In a little less than a month, the legendary Dame Olivia de Havilland will be celebrating her 103rd birthday on July 1st, a monumental occasion that is celebrated worldwide.

To honor Olivia and her indelible legacy, Laura from Phyllis Loves Classic Movies and myself from In The Good Old Days Of Classic Hollywood, are elated to be shining the spotlight on Olivia for the fourth consecutive year.

      5. I’m happy with most topics and acting talent as long as they have a prolific and lengthy career and then everyone can join in. If you have any more ideas we’ve plenty of time to discuss them, but do lke your biopics idea.

  7. Dear Crystal,

    1. Hey Rebecca. I’m really sorry but two people has already claimed “The Adventures of Robin Hood” before you registered. What happened is that I forgot to add them to the roster, because one blogger registered over Facebook, and the other left a comment on my blog, but for some reason I forgot to add them to the roster. It’s my mistake. Is there another topic you would like to write about?

    The Heiress is my favorite drama film of all time. What a story! The 1850’s settings are magnificent. Each time I view it I feel as though I’m actually in 1850’s Washington Square New York City. The authentic clothes, horses and carriages, dance scenes, music, even boarding the vessel to Europe with her father are breathtakingly beautiful, and I haven’t even mentioned the acting yet. Olivia de Havilland was superb as were the other cast members. Perfect casting, perfect settings, and what a compelling story that held my interest throughout the entire film. An ending like I’ve never seen in any other film. I bought it so whenever I’m in the mood, which is often, I can view it again especially to look at her face and hear those lines: “Yes, I can be very cruel. I’ve been taught by masters.”
