Olivia de Havilland, the last surviving starlet of Hollywood’s Golden Age and leader of a studio rebellion to end stars’ crippling contracts, had a legendary career. Here are a few of her most memorable performances.

De Havilland, the last surviving starlet of Hollywood’s Golden Age, appeared in a 1935 Hollywood Bowl production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” led to a Warner Bros. contract she later fought to escape. Her lawsuit led to “De Havilland’s Law,” which limits such contracts to seven years.

She was paired eight times with Errol Flynn, who often played a thief, pirate, or thieving pirate trying to steal her heart. Their most famous film was 1938’s “The Adventures of Robin Hood.”

De Havilland played Scarlett O’Hara’s frenemy Melanie, who is, let’s be honest, more sympathetic than Scarlett, in “Gone With the Wind,” the top-grossing film ever, adjusted for inflation.

She appeared in some of her most acclaimed films after she left Warner Bros., winning two Oscars. The first was for the romantic drama “To Each His Own.” She and her sister, Joan Fontaine, are the only siblings to win best lead actor Oscars.

She was paired in the 1964 psychological thriller “Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte” with friend Bette Davis, with whom she sometimes vied for roles.

Olivia De Havilland, nicknamed “Livvy” by her sister, was born July 1, 1916 in Tokyo, Japan. She lives now in Paris.
