A STRONG DISLIKE FOR JOANIE


"JOAN Fontaine makes the hit parade in a social sense, for she is gay, gregarious, charming and witty and is invited to all the finest parties in town. But she is alleged to be almost hated by a certain group of -- her leading men!
HER fellow actors claim she's utterly ruthless and that she knows every way in which a leading woman can spoil an actor's lines -- and uses them!
ANY picture made with Joan means a constant battle for the leading man to get his face into the picture, and they end up with a strong dislike for Joanie."
-- Motion Picture magazine, 1951

  1. Was Olivia de Havilland a staff writer for Motion Picture?

  2. You would think so, wouldn't you? At least Joan seemed to be the one who was open to reconciliation.
