choice some obituary editors made this week when they wrote headlines that identified her as the actress from, of all things, The Notebook. Gena took up the mantle of portraying female madness — both anger and mental illness — and the uncomfortable, prickly dynamics of being a woman in the world in a way that Bette Davis was very interested in. This is kind of a weird one, but I want to rewatch this 2002 TV movie directed by Mira Nair called Hysterical Blindness with Uma Thurman, Juliette Lewis, and Ben Gazzara.
