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.
Her last role was in "The Towering Inferno" in 1974.
