Gena Rowlands – Born in 1930

Perhaps, the ten films that American actress Gena Rowlands co-wrote and directed with her husband, John Cassavetes, are the ones she is most recognized for. Their most significant joint projects were 1974’s Gloria and 1974’s A Woman Under the Influence. She became an actress like her mother, despite the fact that her father was a politician and banker. The younger generation will likely recall her for portraying the aging lead in the 2004 smash blockbuster The Notebook! Rowlands was given an honorary Academy Award in 2015.
