“You thought you could be Mrs. de Winter, live in her house, walk in her steps, take the things that were hers! But she's too strong for you. You can't fight her - no one ever got the better of her. Never, never. She was beaten in the end, but it wasn't a man, it wasn't a woman. It was the sea!”

Judith Anderson - Mrs. Danvers

“- Mrs. de Winter: You knew that she wore it, and yet you deliberately suggested I wear it. Why do you hate me? What have I done to you that you should ever hate me so?
- Mrs. Danvers: You tried to take her place.”

Joan Fontaine - Mrs. de Winter
Judith Anderson - Mrs. Danvers

“I watched you go down just as I watched her a year ago. Even in the same dress you couldn't compare.”
