She’s one of the last surviving legends of Hollywood’s golden age.
Her beauty and enigmatic smile saw Olivia de Havilland play alongside the biggest names of the silver screen – Errol Flynn, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift.
Off screen she was romanced by the likes of Jimmy Stewart, John Huston and Howard Hughes – and reportedly turned down the advances of John F Kennedy. She won two best actress Oscars in a career spanning six decades and 49 feature films – many of them considered to be classics.

Congratulations Olivia!
Born on a Dominion Day, July 1.
Amazing... I can’t believe she is still alive!
WOW! I remember in 1981, I was 18 and really became a BIG FAN of the movie, GWTW. I wrote to Olivia and sent it AirMail to her in Paris. She wrote back with a photo, she was 64 then...
She is NOW 100?? Damn, just damn!
Class act ..loved the movie and her.
Olivia de Havilland and her sister Joan Fontaine were two of the most beautiful women of Hollywood’s “Golden Age.”
OMG!
She is still alive!
How wonderful :-)
She has lived in Paris for many years. Traditionally, she read the Christmas story in the Christmas Eve service at the American Cathedral in Paris. I wonder if she still does?
I don’t get the headline
Beyond GWTW, I especially liked her in The Heiress with Sir Ralph Richardson and Monty Clift. Hold Back the Dawn with Charles Boyer was a good one with her too from WWII.
Obvious typo.
Miss de Havilland is being given a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth, and (at almost 101) is the oldest recipient.
wow — cool!
Early Happy 101st Mrs. de Havilland (July 1)!
She was/is truly class personified!
Of her movies I’ve seen, I like her best in “The Snake Pit.”
That movie had a great cast.
That’s amazing!
I just watched GWTW for the umpteenth time a few weeks ago. It doesn’t get old!
She is almost a perennial “Death Pool” selection. And she laughs at them every time!
You are right... NEVER gets old!
“As God as my witness, I’ll never be hungry again!”
Gorgeous to watch with Errol Flynn in “Robin Hood”.....
She’s still hot...
