Olivia de Havilland turns 100: An appreciation
SF Chronicle ^ | 6/29/16 | G. Allen Johnson

One would like to think that Olivia de Havilland, the last remaining cast member from “Gone With the Wind” and, indeed, the last remaining female star from Hollywood’s Golden Age, had a vibrant lunch among friends at her Paris residence to celebrate her 100th birthday on Friday, July 1.

I remember back in 1969, my parents were on a 90 day cruise on the QE2 and they wrote to my brother and I and said that they met Olivia de Havilland and her husband on board. I was in college and my brother was doing his internship, so we didn’t go.
