Read the book a long, long time ago, and I don't remember if it was mentioned therein. If she, in fact, was not given one, I guess that would add to the mystery surrounding her.
"No, I don't like to cook, but I have a chicken in the icebox, and you're eating it."
Wasn't it Laura "Hunt?"
Or, am I having a Senior Moment?
No, Gubbio. I am, lol. Maybe I'm thinking of poor Joan Fontaine in Rebecca!
"No, I don't like to cook, but I have a chicken in the icebox, and you're eating it."
Laura's surname was Hunt. Mrs. de Winter's surname was, unsurprisingly, de Winter. We are never told her maiden name in the novel or in the movie.
"I have had singing."
The title name, Rebecca, refers to the dead first wife, whose married name was de Winter. Joan Fontaine's character, of course, takes the name de Winter when she marries. It is true, we are never told her maiden name, but what is truly odd is that we are never even told her Christian name. It is never mentioned.
shareFor heaven's sake, Alicia - you're one of those people who ask the most ridiculously redundant questions on these boards.
You're here, on the IMDB, aren't you?
If you've reached this point, surely you will have seen that there is a cast list - which tabulates the name of the actors alongside their character's names?
Then why don't you first consult the list, and if, in the unlikely case that you don't find your answer there, you may as a last resort here and ask.
In this case, it's right at the top of the list...
I guess you didn't see my reply to Gubbio, on May 29, 2015, admitting my heinous boo boo.
It's the third message down from the top of the thread...
Nice channeling of Waldo, btw.

I seem to recall having that conversation with someone. Maybe it was with you.
The boards aren't work and they aren't school. I'm here to kick back, relax, and to tune out reality for a little while. I'll read whatever I please before responding. If that earns me an F on the "CFB report card", so be it.
Next....

Agreed, Gubbio. Would have replied sooner, only I'd been trundled off to the hoosegow.
"No, I don't like to cook, but I have a chicken in the icebox, and you're eating it."
In such a situation, sometimes it's best to just take down the opening post.
