Ethel (maid) looked like Joan's sister!


For much of the movie I suspected that Olivia DeHavilland was putting in an uncredited cameo as a favor to her sister, playing Ethel the maid (assuming they were on speaking terms at that time). Then I go to the IMDb page for Heather Angel (who played Ethel) only to find she was under consideration for the role of Melanie in Gone With the Wind. How do you like that?!

And to think they probably have had to use special camera tricks for Olivia to play twins in The Dark Mirror. They could have just hired Heather Angel!

Meh - slight resemblance at best. There's always someone who thinks people look alike. It's akin to tone deafness, I suppose.

Wow, you could have just said "I don't see it." But you had to be a dick about it.
