Olivia de Havilland, one of the glamorous stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age in the 1940s, has died. She passed at the age of 104.

 

De Havilland died at her home in Paris, the city where she lived since the ’50s. Her publicist said she died of natural causes.

 

De Havilland won Oscars for her roles in “The Heiress” and “To Each His Own”. She also starred in “The Snake Pit” and “Hold Back the Down”. Her most prominent role was in the 1939 epic “Gone With the Wind.”.

She was nominated for an Oscar for the role but did not win. She was the last surviving cast member.

Off-screen, she took on the studios at a time when they had complete control over their stars.

Backed by the Screen Actors Guild, she took Warner Brothers to court in 1943 when it added time to her original contract as a penalty for turning down roles.

The California Supreme Court ruled in her favour in what became known as the De Havilland Law, which loosened the grip studios had on their actors.

 

Olivia De Havilland was married twice, first to author Marcus Goodrich from 1946 to 1953 and then Galante, editor of the French magazine Paris Match. She is survived by her daughter, Gisele Galante Chulack, her son-in-law Andrew Chulack and her niece Deborah Dozier Potter.
