Los Angeles: Joan Fontaine's best actress Oscar trophy that she won for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1941 movie 'Suspicion' is slated to go under the hammer later this year.
Fontaine, who died last year at the age of 96, became the only actress to ever win an Oscar for a Hitchcock movie. She was also nominated for best actress for her role in another Hitchcock movie 'Rebecca'.
The sale of Oscar statuette is very rare because starting from 1950, the Academy has barred the winners, their estates or heirs from selling the trophy before first offering it to the Academy for USD 1.
