R.I.P Joan Fontaine (1917-2013) and Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

Including Audrey Totter in this as well.

Joan Fontaine was such a fascinating person. Yet her career seems mostly forgotten. It's hard to remember sometimes that she was a major name in film for two decades.

Yes I have the same feeling. Maybe I'm underestimating people, but I doubt many would be able to identify her from a photo or know who she was. Then again, I'm not sure that many would recognize Olivia de Havilland either. While they were both beautiful women, they were less easily identified than say Bette Davis or Joan Crawford.

Today they mostly seem to be remembered because of their feud, which I get, but it makes me feel a little sad.

Absolutely. They both deserve to be remembered for their accomplishments on screen, not their feud. They both made some major films during their careers. Films that are infinitely better than most films produced nowadays.
