When the GoneWithTheWind actress — who died in Paris on July 26 — refused to appear in films 'unsuited to her ability,' a lawsuit followed that would soon weaken the studio system
Olivia de Havilland, then 27, in a scene from 1943’s Princess O’Rourke, her last film under contract at Warner Bros.
Olivia de Havilland — who died July 26 in Paris — was 20 when on May 5, 1936, she signed a seven-year contract with Warner Bros. But seven times during the contract's term, de Havilland declined to appear in pictures that Warners had cast her in. The studio then "suspended" her contract for periods when she wasn't working.
The actress claimed that she declined the roles because the parts "were unsuited to her ability, and which she could not conscientiously portray."
