Gone With The Wind's Olivia de Havilland Turns 100



Timelessly elegant at 100: Gone With The Wind's Olivia de Havilland celebrates milestone birthday and finally breaks silence on Golden Age of Hollywood's most infamous sibling rivalry

  • The actress has disclosed her true feelings about her late sister Joan Fontaine
  • Both sisters were nominated for an Academy Award in 1942 
  • Fontaine, who was then the lesser known sister, won for Suspicion while de Havilland had been nominated for Hold Back the Dawn
  • Rivalry dates back to their childhood which included 'savage' physical fights 
  • De Havilland refers to the late Fontaine as 'Dragon Lady'
  • While she is losing her sight and hearing, she remains in otherwise good heath and lives in Paris
  • She reveals why she went for the role of Melanie Hamilton from Gone With The Wind, and not Scarlett O'Hara
Gone With The Wind's Olivia de Havilland, who turns 100 on Friday, has finally broken her silence on Hollywood's most famous sibling rivalry. 
The actress is one of the last living remnants of Hollywood's Golden Age and has now disclosed her true feelings about her late sister Joan Fontaine, revealing that she calls her 'Dragon Lady.'
Posing on a chaise longue in a demure black dress in her Saint James Paris residence, the still-glamorous two-time Oscar winner quipped that only 'the pearls are fake,' before she agreed to answer more detailed questions via email - her preferred mode of communication because of her failing hearing and vision.
