The very reason that she is seldom seen in movies in the '60s coz the movies has become decadent like that movie of hers Lady in a Cage. She hibernated to Paris. In the golden years, i.e. '30s to early '50s, her movies reflect the class, respect and grace though it is in fact the times of world wars in the '30s and the '40s. Movies then are really entertaining and she and other big stars provide comfort to war-weary soldiers. Its a dream to see her and sis Joan Fontaine in person. Thanks.
I personally feel very close to Olivia de Havilland. First we share the same date of our birthday: July 1. And she, along with her younger sister Joan, was born in Japan, where I live now. I was born on July 1, 1975; she, in 1916. I know she lives in Paris and I hope she will celebrate her centennial birthday in five years. She is one of the last actresses who witnessed the golden days of the movie industry.
What a great gal. She's 93. My dad is 93 and currently in the hospital. A few days ago we watched together "The Heiress" on TCM in his room -- he enjoyed it so. Long live both of them!!!
Ms DeHavilland is the only surviving lead from Gone with the Wind. Ms. DeHavilland turned 94 on July 3rd, 2010! She is truly a treasure to the silver screen.
Olivia de Havilland my all-time favorite actress. How can anyone forget her performance in The Heiress - - "Yes, I can be cruel. I've been taught by masters." WOW! I never tire of that movie. I have seen it several times. The entire cast was good and soooo authentic - - 1850s Washington Square in NYC. She deserved the award for that movie. I love Olivia de Havilland. Several people have said my mother's 1930s, 40s and 50s photos resemble her. They were both beautiful.
Pure class. Olivia de Havilland is an outstanding actress and such a lovely woman, truly earning her Academy Awards (especially for her exquisite work in The Heiress). The movie she mentions being in here (Lady in a Cage) is an offbeat, but still rather interesting social thriller in which she is held hostage in her own home by a group of ruffians. She holds that picture together by her compelling performance. A true original, there is no one like Ms. deHavilland.
@srbdirector Totally I luv The Heiress!!! Sir Ralph Richardson is awesome in that one too!!! Score is soooo good too. Miriam Hopkins so full of personality. Montgomery Clift makes you hate him. J/K Lady in a Cage is fun to watch every ten years again too. But The Heiress is a total classic. High rewatch value. :)
She is one of the last stars from the Golden era still alive; Her sister, Joan Fontaine is still alive I believe too...they had a feud for some time...both are true ladies, stars and performers!
@nicksacop They had not spoken in years---usually in a family that is due to a betrayal or an accusation of some sort whether false or true. I've never known what it was about. Only heard some disagreement.
Utterly charming- especially the warm voice and bouncy exit. And I'm happy to say that Ms. Olivia is still with us today, currently in her 90s. Well done.
Olivia was probably very nice--she seems so here. i read that Bette Davis liked her and considered her a friend. She was very good in Hush..hush Sweet Charlotte.
Producer-director writer Joseph L Mankiewicz appeared as a panelist about twice. Olivia wears a great dress, though at this stage she could have worn a flour sack and look sensational.
