Biography of Joan Fontaine
First, the biography of actress Joan Fontaine. Thus, Joan Fontaine was born in 1917 in Tokyo, Japan. However, her parents were British emigrants.
In 1919, her parents split up and Jean, together with his sister (Olivia de Havilland), went with his mother (Lillian Fontaine) to England.
However, due to a pneunomia contracted by Joan during the trip, they stay in California (USA).
First of all, Joan’s sister and mother are also actresses. Moreover, Joan and Olivia are the only sisters to get an oscar.
Her career began in the theatre in 1934, in the play “Kind Lady“. However, it was through the play “Call it a day” that Jesse Lasky saw.
Soon after, he made his film debut in “no more ladies” starring Joan Crawford. He was then part of several films where I couldn’t leave much of an impression.
Finally, it was in Alfred Hitchcock‘s films, “Rebecca” and “Suspicion“, where the actress achieved the greatest success. In the first film she was nominated, and in the second one she won the Oscar.

Article written by Sam Wood
Finally, is an article written by American film producer Sam Wood.
Above all, it is a reflection on the naturalness of actors/actresses.
Sam Wood refers to the numerous tests they give actors to check if they are suitable for certain roles. In this sense, they end up discovering hidden aptitudes in the actors. In any case, he points out that actors have to be natural, equal to themselves, and only with much study can they evolve their technical skills.
For example, he tells us that in studying the personality of actors, they must train in front of a mirror. In this way, actors can apply all the techniques they have studied, from walking, sitting, smiling, crying, among others.
