ROME - In his real name - Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland - fate had summed up the arc of the whole personal and professional life of Joan Fontaine, died away in his mansion in California, at 96 years old. - Compared to my older sister Olivia - once said - I got married first, I won the Oscar for the first, of course if to touch me to die before I would have the satisfaction of seeing her livid.
In fact, the life of Joan Fontaine in the shadow of one of the star of 'Gone with the Wind' was never easy, as is evidenced by a career focused in the burning brightness of just two decades and a private life marked by four weddings and many divorces.
The daughter of a British lawyer and an actress (Ruse Lilian Fontaine) who stole the name of art, the blonde Joan was born in Tokyo October sarah jessica parker dress 27, 1917, but from an early age he had lived with his mother in Saratoga, in California, finding his father in Japan only in late adolescence. With the myth of the tyrannical mother and the obsessive sarah jessica parker dress competition sister, Joan must deal since he took his first steps on the stage (at Broadway) and on screen (in Hollywood).
A student of Max Reinhardt, has the good fortune to come under contract to RKO in 1935, after a film by George Stevens loved only by historians of cinema: sarah jessica parker dress 'The magnificent adventure'. In the five-year contract interprets a dozen titles, among them 'Gunga Din' and 'Women', both in '39, but did not penetrate and threatens the expulsion from the studios.
His fortune is to have dinner one evening sarah jessica parker dress with David O'Selznick, and acquainted her sister sarah jessica parker dress but you captivated from the first part of the name of Joan, because in those days is reading the script for 'Rebecca's first wife', written by Simone de Beauvoir. It so happens that Joan propose a meeting with Alfred sarah jessica parker dress Hitchcock, and that they just landed in America is struck by the elegant, aristocratic, blond English lady as he transplanted overseas.
The success of 'Rebecca' makes you tap the Oscars, which will be a year later (1942) sarah jessica parker dress for 'Suspicion', the only Hitchcock film to be awarded in the history of the Academy. In the pink of the actresses finalist that year, there is also Olivia de Havilland, with 'The sarah jessica parker dress Golden Door', but the two sisters practically do not speak for the entire evening and the ill-will remain so deep that her mother's death (in '75) will interrupt all communication forever.
The 40s Joan Fontaine are rich in important titles, sarah jessica parker dress such as a version of 'Jane Eyre', signed sarah jessica parker dress by Robert Stevenson in 1943 ('The port lost') or the triptych of films interpreted in an extraordinary 1948.

These are the years in which Joan Fontaine is sought by the greatest directors, by William Dieterle Nick Ray, and it ends travagliatissimo even on the set of 'Othello', in which - legend has it - will also resume from the back instead of the true Desdemona, sarah jessica parker dress Suzanne Cloutier.
In the 50s the marriage between quality and success remains almost unchanged with titles like 'Ivanhoe' by Richard Thorpe (1952), 'The great fog' that directs Ida Lupino (1953), 'The Reasonable Doubt' Fritz Lang (1956), 'Four women wait' to Robert Wise (1957). But the glory as it had arrived, it would be off too quickly. After the failure of 'Tender sarah jessica parker dress is the Night', directed sarah jessica parker dress by Henry King in 1962, Joan Fontaine on the table of the proposals are less frequent. Try the way of the TV (helped once again by Hitchcock), try occur alone but in fact the middle of the decade, withdraws from the big screen.
Will be back on TV sporadically until the mid-80s, but his last appearance will be regal in 1982, when the Berlin Film Festival calls for chairing the jury. Since then, especially melancholy, sorrow and regret as well says in his autobiography 'It's not a bed of roses'.
