Cornwall is setting for author's death
The Associated Press
LONDON — Daphne du Maurier,
author of "Beecca," died yesterday
at her home in Cornwall, the wildly
beautiful English province in which
she set many of her celebrated novels
and the supernatural.
She was 81.
Her novels like "Rebecca," "Frenchman's Creek" "My Cousins Rachel," and "JarnataIm" imr "were popular action and became hit movies."
The du Maurier style, vivid and gothic, made for spine-chilling films like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" from her short story, and Nicolas Roeg's "Don't Look Now." from her novella
Dame Daphne, as she was known after being honored by Queen Eliza毕二II, died in her sleep, said her husband, digital executor, Morty Baker Minton.
Daphne du Maurier was born in London on May 13, 1907, one of three daughters of the renowned actor Sir Gerald du Maurier.
Educated by private tutors in Paris, she was 21 when she published her first articles and short stories. In 1935, she wrote The Loving Spirit, appeared in 1931.
The novel captivated a young British army major and led to a story book courtship.
The officer, Frederick A.M. "Boy" Browning, resolved to meet the young woman and journeyed to Paris to find her. They met in 1832 and
married a few months later.
In the same year, she published her second novel, "TII Never be Young Again." "Jamaica Inn," a big seller, followed in 1936, and then came
"Rebecca," about a young bride whose investigating the death of her husband's previous wife leads her into a frightening psychological labyrinth, was published in 1938 and sold 1 million copies in hard cover alone. It was reprinted 39 times, launched Laurence Olivier's movie career opposite Joan Fontaine, and was translated worldwide.
She became Lady Browning with the envolvement of her husband, who had been commander of British Airborne forces in World War II and then treasurer to Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1943, they rented Menabilly, the rambling, often fog-shrouded Georgian manor which had inspired Manzur's fire-flooded mansion in "Rebecca."
The writer's hideaway was a gardener's hat, where she said, "I'd sit inside and chain-smoking, chewing nips and mapping away at my typemaster."
