Olivia de Havilland, a famous on-screen character of Hollywood's Brilliant Age and last enduring cast individual from "Gone with the Breeze," has passed on at age 104, her agents said Sunday.
"The previous evening, the world lost a worldwide fortune, and I lost a dear companion and cherished customer," her previous legal advisor Suzelle M. Smith said in an email to NBC News. "She passed on calmly in Paris."
Olivia de Havilland, a famous entertainer of Hollywood's Brilliant Age and last enduring cast individual from "Gone with the Breeze," has kicked the bucket at age 104, her agents said Sunday.
"The previous evening, the world lost a global fortune, and I lost a dear companion and darling customer," her previous legal advisor Suzelle M. Smith said in an email to NBC News. "She passed on calmly in Paris."
The Northern California-raised de Olivia de Havilland had been living in Paris for a considerable length of time, following her union with the late Pierre Galante, official supervisor of renowned French magazine Paris Match. Galante passed on in 1998.
Olivia de Havilland made jokes about her amazing life span — even right in 1962 — in her journal, "Each Frenchman Has One." The revered entertainer composed, over 50 years back, that the vast majority must accept she's dead.
"Thus, when I wonder in the event that you realize that I live in France, I'm certain you don't, on the grounds that I am sure that you think me calmly buried, and in old fashioned local American soil. On the off chance that that is the situation, you're in for a shock," Olivia de Havilland composed. "By golly, I'm alive, good. also, I do live in France, and not under however on head of strong Parisian limestone."
Olivia de Havilland was selected for five Oscars and brought home best on-screen character respects twice — in 1947 for "Whatever floats His Boat" and in 1950 for "The Beneficiary."
However, she'll be best associated with her work in "Gone With the Breeze," getting a 1940 best supporting on-screen character designation for playing Melanie "Mellie" Hamilton.
While "Gone With the Breeze," and its romanticized take on the Before the war South, hasn't matured well, de Havilland said the film — and seeing old companions on screen — brought her satisfaction late throughout everyday life.
"Fortunately, it doesn't make me despairing," she disclosed to Diversion Week by week upon her 99th birthday celebration. "At the point when I see them energetically alive on screen, I experience a sort of get-together with them, an euphoric one."
"Gone with the Breeze" created the main Dark Oscar victor, as Hattie McDaniel won best supporting on-screen character for her job as Mammy.
The evening of the 1940 Oscars, Olivia de Havilland said she was squashed that she didn't win and flippantly accepted the slight demonstrated "there was no God." It took her fourteen days to understand the authentic effect of a Dark entertainer winning Hollywood gold.
"After fourteen days, despite everything agonizing about the way that there was no God, I woke up one morning and felt, 'That is completely superb that Hattie got the honor!' Hattie merited it and she got it," de Havilland told The Related Press in 2004.
"I thought I'd much fairly face a daily reality such that a Dark entertainer who gave a sublime presentation got the honor rather than me."
As of late, Olivia de Havilland was star of her own court dramatization as she tried to document suit against producers of the FX arrangement "Fight: Bette and Joan," which focused on the contention between entertainers Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
The country's high court in January decided without remark that it would not take the on-screen character's case, letting stand a California bids court's 2018 choice tossing out her common activity.
