She was Errol Flynn’s favorite leading lady…..they made 9 movies together. She is one of only thirteen actresses to win more than one Best Actress Oscar®. She was one of the most popular actresses in the 1930s and 1940s. She is the oldest living acting Oscar® winner….she took over that spot when Luis Rainier passed away last year. She was in my book, the best ever Maid Marian to ever appear on movie screens….1938’s The Adventures of Robin Hood. Shebwas one of the last surviving cast members of 1939’s Gone With The Wind. She was in the best killer bee movie ever made….ok….maybe The Swarm was not a career highlight for her. She was nominated for an Oscar® 5 times in her career.
That is one impressive resume for the latest Ultimate Movie Rankings page subject…..Olivia de Havilland. Olivia de Havilland (1916-2000) had 59 acting credits from 1935-1988. In the table below Ultimate Movie Rankings ranks 48 of her movies in 6 different sortable columns. Movies made for television, television appearances and cameos were not included in the rankings.

Hi, and I am celebrating both Canada Day and Olivia’s 100th birthday today at the same time.
I ranked favourite Olivia movies on letterboxd for her birthday.
Re: Frank Sinatra update- consider that my request.
Hey Flora….Happy Canada Day. I will have to check out your Olivia letterboxes list. I actually cranked out about 30 reviews there the last few days….almost caught up. Bing Crosby is my next update person…..then I can get Frank’s page fixed.
Great. I consider Frank and Bing to be forever linked.
1 No I never requested Frank.
2. However I have been very active in other ways in relation to your site. Your top 25 grosses for most of the top stars that you have covered were transcribed into my own database
as you posted each new page over the past 5 years and of course I’m now moving in tandem with you in updating the figures as you issue the new ones.
3 I have in addition been copying into the database your worldwide figures as you have posted them. Also you are aware that on the basis of your ticket inflation grosses I have been able to do corresponding purchasing power calculations and these too have gone into my database. It started to wobble when you produced those conflicting figures for The Towering Inferno etc. However it has settled down again since you regularised matters !
4 Indeed it was those conflicting figures that coaxed me “out of the shadows” as you expressed it. I needed to contact you because as Broderick Crawford who was obsessed with being The Fastest Gun Alive in the film of that name said when he was wondering whether he or Glenn Ford was the quickest: ” I have to know. I have to know!”
5 Back to Frank. I am please that you hinted that you would be updating him soon as I have a Frank/Duke story that I want to get off my chest and I’ve been saving it for the update.
Hey Bob.
1. So the mystery of who “Me” is continues. I think WoC is back to being the lead suspect again…..though she says it is not her.
2. Patting myself on the back ……lots of updated pages and still got out 17 new pages in June…..and WoC still loves me.
3. Sorry for the wobble….the updates are like falling dominoes…..I updated this page….and now some of the worldwide numbers don’t match what I have on my Errol Flynn page….so I have to go back and fix that page. It is like taking two steps forward and one step back.
4. Funny Broderick Crawford quote…..so The Towering Inferno is the movie that got you out of the shadows….very interesting.
5. Upcoming schedule a new Walter Wanger page is coming….an update to the Bing Crosby page then we can get to Frank.
Thanks for sharing your movie thoughts.
1 Glad W of C still loves you.
2 Now I’m not that good at keeping count like you and the other folks do about movie scores.
3 However even I can count up to 2 so I now know that at least 2 women love you ! ! !
Hey Bob…WoC’s latest masters degree class is one that deals with statistics and ways to extract better stats from thousands of stats…..she is all excited about….and says in time I will equally be excited about it too……sounds like a UMR computer update is coming.
I am a lucky man lots of good women in my life.
This sounds like th best partnership since Tracy and Hepburn No billing problems?
Hey Bob…..No billing issues at all…..lol.
I’ve seen 24 of the listed movies.
Hey Larry…..thanks for the tally count. This was one of the very first new pages written for this website. So this tally count only goes back about 14 months versus 5 years for some of the other ones.
Larry 24 Flora 20 me 13 and Steve 12
Thanks for checking this one out on her 100th birthday.
You beat me by 2!
🙂
Not as a stranger” with frank and robt mitchum is one of my favorites. Happy Birthday.
Hey Barbara G. I never understood why this movie rarely gets mentioned. (1) It was a hit (2) The cast is legendary…Olivia, Frank , Robert Mitchum and Lee Marvin. Yet it is almost like a forgotten movie now. Confusing for sure.
i agree—-alot of good movies are really forgotten–like “Dark Passage” with Bogart—and “Wrritten on the wind”–with Bacall and Rock Hudson– great stories–also “Marjorie Morningstar” with Natalie Wood—also “How to murder your wife”–with Jack Lemmon—all great films.
I think Dark Passage gets mentioned pretty often…but I agree with you about Written on the Wind, Marjorie Morningstar and How To Murder Your Wife. Just does not make much sense.
I have seen it and I love it.
GOOD AFTERNOON (HERE) BRUCE
1 You must have all these birthdays well flagged up. I presume if the stars are still around you send them presents (with exception of George of course).
2 When you exclude GWTW and all the Errol Flynn and Bette Davis movies, in which Olivia was just the second star, her movies probably would not have a tremendous overall domestic gross. I haven’t yet got a chance to examine the partial list of worldwide grosses that you have again excelled your self by providing.
3 She was though a lovely girl in the Flynn days but she insists that he never got anywhere with her. She was also a tremendous actress, most to be admired in my view as Big Bob’s mousy wife in Not as a Stranger. However after that her career seemed to decline and I think she had only one more hit as a star- Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte (1964) again 2nd billed to Davis. Airport 77 was a biggie but it was a Jack Lemmon/ensemble picture.
4 I enjoyed your interesting facts. . In general those and the grosses were all I used to read. I have always been more interested in the commercial and acting elements of the cinema than in ‘gossip’ and I never thought the comments would appeal to me. Then a few months ago I chanced to glance down a few of them and realised that people like Flora,Steve Laurent,and the Oracle himself of course ! knew quite a bit and were coming out with some sharp observations. So it occurred to me that I could learn something by paying more attention to what everybody else was saying. I can’t go back over 5 years of comments of course but I am now reading the remarks and opinions in all new stuff and the updates as well
1. Actually I woke up this morning….and saw she was the 2nd trending subject on yahoo….and I thought oh no…she passed away…..but thankfully it was just because today is such a great birthday….100 years old….Errol’s favorite leading lady still going strong. Then I quickly updated her page….it was one of the first new ones we wrote here…..and it looked horrible…..it is much better now. Currently her career box office is the top of all the actresses I have pages on….1. Olivia, 2. Bette 3. Elizabeth T. 4. Joan 5. Claudette…..though I am pretty sure M. Loy will top here whenever I get around to her update.
2. True she had great success with Flynn and Davis….but two of her Top 5 box office hits were stand alone Olivia movies.
3. I agree…..after her two Oscar wins and at the height of her power she decided to concentrate on her family and walked away from Hollywood…..imagine if she had maintained being focused on her movie career.
4. When you first started commenting…you quickly impressed me with your knowledge about the website and things we had written…..at first I thought you were somebody new to the site and had binged viewed all the classic pages. It was cool when I realized you had been reading all this time….though quietly in the shadows. I would say only a small percentage of people actually comment….which is fine….as long as they visit the site in the first place. One of my favorite things to look at is seeing the hits/impressions from all over the world. Each day I look to see if I reached all 50 states the day before…North Dakota is not very supportive of the website…lol. Then I look at the countries….on average I reach about 80 different countries a day. Glad that you are out of the shadows and commenting.
5. So to find the tally counts for Larry’s Olivia comment, I had to go and check out the older comments…..and I saw that a person named “Me” had requested Frank Sinatra….so since #4 was still in my head…..the question….”Is Bob “Me””? popped into me. Was that you popping out of the shadows for a little bit and requesting Frank?
