Does FR have a Ghoul Pool?

Wow. Someone from the old Gunga Din movie that was still alive.

"Fontaine was a licensed pilot, an accomplished interior decorator and a Cordon Bleu-level chef who was married and divorced four times."

Well, make up your mind. Which is it?

[greene66]

Watched Fontaine not too long ago in what was probably her first film, a little independent cheapie, in which she was leading lady to Bruce Bennett. Circa 1936 or 1937.

Another giant of the cinema gone. RIP.

I presume she never reconciled with her sister.

My late mother-in-law said she went to school with Joan Fontaine and her sister Olivia de Havilland at Los Gatos High School in California.

I didn’t realize the two women were sisters until my mother-in-law mentioned it years ago.

I have the Hitchcock movie “Suspicion” on DVD. I’ll watch it again tonight as a tribute to Joan.

Looks like Olivia won.

Everybody is dying today. Must be the cold and snow in the air.

Nobody is going to believe this but I was watching the “TCM Remembers” short about Eleanor Parker thinking it was about Joan Fontaine and now Joan Fontaine is gone too.

Gives me the willies and I promise not to think about anybody else dying for a while.

That’s three by the way.

[SevenofNine]

OH man first it was Peter now Joan

[matginzac]

Wow, just watched “Rebecca” night before last...
I met her in Monterey, CA back in the 80s at a private party. She was having a great time and was very approachable then.
Had a good run, old girl.

RIP, Miss Fontaine

[PghBaldy]

RIP. She and her sister had/have two of the best names (as in the elegant sound of them, to this American pair of ears) for movie stars.

Gadzooks! Peter... O'Toole and Joan... Fontaine both passed away today.

Two more from my youth... gone--

[who knows what evil?]

Joan Fontaine played the saboteur in Irwin Allen’s ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’; which also featured a smoking Barbara Eden and her husband Michael Ansara...
