She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1645 Vine Street. Bonita Granville has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to Motion Pictures, at 6607 Hollywood Boulevard. In 1944 she was nominated for The Constant Nymph. Granville died of cancer in Santa Monica, California. The next year she was again nominated, for Suspicion, and this time she won the award. The couple remained married until Wrather's death in 1984. In 1940, Joan received an Academy Award nomination for Rebecca. She appeared in the film version of The Lone Ranger in 1956, and made her final screen appearance in a cameo role in The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981).

Her career seemed to be ready to die, even as her sister's blossomed, but Joan changed her name to Fontaine and began receiving bigger parts in such movies as You Can't Beat Love, Quality Street, The Women and Gunga Din. He bought the rights to both The Lone Ranger and Lassie characters and Granville worked as a producer for several film and television productions featuring these characters. Because Olivia was using the family name, Joan began acting as Joan Burfield, in No More Ladies in 1935. Her career gradually began to fade by the mid 1940s, and in 1947 she married Jack Wrather who had produced some of her films. Both sisters moved to Hollywood to start film careers. She is also remembered for her starring role in the World War II anti-Nazism film Hitler's Children (1943). Joan returned to Tokyo to attend the American School there, but she came back in 1934 to find that her sister was making a name for herself on the stage. As a young adult, she was once again cast in supporting roles, often in prestigious films such as Now, Voyager (1942) as well as two Andy Hardy films with Mickey Rooney.

But Joan's father soon went back to Japan, and he and his wife divorced. The film was a success and Granville reprised her role in three further films. Because Joan and her mother both had frequent illnesses, the family moved to Saratoga, California for their health. In 1938 she played the girl-detective Nancy Drew for the first time. Born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in Tokyo, Japan, the daughter of a British patent attorney with a practice in Japan, she is the younger sister of actress Olivia de Havilland. Despite this success, the next few years brought her few opportunities to build her career although she continued to work. Joan Fontaine (born October 22, 1917) is an international actress. As that child, Granville was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Renamed These Three, it told the story of three adults (played by Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon, and Joel McCrea) who find their lives almost destroyed by the malicious lies of an attention seeking child. Over the next couple of years she played uncredited supporting roles in such films as Little Women (1933) and Anne of Green Gables (1934) before playing the role of Mary in the film adapation of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Granville was the daughter of stage actors, and made her film debut at the age of nine in Westward Passage (1933). Bonita Granville (February 2, 1923 – October 11, 1988) was an American film actress, and later in life a successful television producer.
