    Happy Birthday Olivia

    100 tomorrow and last living member of epic Gone With The Wind. And Errol Flynn's main squeeze in several memorable flicks like Robinhood, They Died with their Boots On and Captain Blood!

    Two-time Oscar-winning actress and “Gone With the Wind” star Olivia de Havilland celebrates her 100th birthday on Friday.

      I always thought the she was beautiful and cute at the same time (if that makes any sense)?
      and she really took to the camera well and was a gifted actress during a time when a movie
      didn't need, sex-violence and swearing to get attention, so happy centennial birthday, to one
      of the best.

        They should do a "golden years" version of Gone with the Wind" with her now.

            She is the last of the "Golden Age of Hollywood" stars. She still has more glamour today than 99.999% of all actresses alive. Movie Critic Leonard Maltin said it best about "Gone with the Wind" when he said the following, "if not the greatest American movie ever made, certainly, the greatest example of story-telling ever made."

            I also loved her in "To Each his Own" and "The Heiress." Simply one of the greatest actresses ever -- and she has long-since out-lived them all!

                  Gone With The Wind 9:15 pm on TCM for anyone who wants to see it. Highly recommended.

                  Actually looks like a marathon. Action hero fans, Robinhood and Captain Blood airing over night. Set the DVRs. You will not be disappointed!

                    Captain Blood is excellent.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      Tonight at 10 pm EST, TCM is showing The Heiress, for which de Havilland won an Oscar. It's my favorite film of hers, featuring a deft, heartbreaking performance. The film is an adaptation of a Broadway play, which was itself based upon a Henry James novella.

                      I highly recommend it.
