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.

Happy 103rd birthday to Dame Olivia De Havilland!
Hey Flora….I can not believe that I did not give her a birthday post yesterday…103 is amazing….but thanks to your comment….she is the July 2nd post of the day….better late than never. Thanks for alerting me to my massive mistake. I will try and not forgot Kirk Douglas’ 103 birthday later this year.
Happy to see that Olivia DeHavilland’s UMR update has been completed. I have seen 38 of her movies.
My current top 5 favourite movies are:
Gone With the Wind
The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Heiress
Princess O’Rourke
They Died With Their Boots On
(my top 5 changes every now and then, but the top 2 remain the same.)
Hey Flora….I figured I would start with the oldest living UMR subjects and work my way done the list as we update the pages. This takes care of the 100 plus year olds…now on to the 90 plus year olds…lol.
Seen all of your favorites with the exception of Princess O’Rourke….I imagine many many people have the same Top 2…..they have to be two of the most famous movies every made.
Good stuff….as always.
Happy 102nd birthday to Olvia de Havilland….looking good for her to be around for the 80th anniversary of Gone With The Wind.
1 An interviewer once mentioned to Olivia the Flynn films and said that he understood Errol always flirted with leading ladies to which she replied “Well he never tried it on with me.”
2 VIDEO COMMENTS
(1) Nice selection of Flynn movies included, 7 out of the 8 Olivia and he made together and my pick of the posters comes from those movies – Died with Boots On, Charge of Light Brigade, Capt Blood and Robin Hood. Lovely colour photo of Olivia in her prime -hope John doesn’t attack you for exploiting color! (2) good to see included Not as a Stranger and Laddie’s Proud Rebel an often overlooked tiny gem (3) I was amazed that Olivia was billed 3rd after Ida Lupino and Paul Henreid in Devotion (4) you and Bruce are completely in accord about Olivia’s Top 5 with just a slight disagreement about order. (5) Solid overall 9.0 presentation in my opinion with many more fine posters than the 4 I’ve highlighted above.
Hello Bob, thanks for the review and rating, much appreciated. Looking at my video I’m noticing the billings on the posters for the first time, something I didn’t really give a crap about before. All thanks to the Myrna Loy fracas between you, John and Bruce in the last zillion posts on here. 😉
So Olivia gets 2nd or 3rd billing on one movie and she gets an Oscar or Globe nomination, on the next film she gets top billed. I think that’s how it works right? [Bob rolls his eyes]
It is refreshing to make a video on a Hollywood legend and not have to note the date of death, 100 years old! That’s incredible! Kirk Douglas is a 100 next month, I hope he makes it. At this point in their lives every morning they wake up is a miracle to be savoured, every hour precious.
1 Some nice thoughts aout Olivia/Kirk with which I agree wholeheartedly.
2. We’ll leave the last word on the billing issue for now to a Brit Richard Burton. As I’ve said before on this site Burton and Lee Marvin made the Klansman together but had never met and were wary of each other’s reputation for contrariness. When Marvin first walked onto the set Richard was already there and Lee said “I suppose you know I get top billing.” to which Dickie instantly replied “I suppose you know I get more money.” Sounds like the sort of exchanges John and I have been having ! Actually because booze was their common bond Burton/Marvin got on together like a house on fire though it is claimed that years later each could not remmeber ever meeting the other!
BOB
Love Burtons reply, thanks for that bit of trivia Bob.
I’ve just noticed Gone With the Wind’s adjusted worldwide gross on Bruce’s page and I am flabbergasted – over 3 billion dollars!! Jeeezus!!
I wonder… does this mean Hattie McDaniel is one of Hollywoods highest grossing actresses? [stop stirring the pot Steve!] 😉
🙂
Hey Bob and Steve…good to know we are close in our rankings. Yep…Kirk is only days away from 100….let’s see….only 3 more weeks for Kirk ….like you I hope he makes it well past 100. As always…good video comments from Bob on Steve’s video.
Hi
There’s a wonderful interview on Youtube, I think it’s part of the Academy archives, where she talks about her career, how she first started with Warner Bros and getting her first role with Erroll Flynn. She went for a secret audition for Gone With The Wind at the home of George Cukor. She goes on to talk about her court case with Warner Bros and winning her 2 Oscars.
It’s one of the best interviews I’ve watched and is a must see for anyone interested in old Hollywood.
The most incredible thing for me is she was 90 at the time of the interview, so articulate and sound. Her memory was fantastic, every detail, even about her childhood days. I can’t recommend it enough.
Hey Chris…I will have to check out that Olivia de Havilland interview. I can only imagine the stories that she is not sharing…..wow…that interview is already 10 years old….as now she is 100 and by all accounts still going strong…now that she has reached 100…I am now hoping she makes it to the 80th anniversary of Gone With The Wind….which is in only 3 years. Thanks again for the suggestion….it sounds like a winner for sure.
