She's back! Melanie will present: The Dueling De Havillands: Hollywood’s Juiciest Sibling Rivalry
Sisters Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine were both accomplished actresses, starring in such classics as Gone With the Wind and Rebecca. They also had a lifelong feud. What was fact and what was exaggerated to sell magazines? Did Olivia rebuff Joan’s congratulations when she won an Oscar? Did they go years without speaking after Joan made a cutting public remark about Olivia’s first husband? And why did the 101 year old Olivia sue the 2017 series Feud over its portrayal of her relationship with her sister?
Find out in this 40 minute talk that celebrates their lives and films.
