Sexy "Vintage Hollywood" screen siren Jennifer Jones has passed away. The actress was an Oscar winner, as she won an Academy Award for playing a saint in "The Song of Bernadette." Turner Classic Movies is planning a tribute to the great American actress on January 7th, by showing four of her films.

In her later years in Southern California, Jones was a leader of the Norton Simon Museum. Leslie Denk, spokesman for the museum, told The Associated Press that the American actress died of natural causes at her home in Malibu, reports the Associated Press.


Her last role was in the 1970s disaster film "The Towering Inferno" but two of her most memorable roles are mentioned in the article, "Duel in the Sun," (one of the TNT tribute entries) and her role as Dr. Han Suyin, "the Eurasian doctor who falls for Korean War correspondent William Holden in 'Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.'"

She was once on top of Hollywood, some still argue (even in the AP article) that it was only her second husband that stopped her rise to the top of Hollywood.


According to the Orlando Sentinel the four classics from Turner will be led by "Sun."

The movie schedule according to the paper:

"Duel in the Sun" at 8 p.m.

"Beat the Devil" with Humphrey Bogart at 10:30 p.m.

"Madame Bovary" with James Mason and Van Heflin at 12:15 a.m.

"Indiscretion of an American Wife" with Montgomery Clift at 2:15 a.m.
