Joan Fontaine, Oscar-winning actress, dies at 96 | Inside Movies | EW.com: Joan Fontaine, the Oscar-winning actress who was one of the last remaining links to Hollywood’s golden age of the 1930s and ’40s, has died at age 96, her assistant confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
In her most famous films — Rebecca, for which she was Oscar-nominated, and Suspicion, for which she won — Fontaine came across as appealingly passive-aggressive. She could seem radiantly shy, believably insecure, gazing into the middle distance with a hesitancy that drew you immediately to her side. Yet she fashioned a movie career out of willpower and, quite possibly, large reservoirs of spite.

To quote my mother-in-law, "Olivia de Havilland won't last another six months--the only thing keeping her alive was her alive is her desire to outlive her sister. Now she's accomplished that goal, what's left?"
