Ann Miller Day:
Which company and product did Ann do a splashy MGM style TV commercial for?
Olivia D. & Joan Fontaine
in General Discussions
Posted
I always recall reading a story when Olivia de Havilland won one of her Oscars that Fontaine came over to congratulate her and Olivia ignored her sister by saying "I don't know why she does that when she knows I don't like it". It supposedly started the "feud" news.
In any event in recent years it was noted that Fontaine has either given or loaned her sister money.
Perhaps blood is thicker than water or even Oscars for that matter.
