Career assessment and legacy

Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 6762 Hollywood Blvd.[279]
De Havilland's career spanned 53 years, from 1935 to 1988.[1] During that time, she appeared in 49 feature films, and was one of the leading movie stars during the golden age of Classical Hollywood. She began her career playing demure ingénues opposite male stars such as Errol Flynn, with whom she made her breakout film Captain Blood in 1935. They would go on to make eight more feature films together, and became one of Hollywood's most successful on-screen romantic pairings.[231] Her range of performances included roles in most major movie genres. Following her film debut in the Shakespeare adaptation A Midsummer Night's Dream, de Havilland achieved her initial popularity in romantic comedies, such as The Great Garrick and Hard to Get, and Western adventure films, such as Dodge City and Santa Fe Trail.[1] In her later career, she was most successful in drama films, such as In This Our Life and Light in the Piazza, and psychological dramas playing non-glamorous characters in films such as The Dark Mirror, The Snake Pit, and Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte.[231]

During her career, de Havilland won two Academy Awards (To Each His Own and The Heiress), two Golden Globe Awards (The Heiress and Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna), two New York Film Critics Circle Awards (The Snake Pit and The Heiress), the National Board of Review Award, and the Venice Film Festival Volpi Cup (The Snake Pit), and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination (Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna).[280]

For her contributions to the motion picture industry, de Havilland received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6762 Hollywood Boulevard on February 8, 1960.[279] Since her retirement in 1988, her lifetime contribution to the arts has been honoured on two continents. In 1998, she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Hertfordshire in England.[281]


Receiving the National Medal of Arts from President George W. Bush, 2008
In 2006, she was inducted into the Online Film & Television Association Award Film Hall of Fame.[282]

The moving-image collection of Olivia de Havilland is held at the Academy Film Archive, which preserved a nitrate reel of a screen test for Danton, Max Reinhardt's never-produced follow-up to A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935).[283]

De Havilland, as a confidante and friend of Bette Davis, is featured in the series Feud: Bette and Joan, portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones. In the series, de Havilland reflects on the origins and depth of the Davis-Crawford feud and how it affected contemporary female Hollywood stars. On June 30, 2017, a day before her 101st birthday, she filed a lawsuit against FX Networks and producer Ryan Murphy for inaccurately portraying her and using her likeness without permission.[284] Although FX attempted to strike the suit as a strategic lawsuit against public participation, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Holly Kendig denied the motion in September 2017, and also granted de Havilland's request to advance the trial date (a motion for preference) and set trial for November 2017.[285] An interlocutory appeal of Judge Kendig's ruling was argued in March 2018.[286] A three-justice panel of the California Court of Appeal of the Second District ruled against the defamation suit brought by De Havilland (that is, by ruling the trial court erred in denying the defendants' motion to strike), in a published opinion by Justice Anne Egerton that affirmed the right of filmmakers to embellish the historical record and that such portrayals are protected by the First Amendment.[287][288] De Havilland appealed the decision to the Supreme Court in September 2018, which declined to review the case.[289][290]

 

excellent copy & paste job

 

I’ve only seen 3 of her movies including the Swarm on TV

 

Someone should create a post for just obituaries rather than having to constantly create a new thread in breaking news for the latest celebrity passing

 

firstly, one should write a decent obituary rather than copy & paste every bracket from the wikipedia page that was already linked to the thread

 

Don't criticize those that try their best.
Nobody is perfect!

Very talented and beautiful women. As I was searching I came across this jpeg. Olivia and Errol Flynn (The Adventure’s of Robin Hood) - deference...

 

Olivia DeHavilland starred with Errol Flynn on more than one occasion - here's another great film of theirs !!
