Wow. I don't even know she was still alive. One of the last remaining Hollywood movie queens. Happy birthday, Miss Fontaine.

Yes, the feuding sisters are both still alive. Still trying to outdo each other in every way possible.

I'm sure they're placing bets, now.

Long life to them both, despite the "grudge that would not die."

Happy Birthday and thank you for refusing the role of Melanie.

Happy Birthday and thank you for Rebecca!

"[Gore] was widely perceived as arrogant. If you know something, you're not smart. You're a smarty-pants. It's annoying. People get annoyed with your knowledge. It goes back to high school, to not doing your homework ... 'There's something I should know, I don't know why I should know it but someone knows it and I don't. So I'm going to have to make fun of him now.'" -Sarah Vowell, The Partly-Cloudy Patriot

Best12--do you know the history behind their feud? I know it was ongoing throughout their hey day--but it is still going on?

I could never stand Joan Fontaine. What a drip. Olivia de Havilland, on the other hand, is one of Hollywood's finest actresses. Just take a look at The Snake Pit, or pretty much any other film she's ever done. When's her birthday?
