  Rebecca Romijn-Stamos at Abstracts.net - pics news pictures pix
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos comes off as perhaps the most intelligent and level headed of the Supermodels, and it is quite possibly for this very reason that she seems to have enjoyed the most success of any of her peers outside of the business.
Rebecca Romijn (pronounced row-main, like the lettuce) was born in Berkeley, California and had planned a musical career as she was majoring in music at University of California Santa Cruz when a Parisian modeling scout discovered her and signed her up with a San Francisco modeling agency.
Rebecca genuinely seems to have a strong affection for her husband John and has said at some point she'd like to explore the field of motherhood as well as all the other projects that keep her busy.

In the United States, Rebecca’s a Grammy winner who quoted Scripture during her acceptance speech and who writes compelling faith editorials and bestselling devotional books away from the microphone.
“Rebecca's commitment to God and His Word have clearly been the central tenets of her music and ministry, and I think that's the main reason for her success and her popularity,” says Mark Moring of Campus Life magazine.
In 1999, Rebecca’s reach extended dramatically with the song, “Yes, I Believe In God,” which tapped the social and spiritual soft spots of American culture in the aftermath of the Columbine High School tragedy.

 Daphne du Maurier Book Reviews
The narrator knows that Rebecca was drowned in a boating accident in the bay, and Maxim tells her that he identified her body when it was found about two months later, forty miles up the coast but Maxim is very upset and does not want to talk about it any more.
Rebecca has been variously described, firstly as an example of the Cinderella story but with the central character being helped from rags to riches by the older man who marries her rather than the more traditional help of a fairy godmother.
There is another school of thought that believes the Rebecca, Maxim, narrator triangle is a reproduction of the relationship between Daphne du Maurier and her father and mother or perhaps Daphne, her husband Tommy and his previous fiancée.

The eponymous Rebecca, the first Mrs De Winter, is actually dead before the novel begins and never appears 'on stage' in person, but her presence in the book is so strong.
Rebecca herself is an unforgettable character and the De Winter mansion, Manderely, is a looming presence in the novel, almost another character.
Rebecca herself is the mystery in this book as the second Mrs De Winter has almost a fascination with this 'rival', and slowly the circumstances surrounding her mysterious death come to light.

 Rebecca West & the tragedy of Yugoslavia by Richard Tillinghast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Rebecca West was perhaps better informed about the Nazis than her contemporaries: her husband, who was part Jewish and had lived in Germany as a child, had business interests that took him often to Germany and Central Europe.
But then Dame Rebecca made her entrance, in a gold-braided kaftan, supported on a malacca cane, two or three pairs of spectacles swinging on cords round her neck, and proceeded to give the visitor the time of his life.
I suspect that Rebecca West, in rejecting suffering and sacrifice as a redemptive part of life, was kicking against the misery of her own early years, including the endless difficulties presented by her unhappy love affair with H. Wells.

"Rebecca" was the first Hitchcock film I ever saw, and I was mesmerized by it from the start, convinced that I had to see more of the director's work.

 Salon | Television: "Rebecca"
The three-and-a-half hour "Rebecca" (which has already aired in the U.K.) is the fourth filming of the novel but, really, Hitchcock's cork-popper is still the one that counts.
("Rebecca" was Hitchcock's first American movie and the only one of his films to win the Academy Award for best picture.) Late in his life, Hitchcock told an interviewer he'd thought du Maurier's novel was "humorless," and maybe he was right.
Hitchcock's depiction of Danvers' and Rebecca's possible lesbian attachment is not a flattering one -- Danvers is quite mad and the polysexual and cruel Rebecca is revealed to have been both barren and rotten with cancer -- but then this was all lifted straight from du Maurier.
