Episode Synopsis

Instead of looking at Joan Fontaine as a noir dame, let's think of her as a post-war Baby Face. Somewhere along the line, Fontaine's character Christabel Caine internalised the mantra 'use men to get the things you want'. Men fall for the sweet looking blonde without second-guessing her true motivation. I wrap it up with a chapter from Fontaine's memoir No Bed of Roses (1978) where she talks about Howard Hughes, her boss at RKO.
