Olivia de Havilland, Sophisticated Star of Hollywood's Golden Age, Dies at 104
quote:

The two-time Oscar winner, so memorable in 'Gone With the Wind,' 'The Adventures of Robin Hood,' 'The Snake Pit' and 'The Heiress,' broke free of Warner Bros. with a watershed court triumph in the 1940s.

Tragic to see a great actress cut down in her prime. RIP.

Gone with the Wind is not the role I would have chosen first. If course is good, but she's 4th billed. She's great as the actual lead in so many classics. Hold back the Dawn, The Proud Rebel, In This Our Life, Lady in a Cage of your getting weird.

MFing Captain Blood!

Captain Blood and Robin Hood. She was at her hottest when she worked with Errol Flynn. Rumor was that Flynn tried everything to get in her pants and she always rebuffed him.

She’ll always be Maid Marian. Just as Errol Flynn will always be Robin Hood.

Good god that article was brutal to read on the iPhone. It’s like it’s constantly reloading the entire time. The scroll jumps around then you have to refine your place and it crashed twice while I was reading it. I wonder if they do that to make it look like more clicks than they’re actually getting?

Let's just say very doubtful, as you can hear her
speak about the making of Robin Hood.

There is a scene in the movie, she is standing in front of Flynn in her shear dress and rubbing up against him to make him disconformable, as he is in the shear hose he wore in the movie; this is pay back in their relationship from long ago (she said it was about the snake thing in They died with their boots on). But as can be easily seen 1939 Robin Hood, 1941 They Died With Their Boots On, what ever happened, happened before 1938.

With the end of her life comes the end of an era. She was one of the last remaining links to the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Indeed, but then was capable of dark, chilling roles like The Heiress or Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. She really could do it all.

One of the coolest Oscar moments was about a decade ago when she actually showed up to present the living best actor winners from over the years. I know Hollywood loves kissing their own asses at award shows, but she was treated like royalty that night.

She was in the top three of my golden era of Hollywood beauties list, with Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman.

Her legal battles with the studios are why actors get much larger cuts of movies and bigger contracts. They all have her to thank for that, and we have her to blame.

Idk if she's the last or not but she's got to be one of the last actors/actresses that worked in the 30s that are still alive. I bet that was an interesting time frame to live in. She was a great actress.

The Heiress was a good movie. She played that part perfectly.
