The Oscar-winning siblings endured one of Hollywood’s most riveting rivalries, as recounted in each of their memoirs.
De Havilland begged to differ. “I loved her so much as a child,” she told Vanity Fair in 2016. Throughout their long lives, they seemed to disagree with each other about almost everything, making theirs one of the few Hollywood feuds which truly lived up to the hype—so much so that it was a subplot in the first season of Ryan Murphy’s Feud. Each woman’s resume was impressive. Fontaine was the Oscar-winning star of films including Rebecca, Suspicion and The Women.
In No Bed of Roses, she boasts that de Havilland’s paramour Howard Hughes asked for her hand while he was dating her sister. Fontaine claims that when she told de Havilland of the proposal, her sister flew into a rage. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” she writes, “especially in favor of a sister.” Fontaine even takes credit for handing her sister her most iconic role.
