In "Gloria", she's more of a tough cookie. That movie was actually made to sell, no one took it, so Cassavetes ended up making it. The little boy was annoying.
I love her performance in "A Woman Under the Influence" and for me, it's the best performance I've seen in a movie.
Elizabeth Taylor definitely had persona. She had "it". I think a lot of it is the face.

I liked the "Gloria" role because she was tough, a former gangster's moll.
Taylor is beautiful but she does a perfect "bitch" as well.

She does, and so did "Gloria". Rowlands never attracted me sexually, but there was something about Liz, especially her eyes.
Susan Hayward, too. She was pretty, too. Not that glamorous kinda ****. I don't think I know the names of the prettiest actresses I've seen. Many were in foreign movies from Europe and some weren't the leading ladies.
Anna Magnani was another one. She had the entire package. And she was tougher than all the aforementioned.

I hope one day they redo some of these classics. I don't want an overhaul of the script, just the acting. The scripts were always great, it's just that in those days they hadn't really recognized that stage and screen require different acting techniques.
