Famous for her Oscar winning performance in “The Song of Bernadette,” Jones also received five other nominations during her exceptional career. She passed away at her Malibu home this morning with her son at her side. Although unconfirmed, Jones likely died of natural causes.
During her career, Jones married one of Hollywood’s biggest producers, David O. Selznick. After he passed in 1965, she went on to marry a wealthy industrialist by the name of Norton Simon. Simon passed away in 1993 and left his wife the Norton Simon Museum, in which she served on the board of directors.
