The Joe Franklin Show - guest Joan Fontaine 1978

[@lindaanthony7890]

Such a beautiful and intelligent woman. Great interview.

[@justinedean1917]

Joan is under-appreciated.... I swear some actresses are called for being open and bold but she was the boldest l, she's articulate, smart, funny and people tend to forget her greatness ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tequiness061]

Great woman! Full of intelligence, sense of humor...Absolutelly brilliant!

[@lettylynton1932]

I adore Joan Fontaine. I wish I could have afternoon tea with her and a piece of cake. 🤩🤩

[@danielstanwyck2812]

She is wonderful!! Beautiful. Funny. Very intelligentt. Articulate. I love her.

[@thomasbarrientos6234]

Damn,Joan had a beautiful voice and charming personality!!!!

[@honeysucklei]

oh my gosh, her skin! 😭💕

[@lindaanthony7890]

I know, absolutely flawless.

[@tomsarp2900]

Such a beautiful, classy, talented lady. I enjoy listening to her speak and love her in all of her films.

[@manuellarodrigues]

Joan is adorable! So sweet, sensitive and so beautiful! I’ve thinking a lot these last days about her relationship with her sister... so sad that they didn’t make up before Joan’s death. I still hope Joan forgave her before dying and passed away with her heart in peace.

[@bkynbiker19]

Well we know from Olivia's comments about Joan after Joan died that she didn't forgive her baby sister..

[@marcnedboy3163]

Used to see him everyday standing in front of his apartment building on 30th St. and 9 th Ave. He always called out my name and said hello for years

[@Thesavageeye]

Im a Joan Fontaine fan!!!! My favorite will always be Rebecca. I love you Joan.

[@cathybarbGreen]

I watched her in Rebecca several times a month. We love the movie and all the actors, especially Joan.

[@GingerHey]

Classy lady!

[@dr.winstonsmith]

Gracious and graceful.

[@davidswift7776]

Such insight of a genuine immortal actress. Simply a sweet and honest woman. Wonderful interview. Thank you so much!

[@manuellarodrigues]

I love Joan! Beautiful and elegant lady. I believe that, analyzing her life, her behavior, and that of her sister Olivia, Joan was extremely deprived of the love and attention she longed for from her mother and sister her whole life. She always tries to demonstrate a certainty and a bit of irony when asked about her rivalry with Olivia. Her mother's declared preference for Olivia has affected her deeply, though she has always tried to hide it, but by analyzing her expressions when she speaks of her sister and mother, we can clearly see that.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Charles Boyer, about whom Joan wells up, died just before this: he took his own life two days after his British wife of 44 years died of cancer. Their son had committed suicide in the 1960s. No wonder she was moved.

[@lindaanthony7890]

That is so sad. I remember reading about it.

[@Eurafrican]

This isn't 1988 because she released "No Bed of Roses" in 1978, she refers to Cary Grant in the present tense (he died in 1986) and gets emotional over Charles Boyer's demise which sounds recent (this also happened in 1978). Otherwise I enjoyed watching this very much! Thanks for sharing.

+Euro-African Thank you! Noted and changed!!

[@wmbrown6]

@@thejoefranklinshowarchives842 - It even gives you at the start on the slate - recorded Sept. 5, 1978, aired Sept. 7, 1978.

[@randyacuna3248]

In my view the most stunning actress ( no doubt a tough choice) of the 1940s

[@popstarboy]

@Alan Eichler, Thank YOU for sharing this Interview with us!!!!! I have honestly watched this video dozens upon dozens of times!!! I love it. Joan here, is so sophisticated, witty, charming and every bit the Legendary Star!!!! I consider Joan Fontaine and Gene Tierney to be the 2 MOST Beautiful Ladies of Hollywod's Golden Era. 100%. Do you know if the two of them were friends? or at least friendly with one another? I have always hoped that they were indeed friends. Thank You Again!!!!!!!

[@lindaanthony7890]

Both were amazingly gifted actresses. Gene Tierney is a favorite of mine, another beautiful and intelligent woman.

[@AlexanderArsov]

What a lady! Completely classy, charming and, yes, hot. :-)

[@scotnick59]

YES

[@JudgeCrater22]

In 1978, Joe Franklin could have his pick of old Hollywood stars to interview because almost everyone else on television though they were old news. WOR-TV had a hole to fill in their schedule and the Joe Franklin Show was cheap to produce. In this interview, Joan Fontaine says how cheap it is to live in New York, tea in her London hotel cost $5.00 and it was so-so. That was New York before the spoilers took over.

[@elchoya100]

wish she would have talked more about tyrone power.

[@kansasart5912]

September 11th was No Bed of Roses... Wow ...Just wait 23 years, Joan

[@grecogrant2511]

like Crawford if you wrote her she wrote right back!!!!!!

[@bkynbiker19]

Yep, I have several notes and cards - even a snapshot in her garden with the dogs, bless her

[@danielyoung6630]

o wow! OLIVIAs kid sister sweet!

[@Kevin-1969]

I prefer Joan’s movies

[@robcardinal8430]

A class act...as was her sister, Olivia. Unfortunate that they had a life long rift.

[@LiyaRayn]

I read this book… I would better not to read it…Very beautiful and very nice actress, but there is no Olivia ‘s dignity…

[@bkynbiker19]

No she's no Olivia, just forthright and un-phoney
