==Biography==
===Early life===
Jones was born '''Phylis Flora Isley''' in née Suber) and Phillip Ross Isley.<ref>[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~battle/celeb/jenjones.htm 1<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Her parents toured the Robert Walker. The two were married on January 2, 1939, when Jones was just 19 years old. 

They returned to Tulsa for a 13-week radio programme arranged by her father, and then headed for New Frontier'', followed by a serial entitled, ''Dick Tracy's G-Men''. In these two films, she was billed as "Phyllis Isley" (Phyllis now spelled with two L's). However, when she and Walker failed a screen test for Paramount Pictures, they decided to return to New York City.

===Career===
While Walker found steady work in radio programs, Isley worked part-time modeling hats for the Powers Agency while looking for possible acting jobs. When she learned of auditions for the lead role of ''Claudia'' in Rose Franken’s hit play of the same name, she presented herself to David O. Selznick’s New York office but fled in tears after what she thought was a bad reading. Selznick, however, overheard her audition and was impressed enough to have his secretary call her back. Following an interview, she was signed to a seven-year contract.

She was carefully groomed for stardom and given a new name: Jennifer Jones. Director The Song of Bernadette'' and she won the coveted role over hundreds of applicants. In 1944, Jones won the For Whom the Bell Tolls''. Jones apologized to Bergman, who replied "No, Jennifer, your Bernadette was better than my Maria." Jones presented the Best Actress Oscar the following year to Bergman for ''Gaslight''.<ref>{{cite web

Over the next two decades, Jones appeared in a wide range of roles selected by Selznick. Her dark beauty and sensitive nature appealed to audiences and she projected a variable range. Her initial saintly image - as shown in her first starring role - was a stark contrast three years later when she was cast as a provocative bi-racial woman in Selznick’s controversial film ''Duel in the Sun''. Other notable films included ''Love Letters'', ''Madame Bovary'', ''Carrie'', ''Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing'', ''A Farewell to Arms''. Her leading men during this period included Lord Laurence Olivier, Montgomery Clift, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, Robert Stack, Sir John Gielgud, Rock Hudson and Jason Robards.

The portrait of Jones for the film ''Portrait of Jennie'', was painted by Robert Brackman.

===Personal life===
Jones' first marriage produced two sons, Robert Walker Jr. (born April 15, 1940), and Michael Walker (born March 13, 1941). Both later became actors. Jones met and began an affair with David O. Selznick, which eventually led to her divorce from Walker in November 1945. 

Jones married Selznick on July 13, 1949, a marriage that lasted until his death on June 22, 1965. After his death, she semi-retired from acting; her last appearance was a strong supporting role in the 1974 film ''The Towering Inferno'', playing the ill-fated Lisolette Mueller. Jones' only child with Selznick, Mary Jennifer Selznick (born August 12, 1954), committed suicide in 1976 by jumping from a 20th floor window. This led to Jones' interest in mental health issues. 

Jones married multi-millionaire industrialist, art collector and philanthropist Pasadena.

Jones is a Christopher Jones and named her only child '''Jennifer Robin Jones''', in the actress' honour.
