"Last night I dreant I went to Manderley again." --The 2ND Mrs. de Winter. Based on the 1938 novel "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, a young and naive British woman meets the handsome and wealthy Maxim de Winter while working as a companion to a wealthy American woman on holiday in Monte Carlo. After a brief courtship, she agrees to marry Maxim. Following the wedding and honeymoon, Max takes his bride home to his estate Manderley in Cornwall, where she is confronted with the immense memory of the late Mrs. de Winter, Rebecca. Manipulated by the housekeeper Mrs Danvers, who has an obsessive fixation on the memory of Rebecca and lingering loyalty, she wrestles with questions about her marriage to Max, her own self worth, and what really happened to Rebecca the night she died. Will they ever be free of Rebecca?

In the 1979 BBC production of "Rebecca", Joana David portrayed the 2nd Mrs. de Winter. She is Emilia Fox's mother.
During WWII, the German Army used the novel "Rebecca" as the key to a book code between Rommel and German Abwehr agents guided by Count Laslo Almasy invading Cairo. However, the code was abandoned when the radio section of HQ was captured in a skirmish, potentially compromising the code.
