Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

"Olivia has always said I was first at everything"‪

Rest In Peace, Joan (October 22, 1917 − December 15, 2013)

"At age 108, flying around the stage in Peter Pan, as a result of my sister cutting the wires. Olivia has always said I was first at everything—I got married first, got an Academy Award first, had a child first. If I die, she’ll be furious, because again I’ll have got there first!" (on how she wanted to die) #RIP

"I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did. And if I die first, she’ll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it."
