Joan Fontaine
Joan Fontaine (born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland) was a famous actress during Hollywood's Golden Age. The younger sister of another award winning actress (Olivia De Havilland), Joan won an Academy Award for Best Actress (Suspicion, 1942) and was nominated twice more - in 1940 for Rebecca and in 1943 for The Constant Nymph. She was married 4 times: Brian Aherne (1939 - 1945), William Dozier (1946 - 1951), Collier Young (1952 - 1961) and Alfred Wright Jr (1964 - 1969). One child resulted from her second marriage and, in 1951, she "informally" adopted a 4 yr old Peruvian girl. (The girl's parents allowed Joan custody so that she could provide a better life for her.)

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living. For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
