The 1942 Academy Awards were a watershed for Joan Fontaine, and not just because she won an Oscar for her performance in Alfred Hitchcock’s Suspicion. In doing so, the 24-year-old triumphed over her older sister, Olivia de Havilland, who had also been nominated. It marked the beginning of a public feud between the siblings that apparently remained unresolved when Fontaine died at her home in California on Sunday, aged 96.
