3.Gene Tierney

Gene Tierney, renowned for her beauty, spent two years studying in Europe before visiting Warner Bros. Studios, where her mother's cousin, Gordon Hollingshead, worked as a producer. Director Anatole Litvak noticed the 17-year-old's striking looks and encouraged her to pursue acting.

Although Warner Bros. offered her a contract, her parents disapproved due to the low salary. Tired of the societal life they envisioned for her, Tierney eventually signed with 20th Century Fox and went on to become one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
