Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood, "Sisters in Stardom: The Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland Story" chronicles the lives of two iconic actresses whose careers and personal lives intertwined in both harmony and discord. Born to a life of privilege in Japan and raised in California, Joan and Olivia's early rivalry was fueled by their desire to succeed in a competitive industry. As Joan's star rose with her breakout role in "Rebecca," directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Olivia carved her own path to fame, winning acclaim for her roles in "Gone with the Wind" and "The Adventures of Robin Hood." Their relationship, initially marked by intense sibling rivalry, soon evolved into a complex blend of admiration and jealousy as they navigated the pressures of fame, love, and family. Despite their differences, their bond endured through decades of triumphs and setbacks, including Joan's historic Academy Award win for "Suspicion" and Olivia's legal battle against the studio system.
