  • Who Is Pier Angeli And Why You Need To See This
    Pier Angeli wasn’t anything like she appeared on the screen. Her early career was successful, but by the age of 30, she was lonely, desperate, broke, and even suffering from many illnesses. Not to mention that motion pictures always ignored her. Let’s take a look at the sad life of this amazing actress.

      The narrator asked the question if her life would have been different and better had she chosen to be with James Dean. Based on a Hollywood history perspective the answer is no, probably not. She was in the wrong place to have a satisfying life. She had a very low probability of meeting her “soulmate”.. she would probably have had better chance away from Hollywood, maybe closer to her sister or mother. Just my humble opinion.

(19 June 1932 - 6 Dec 2023) She found happiness in her marriage, divorce, and remarriage to French actor Jean Pierre Aumont (5 Jan 1911 - 30 Jan 2001). During her acting career she received an Academy Award nomination and won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in the 1955 film The Rose Tattoo. They had two boys.

    According to Wikipedia, "In September 1971, at the age of 39, Angeli was found dead of a barbiturate overdose at her home in Beverly Hills. On the day of her death, Angeli was given an injection of Compazine by her doctor. Consequent death due to anaphylaxis has been suggested, however, it is not supported by the findings of her autopsy."

    Pier Angeli clearly had the potential to be a superstar, but the Hollywood studios failed to appreciate the talent they had on hand, in her acting ability, and little-girl-lost looks. The studio support system had broken down in the early 1950s.
    Shame that she died in 1971 of a severe allergy to a tranquilizer, and just 39. Octaman was inane scriptwise and unsubtle: an undeserving end to her otherwise sparkling career. (I've seen better black and white horror B-movies than this.) Had she not broken off her romance with James Dean, she just might have married him, even though he was a rebel. Who can say for sure?
    Heaven has a movie goddess in their immortal ranks. Bless you, Pier Angeli, for your memorable films!

    Was Pier Angeli not marred to Vic Damone? I believe her sister Marisa was married to a French actor named Jean Pierre Aumont. Perhaps Pier's mother knew of the reputation of Kirk Douglas as a "womanizer" and as a Catholic Italian mother didn't want Pier's heart to be broken nor her reputation ruined.
