JOAN FONTAINE & OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND The Truth About THEIR FEUD

They remain the only sisters to have both won Best Actress Oscars. And it's no wonder. Drama always played a huge part in the relationship of Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine. "I loved her so much as a child," said Olivia of the younger sister she feuded with throughout her life and career.

In the 1930s and '40s, the sisters, who were born 15 months apart, illuminated the screen in some of Hollywood's most popular movies. Olivia was Maid Marian to Errol Flynn's Robin Hood and played Melanie Wilkes in the epic Gone With the Wind. Joan starred in the classic suspense-romance Rebecca and with 1941's Suspicion became the only Hitchcock star to ever win a Best Actress Oscar.
