Really sad news.
Ironically, today whilst doing some food shopping at Sam's Club we came across Love is a Many Splendored Thing in the DVD section.

I've been on a Jennifer Jones kick on the last few weeks, screening "Song of Bernadette", "Madame Bovary" and "Carrie" amongst others. One of the most haunting, fascinating female stars of the classic cinema in my opinion.
Ever the lady, she knew when to step out of the spotlight. Her life was quite tragic in many respects (a daughter committed suicide) and her first husband Robert Walker died suddenly of an accidental overdose of sedatives in 1951. She famously left him to marry producer David O. Selznick--the man who mentored her early career.
She'll always be immortal as the faithful Bernadette Soubirous (her Oscar-winning performance) from "Song of Bernadette"; though I suspect her greatest, most widely acclaimed and remembered roles came as feisty half-caste Pearl Chavez in "Duel in the Sun", and Eurasian Doctor Han Suyin in "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing".
She will be missed.

Does TCM hold the rights for "Song of Bernadette" and "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing"? 
I'm guessing probably not, since they were Fox productions. I was surprised to see "Carrie" not included; one of her finer performances from the early Fifties, though it's a movie which actually showcases Laurence Olivier to better advantage.
I'm also eager to see "Good Morning Miss Dove", "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" and "Tender is the Night" released to DVD, but I won't be holding my breath...
