The legendary Olivia de Havilland was born today on July 1, 1916...which makes her 96. from RC in Austin, Texas
She's definitely a legend!!! As a side note, sometimes I wonder if the rivalry with her sister would have happened with if they lived in today's Hollywood system.

I'll definitely contribute a birthday wish, along with much-deserved plaudits. She gave so many wonderful performances (this back when movies were movies) ((and plays were plays, as well...))
I was so moved by her luminous performance in one of my favorite movies, The Light in the Piazza. Oh why, oh why, oh why-o did they go and ruin that beautiful film with that musical?
In any event, here's wishing Olivia de Havilland the best.

My belated Birthday Wishes to Ms. de Havilland, also. What a great actress with so many wonderful movies to her credit. My favorite: The Heiress.
Would have loved to have seen her on stage in "A Gift of Time" with Henry Fonda. Imagine seeing Olivia de Havilland and Henry Fonda on stage together. Wow.
Happy belated birthday you grand old thing. Someday, I strive to slap the s**t out of some deserving idiot like you did to Bette Davis in "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte."
