WESTPORT, Conn. — “Where there is no hope, there is no despair,” says beautiful Gene Tierney. “But it took me a long time after my child’s birth to come to know this.”
Daria, the first child of actress Tierney and her dress-designer husband, Oleg Cassini, was born in 1943. It was soon evident that the curly-haired child, who resembled her mother, was mentally retarded. The tragedy was one of the emotional blows which later contributed to Miss Tierney’s collapse and a long period of treatment in sanitariums.
