Olivia de Havilland, last surviving lead of ‘Gone with the Wind,’ dies at 104

De Havilland went on to earn her own Academy Award in 1946 for her performance in “To Each His Own,” a melodrama about out-of-wedlock birth. A second Oscar came three years later for “The Heiress,” in which she portrayed a plain young homebody (as plain as it was possible to make de Havilland) opposite Montgomery Clift and Sir Ralph Richardson in an adaptation of Henry James’ “Washington Square.”

  1. Kirk Douglas died earlier this year at age 103 and now Olivia de Havilland at age 104. If there are any 105 year old movie stars out there they better watch out. 2020 is coming for them.

      1. Poor Carl Reiner, to die at such a young age. I seem to remember one of his best friends celebrated his 2000th birthday about 50 years ago.
