Last of the golden greats RIP.
RIP
Perhaps the last big star of the Golden Age.
Wow, RIP Olivia! What a life!
Requiescat in pace
RIP a real star.
Oh, my. She was a gracious and beautiful actress. I enjoyed her work from Robin Hood to Gone With the Wind. RIP, Maid Marian.
De Havilland’s father, Walter de Havilland (1872–1968), served as an English professor at the Imperial University in Tokyo before becoming a patent attorney.[3] Her mother, Lilian Fontaine (née Ruse; 1886–1975),

Lovely woman. RIP Olivia.
Rest in Peace, beautiful, beautiful lady.
Wow. We were all just talking about her a few days ago.
I marveled that at age 104, she was still riding her bicycle.
Her last birth date was July 1st.
I have heard of many elderly or terminally ill patients “willing themselves to stay alive” until some special date has past. Birthday, anniversary, wedding or graduation of a grandchild are some reasons to ‘postpone’ the inevitable.
The last from the Great Hollywood Year of 39.
RIP
A friend of mine who was a Gone with the Wind fan wrote Olivia deHavilland a letter in the late 70s. She received a very gracious response.
A great actress and a very decent person, two qualities missing from today’s Hollywood. I remember reading that she had divorced her husband, but the guy subsequently got some type of terrible illness and needed constant care but she would not leave him.
“The last from the Great Hollywood Year of 39”.
Yes, more good/great movies were made in 1939 than any year in movie history.
There will never be another 1939 regarding quality movies..
RIP to a good lady.
A lot of women 40 years younger would like to have those gams.
