[bluedevil]

Died today in her sleep..was 140...

 

[Scud49]

Wow, what a class act she was from Hollywood's golden age. She was superb in GWTW.

 

[Kaizen]

Oh, 104 not 140 ... otherwise she should be from Mars

'Gone With the Wind' star Olivia de Havilland dies at 104

 

[bluedevil]

I was giving her the benefit of the doubt..140 just sounded more impressive....but know she is truly Gone With The Wind..sad

 

[donalddoowop]

One of my favorites and one of the prettiest Hollywood actresses ever. I thought she died years ago.

 

[Jingo]

I remember her more from "Robin Hood" w/ Errol Flynn .. her chemistry w/ Flynn was palpable...

RIP ,Olivia. That makes Eva Marie Saint the oldest surviving star, I think. She is 96.

Nominated for four oscars, won one. Her and sister Joan Fontaine are the only siblings to wins oscars. She was James Cagneys wife in the Strawberry Blond and had to go up against a young Rita Hayworth. If you get a chance, it's entertaining. Also had the lead in the Snake Pit. Unfortunately in her later years she was relegated to movies like "Lady In A Cage".

"...and had to go up against a young Rita Hayworth. If you get a chance, it's entertaining."
I think it would be be more than just entertaining to go up against a young Rita Hayworth , my friend.

Maybe Olivia and her sister Joan can finally talk to each other now.

BEST! martial arts fillum ever made was, "Enter the Dragon" starring Saxon and Bruce Lee!

Saxon's tilt with Bolo was 2nd only to Lee's bout with O'Hara, eh?

[Kaizen]

Enter The Dragon with Bruce Lee

 

[DaddyChoc]

I agree... on of the GREATEST action movies ever

Olivia D was in many of my favorite movies even today. Captain Blood, was the first movie in which she and Errol Flynn appeared. She made most movies better and made her co-stars even better.

 

[browns]

GWTW..Robin Hood ..They died with they're boots on..great films...read once that she was in love with Errol Flynn while they were making numerous movies together...but seems that he liked his gals younger

 

[Alibi Ike]

One of her greatest performances was in THE HEIRESS.

 

[huskeynut]

She was terrific in that movie. I never pass up a chance to watch it when it runs on TCM

 

[Hope]

Nice kip-up @1:41

 

[Waquoit]

I was giving her the benefit of the doubt..140 just sounded more impressive.

She was still giving them hell a few years ago, suing producers who misrepresented her in a TV show. I bet they thought she was dead.

This is amazing. Apparently she was deeply involved in destroying Communist influence in Hollywood:

How Olivia de Havilland and Ronald Reagan Beat the Hollywood Communists | National Review

After discovering the true nature of a Communist front group, she worked as a double agent to help bring them down.

www.nationalreview.com

Her lawsuit against against Warner Bros. during World War II freed performers from the restrictive studio system too.

A very smart, very courageous lady. May she rest in peace.

She had a very impressive resume.

I am so glad no poster remarked that she will be missed. You see this so often with older people in the intertainment industry. Yes they will be missed by their families and friends, but will always continue to live on for their fans in the movies, video, etc that they were part of. With older stars, most of the time their legacy has already been accomplished. So saying they will be missed is sort of silly.
