A black and white portrait of the film star Jean Simmons pictured in Los Angeles in 1949. She is smiling at the camera. She was born in 1929, in London, England. Simmons made an instant impression with an early screen appearance in the war drama The Way to the Stars (1945). The following year, she landed the role of the young Estella in Great Expectations. Laurence Olivier commissioned Simmons to play Ophelia in his classic version of Hamlet (1948), a role for which she won an Academy Award nomination. In 1950 Simmons moved to Hollywood. Shortly after her arrival, she married fellow British actor Stewart Granger. During the 1950s, Simmons' career flourished and she was cast opposite such A-list actors as Marlon Brando in Guys and Dolls (1955), Paul Newman in Until They Sail (1957), and Gregory Peck in The Big Country (1958).
