Olivia de Havilland died at age 104, her former lawyer confirmed to Variety: 'Last night, the world lost an international treasure, and I lost a dear friend and beloved client. She died peacefully in Paris'
, saying de Havilland died from natural causes on Sunday at her residence in Paris.
Described as “the last surviving star” of “Gone With the Wind” for more than 50 years, after Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard and Clark Gable died much earlier, she rarely capitalized on that fact, staying mostly out of the limelight and preferring to live a quiet life in France. Though the film was not a success, de Havilland was signed to a seven-year contract by Warners. The actress accommodated the studio’s demands — to a point. She tolerated her time in the spotlight, but later remarked, “Overnight success can be a dangerous thing. I didn’t understand what was happening to me.”
Her other roles in those years largely required her to be only sweet and pretty. But under that demure facade was an iron will, which showed up offscreen. She clashed with Warners and was suspended several times. She won a battle to play Melanie in the 1939 “Gone With the Wind” and made the most of the role, revealing layers of strength and determination under the character’s sweet exterior, which made her the perfect foil to Leigh’s stormy Scarlett.
Her victory, known as “the de Havilland decision,” freed many actors from imprisoning contracts and allowed for negotiation with the studios for much more favorable terms. It also proved to be another nail in the coffin for the old studio system.
