Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 Including Audrey Totter in this as well. http://variety.com/2013/film/people-news/actress-audrey-totter-femme-fatale-of-classsic-noir-films-dies-at-94-1200957115/ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted December 16, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 Today they mostly seem to be remembered because of their feud, which I get, but it makes me feel a little sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted December 18, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
