I have just read the actress Joan Fontaine has died aged 96. She was the sister of Olivia de Havilland, who is a year older at 97 and still going strong. I think it is a well know fact the the 2 sisters couldn't stand each other and hadn't spoken for many years. It is a shame when that happens, because I liked both sisters and thought they were excellent actresses.

R.I.P Joan
She signed my dvd cover I sent her of Rebecca a few years ago and she apparently was still signing autographs and replying to fan mail.

I worked with a singer called Michael De Havilland over 22 years ago in the States. Maybe John or Lena/Harry might shed some light on his connection with the family. My short term memory is getting worse.....good singer. Maybe linked with the aircraft manufacturer.
