“I don’t know how I should have managed if I had not been cast opposite John Gilbert . . . Through him I seemed to establish my first real contact with the strange American world. If he had not come into my life at this time, I should probably have come home to Sweden at once, my American career over.”

Scenes from Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock, 1940)
In honor of Joan Fontaine
The 13th Annual Academy Awards, February 27th 1941. Seated between David O. Selznick and Alfred Hitchcock is 23 year old Joan Fontaine, hilariously blocked from view by a playful Hitchcock. To Hitchcock’s left is Judith Anderson. ‘Rebecca’ won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Cinematography.
