Jean Simmons was robbed of a nomination for Elmer Gantry - she is great in the film, as she always was. She deserved more than 2 nominations in her career but it is still better than most actresses get. Home Before Dark was another Jean Simmons performance that should have gained her a nomination.
The husband of Jean Simmons referred to was English actor Stewart Granger, but Simmons sleeping with Burton while married to Granger is only part of the story. Simmons was also a bit of a trollop, who besides Burton also slept with other men, including Marlon Brando and director Richard Brooks while married to Granger (and eventually divorced ...
I haven't see the Robe in years, but thought it was better than average for the bible movies. The one thing I remember is Jean Simmons. I always liked her and I think she helped elevate the movie a little. She had a decent career, but feel she could have been a bigger star.

He took her to a party and introduced her to Hermione Baddeley, who sneered, "If this is the new Jean Simmons, as Larry's told me, Jean has nothing to worry about—you haven't got her looks or her talent."

Yawn for me, but I’m generally biased against patrician blondes. Pretty and decently talented, hundreds of ‘em. She’s in that Claire Bloom/Jean Simmons class. I liked her in Wild River and Days of Wine and Roses, found her miscast in Anatomy of a Murder and A Face in the Crowd - those roles needed someone more vital and sultry.
