Gene Tierney: Hollywood’s Beautiful Star and Mental Illness - Hollywood is Dead

She was called one of the most beautiful women in film history — elegant, controlled, untouchable. But behind the image, Gene Tierney was quietly unraveling. This episode of Hollywood Is Dead examines Gene Tierney’s rise at the height of Old Hollywood, the catastrophic rubella exposure during pregnancy, the loss of her daughter, and the psychiatric treatments that followed — including insulin shock therapy and electroconvulsive therapy. This is not gossip. This is not myth. It’s a documented look at how trauma, untreated mental illness, and an unforgiving studio system collided — and how Hollywood moved on while she was left to survive the aftermath. 🎧 Available on YouTube & Spotify 📚 Sources listed below ▶️ Call to Action If you value fact-based history without glamour or excuses, subscribe to the channel and follow Hollywood Is Dead for more stories about the stars the system discarded. 👍 Like the video 📌 Subscribe for weekly episodes 💬 Comment below — did you know this part of her story? ⚠️ Disclaimer This video discusses mental illness, psychiatric treatment, and historical medical practices that may be disturbing to some viewers.
