For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie.

Yes. Rebecca is based on a 1938 novel by British writer Daphne du Maurier.

Alfred Hitchcock is known for placing himself in a short cameo in each of his movies. His cameo in Rebecca falls about four minutes into the movie. When Jack Favell [George Sanders] is in a telephone booth calling to tell Dr Danver [Judith Anderson] about Rebecca's suicide, Hitch can be seen from behind, wearing a bowler hat and standing next to the booth.

Maxim does say in the book that the second Mrs de Winter has "a very lovely and unusual name" but, as in the movie, we never find out what it is. Since the novel is written in the first person from Mrs de Winter number two's point-of-view, she refers to herself only as "I" or as "the second Mrs de Winter". This may have been intentional on Daphne du Maurier's part, driving home the idea that the woman is shy and insecure, lacking in personality and defintion, totally unlike Rebecca.
