Sadly Joan Fontaine and her [[still alive) 15 month old older sister Olivia Di Havilland had sibling rivalry all their lives and had not talked to each other in over 40 years.
Just on Saturday I was watching one of my all time favorite old movies... Alfred Hitchcock's first USA made movie... REBECCA... which made Joan Fontaine famous.
In 2014 REBECCA will be on Broadway as a musical, brought here from a very successful European run.
The lifelong sibling rivalry had an interesting twist between Joan Fontaine and Olivia De Havilland. Joan once commented....
“I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she’ll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!”
