I am 23. I stopped watching televison 7 years ago because... well I think that modern televison sucks. I grew up watching old movies and tv shows from the 1950s-1980s and I discovered Joan Fontaine. The first movie I saw of Joan's was Suspicion. I loved this actress from first sight and didn't recall watching her as a child. So I researched and I learned about her. In my opinion, Joan was/is a beautifully complicated woman who misunderstood and was misunderstood. As an actress, Joan, was terribly talented- yet sadly underused and underrated. This page is dedicated to Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland, a.k.a Joan Fontaine. If you don't like it, screw you.

OMG!!! Photo shows (L to R) show comedians putting on their act for actress Joan Fontaine, Brian Aherne (top), Basil Rathbone, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Reginald Gardiner. 11/20/1940. The act was part of the Christmas Show for British War Relief, staged in a huge tent on Wilshire Boulevard’s Miracle Mile. Acme Photo. Kudos to basilrathbone.net!

Folks, she’s not upset. I just remember reading that she was “filled with mirth”. WTH is mirth? You gotta love 1950s sayings- because we damn sure don’t say things like that today.
