In those days the studios could get away with anything but it seems odd in that they had loaned her out - very profitably no doubt to Walt Disney and then Warner Bros so you would have thought that Joan would be a prized asset for them. Maybe there is something we do not know.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-28104324181312625802012-01-06T07:14:34.511-08:002012-01-06T07:14:34.511-08:00Many thanks for your responses to this post.

I was informed by one of Joan’s nephew that Michael was at his mother’s funeral and very sadly took his life a few years afterwards.<br /><br />Neil: That is a wonderful photograph and thank you so much for sending it in. It is indeed a tragic coincidence that both Richard Todd and Joan Rice had children that took their own lives.<br /><br />Maria: Firstly it’s lovely to hear from you again I hope you are keeping well. I have now edited my mistakes that you kindly noticed. Yes it was on February 3rd 1930 that she was born and she would have been 82 on that day. I blame all the New Year alcohol for my errors!<br /><br />Happy 2012 to you all and please keep in touch!Clement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-10926563982988897012012-01-05T13:42:30.984-08:002012-01-05T13:42:30.984-08:00Hi Clement, have a prosperous and healthy 2012 and...Hi Clement, have a prosperous and healthy 2012 and keep your wonderful blog going, please!<br /><br />That is a very dear & special photo Joan and Michael, completely new to me and probably many others... incredible, beautiful picture of Mother and Son, sadly both passed away.<br /><br />Now am I wrong but where you write "This week she would have been 81" I am confused. Joan's birthday is coming up on Feb. 4, isn't it? And she would have made 82, no?<br /><br />IMDB says Feb. 3 1930 though so I may be wrong there and my calendar needs correcting. <br /><br />Also Joan's Obituary here on the blog says Feb. 3 so this is convincing. Anyone?

Was she still alive at the time of this tragic event.If so it would have been a terrible blow for her but if she had just died then it could have been a factor in his death. Also Richard Todd's son committed suicide in 1996 I think. All so tragic for the two people who had featured in such a memorable film.<br />This photograph shows her setting off to try to become a successful stage actress no doubt with a view to restoring her film career but this too ended and she had to seek work away from acting. What a loss.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-50466046709649926012012-01-05T05:46:24.352-08:002012-01-05T05:46:24.352-08:00How sad.
