Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Lester Burnham in "Ameican Beauty", but he had previously won the same category for his role in "The Usual Suspects" (1996).

The film also won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, which went to veteran film maker Conrad L Hall.

"Rebecca" (1940) was Alfred Hitchcock's first American film. Starring Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier, the film tells the story of a meek young woman who meets and marries a rich Englishman...but he is disturbed by the memory of his deceased wife. Manderley is the name of his estate in the English countryside. Mrs. Danvers is his demented housekeeper who is obsessed with the memory of his dead wife.



Joan Fontaine's character delivers the quote above to Laurence Olivier near the end of the film when she realizes how deranged and obsessed Mrs. Danvers really is.
