In that picture she looks amazing for 103
Amazing.
By her expression and gestures, she looks like she still has all her marbles. Good for her and Happy Birthday, Olivia!
She looks more like 78-82.
Shes amazing!
I hear that she still rides her bicycle a few times a week.
I am truly impressed.
Melanie was always the most intriguing character in the book and movie, for me.
(A few days ago, a woman 107 years old was celebrated on the local news here. I believe she was featured because she had suffered Covid and survived. She looked no older than many 75-80 year old women that I’ve seen.)
Her younger sister, Joan Fontaine, passed away a few years ago at the young age of.........96
Happy Birthday, Olivia!
Happy Birthday Olivia.
Shes’s a racist and probably owned slaves. /sarc
Of the 4 main stars Melanie is the one that dies at the end of GWTW. In real life the exact opposite. Leslie Howard died very shortly after in WWII. Gable and Leigh in the 1960s.
I’m 52 and i go to the refrigerator a few times a day :-) I cannot believe this woman is twice as old as me and looks in bettet shape
If you ever meet Olivia, be sure that you don’t mention how much you also enjoyed seeing her sister on the silver screen.
Olivia and sister Joan Fontaine were bitter rivals and enemies for decades. Nobody fully knows why. Joan died at age 96 in 2013
The Heiress 1949. Great movie, and Carol Burnett’s spoof of it is one of the funniest things ever on TV.
Interestingly enough, she was born in Tokyo before WWII.
And still sitting in the parlor, awaiting the arrival of her intended, Morris, I imagine.
I know. Olivia was never exactly beautiful, but she has a sense of strength, clarity and grace all braided together.
She makes you pay attention.
There are certain people you meet, where before knowing much about them, you realize you just met someone special, formidable and of great consequence.
Amazing lady. Wishing her many more. Break a record!
