"SIBLING RIVALRY - PART ONE" (08)

From Beneath the Hollywood Sign

Ever since Cain killed Abel — or, to put it in old Hollywood terms, ever since JOAN FONTAINE rebuffed OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND at the 1941 Oscar ceremony — sibling relationships have been complicated. In this episode we take a look at famous Hollywood siblings, some of whom you may know, others who may be a complete surprise. We’ll discuss the operatic singing superstar and her ghoulish TV star sister, the suave urbanite brothers who played bad guys and heels with equal aplomb, and a quartet of singing sisters from the Midwest who melted hearts in the 1940s. But, rest assured, unlike Cain and Abel (or Joan and Olivia), not all of these siblings relationships were as toxic.
