In Memoriam

Hollywood lost one of its screen legends this past weekend when Joan Fontaine died at 96. The Academy Award-winning actress found stardom with roles in Alfred Hitchcock’s Suspicion and Rebecca and also worked with directors such as Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, and Nicholas Ray.

In a sudden and unfortunate turn of events, Fast and the Furious actor Paul Walker died on Saturday, November 30, 2013. The 40-year-old star was traveling home in a friend's vehicle after attending an event for his charity, Reach Out Worldwide, when the driver lost control and slammed into either a pole or a tree, causing the car to burst into flames.
