JOAN FONTAINE?
JOAN FONTAINE (1917-2013), born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland, was a huge star in the early 40s; she worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Haven't you seen Rebecca (1940)? This was Hitchcock's only film that won the Best Picture Academy Award.Watch this and then see these other four films.
Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) This is a classic tearjerker, with fine acting and a good story.
Jane Eyre (1944) Orson Welles also stars in this terrific version of the literary classic.
Suspicion (1941) Joan stars opposite Cary Grant in another Hitchcock thriller.
A Damsel in Distress (1937) One of Joan's earliest movies; Fred Astaire is the male lead.

I loved Joan Fontaine in "Frenchman's Creek." She's superb.

I'm a big fan of Joan and her films. In addition to the ones mentioned, I thought she was terrific in September Affair.
