Here's what you need to know before you see Rebecca. Some of the best stories ever told have roots in real life, and Rebecca is no different. In 1932, young Daphne du Maurier met Frederick Browning, a decorated officer in the British Army. They quickly fell in love and got married, only for certain secrets to later come to light. And so the seeds of Rebecca were planted. By 1938, the novel was done, and du Maurier released Rebecca to the world. It was an immediate hit, selling double the estimated number of copies at launch, and it hasn't been out of print since. In 2019, the BBC named it one of the "most inspiring" novels ever. It's an undisputed classic, and one of the most popular books ever written.
