And for those of you curious as to the origin of the Gene Tierney quote about her beauty, this reference was taken from a trivia note on IMDB :
"According to his daughter Victoria, Vincent Price felt that Gene Tierney had as much to do with this movie's success as Producer and Director Otto Preminger's direction: 'In his opinion, it was Gene Tierney's 'odd beauty' and underrated acting ability that made 'Laura' so popular', she said. 'He felt her beauty was both timeless and imperfect.'"
...so it was Vincent Price who made that reference-mystery solved!
