De Havilland’s profession covered more than 50 years and practically 50 feature films, and she was the last enduring star from Gone with the Wind (1939).
De Havilland, who had lived in Paris since 1960, was central in taking down Hollywood’s studio system, offering stars better contracts.
Olivia Mary de Havilland was born in Tokyo in 1916 and soon moved to California with her family.
