Joan Fontaine (born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland) won the 1941 Best Actress award for her performance in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller "Suspicion." Among the other actresses nominated for the award was her older sister, Olivia de Havilland, who received an Oscar nod for her work in "Hold Back the Dawn." It was the first time that sisters contended for the same acting Oscar. It happened again on April 10, 1967, when sisters Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave were nominated for Best Actress of 1966. The award went to Elizabeth Taylor that year.
