Nova Pilbeam(1919-2015)

David O. Selznick saw her potential in Alfred Hitchcock's film Inocencia y juventud (1937) and avidly pushed for her to star in his next film Rebeca, una mujer inolvidable (1940). Hitchcock's impression she was too immature for the role, and the sudden collapse of her studio, Gaumont British Picture Corporation, combined to help her lose the part to Joan Fontaine.

I've heard people who've worked with Alfred Hitchcock say that it was not the most exhilarating experience, and, though I was only about fifteen, I felt something of that. Hitch had everything in his head before he went near the set: therefore one was rather moved around and manipulated, but, having said that, I liked him very much.
