Happy 97th Birthday Joan Fontaine!!

(October 22nd, 1917 - December 15th, 2013)

“I feel that the camera is so pure and so marvelous it’s really like playing to God, because the camera is the truth. You don’t have to justify yourself or explain anything—it sees all, knows all. So the camera has been my closest friend.”

“If movies taught me anything, it was discipline.”

“A lot of people work from the outside in; I work from the inside out. I don’t use false noses and artificial gestures. Once you become the person you’re playing, these things happen automatically.”
