Olivia de Havilland, the last living Hollywood diva of the 1930s, turned 103
The last living Hollywood screen diva of the 1930s, Olivia de Havilland, has turned 103. Olivia is a two-time Oscar winner and a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Incidentally, she is also the last surviving actress of "Gone with the Wind". In 2018 her name appeared in the news in connection with her lawsuit against the makers of the epic miniseries "Feud", about the rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, for portraying her in a false light and using her name and image without permission. You may remember Olivia in the role of the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna in the television film about Anastasia, for which she won a Golden Globe.
Olivia de Havilland is the elder sister of the Oscar-winning diva Joan Fontaine, who worked with Hitchcock. The rivalry between the sisters was so great that they broke off all contact. There is a well-known remark of Joan's on the subject: "I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia, and if I die first, she'll be livid." And so it came to pass: Joan died in 2013, in her 97th year.
