She's much worse than Oliva de Havilland, her sister, but is she the worst of all time? Watch "Rebecca" then answer.

I love that movie and I thought Joan was great in it. All the older actresses over acted back in the day. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were over the top in their performances but that was the way it was done back then. I would much rather watch all those old movies then almost any of the ones made nowadays.

I've watched Rebecca many times. No I do not think she is a bad actress. I think each generation has its acting mores, and acceptables. So a weaker personality might try to adhere
to that genre. While personalities, ala Davis made their own rules,and in so doing become Great forever.

No, she was one of the better actors; in Rebecca she was fantastic. Her movies made a lot of money for Hollywood as did her sister's Olivier de Havilland. Watch her act and note her style. She was 'sympathetic' actor and highly skilled.

How many have ever seen Joan Fontaine in a movie?

I disagree. Actresses of her era were expected to act the way that they did. they were to emote more, etc. Rebecca is an excellent movie and it was Alfred Hitchcock's first American project.

Well, I think she's okay(though I'm not a fan of her), and my answer is a really general one. Some of the male actors said she's okay, and there must be a good cause why they had said that.
