Now this heading may well be mis-leading to us film fans of the era but Joan Rice did star in Rebecca but this time on stage at The Theatre Royal  in Hanley, Stoke on Trent – and maybe toured around with it – I am not sure about this though.

I imagine she would play Mrs De Winter but who played her husband and Mrs Danvers is not clear

This Poster at the time shows the lovely Joan Rice taking Star Billing in the famous Daphne Du Maurier story

Joan Rice also toured provincial theatres in A View from The Bridge which she always maintained was her own favourite play.
