Jennifer Jones: eating the plants
When the Lady tells Bernadette to eat the plants of the ground and wash her face in the spring, Jennifer Jones pulls those plants out of the ground and eats them so believably! I try to image a bunch of other actors doing that and making it not look ridiculous. LOL. If I did it I would make a mockery of the scene. Jennifer Jones really captured the naïveté, directness and honesty of the character without making her sickly sweet or silly.
And I wonder what kind of plants they used for that scene. It looked like an actual flowering plant of some kind.
