OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND?

Olivia de Havilland


OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND (1916-Present), born Olivia Mary de Havilland, was a two-time Academy Award winner, one of the biggest stars in her day, and appeared in two of the most popular movies of all time.





The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)Haven't you seen The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)? She plays a gorgeous and sophisticated Lady Marian in this, the definite version of the legendary thief.

Watch this and then see these other four films.


Gone With the Wind (1939) Her performance as Melanie Hamilton is considered by many to be the best in the movie.
Captain Blood (1935) Her second movie, and the first teaming her with Errol Flynn.
The Strawberry Blonde (1941). This is a delightful film, with a great cast, including James Cagney and Rita Hayworth.
Dodge City (1939) One of my favorite westerns!
