- Today, we say goodbye to one of the last leading ladies of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Olivia de Havilland not only leaves behind a versatile body of work but was a champion for labor rights. We are grateful for her on-screen performances and for being a trailblazer off-screen.

I wrote her a fan letter back in 1993 and after 9 months received a wonderful typed note from her along with a photo of herself as Melanie in GWTW and signed! (I found her address in a Who's Who book from the library. It was a PO Box in Paris.)
I was so thrilled with her note and photo and must have showed it to a hundred people! I wrote to thank her and yes...she wrote me again for my nice thank you note.
I have these items beautifully framed and have treasured them and will continue to treasure them as long as I live!
That's amazing!!
About Gone with the Wind, she said that one day; she would join her friends again and anytime we watched the film , they will be immortalized forever; always young , always together for us till the end of time.
She and Kirk Douglas made it over a 100!! Their legacies will live on and they can finally rest easy. RIP to both of them.
Yes, and here's hoping Betty White does the same.
And Luise Rainer, Janice Page and Glynis Johns (who was 100 last week)
One of the greats and a blessed long life. How ironic, in Gone with the Wind, she was the only one of the four main characters to die, but in real life, she outlived the other three by at least half a century.
Wow, 104! That's quite a life! Does anyone know how she was doing the last few years? She will be remembered for a long time.
Well, she was lucid enough to sue FX and Ryan Murphy for how she was portrayed in FEUD a couple years ago. Not that I agreed with her on that aspect.
1916-2020, that's amazing!
Such a great lady and terrific actress.
Opening with her last scene with Errol after 8 films together truly memorable. His perfect line for the scene and their pairing, and for us enjoying her great career. But... the one and only Maid Marian then, now, and forever!
😢 the last one gone and with her, an era gone forever 😞
I am a man I was born in 1976 I saw Olivie de Havilland for the first time in the movie Captain Blood from 1935. Her appearance in the film was not only the appearance of an excellent actress but also an amazing beautiful girl when she was 19 years old she was young and beautiful actually hypnotized me You can it was possible to fall in love with her without memory at first sight. This film, due to her amazing beauty, not only spiritual, but also beauty, was deep in the mine mind. As soon as the news of her death appeared, I immediately remembered her actor creation in this film. Olivio died for the world I can only write rest in peace for me and for many other fans who love your by film creations you will live forever and you will always remain in our memory Robert from Poland
I just watched Captain Blood the other day for the first time and fell in love with her.
@@ed241 Me too !!!
Goodbye de Havilland, you absolute queen.
I hope the clip of her walking up the stairs in the last scene of The Heiress (1949) will be in the TCM Remembers montage at the end of this year. Rest in Peace Olivia de Havilland. We were graced with your presence.
outinsider, I so agree! The Heiress was my favorite movie that de Havilland starred in. Her performance from beginning to end was outstanding and the music was pure magic. Cliff, Richardson, and Hopkins were all great as well. The costumes and set design were perfect. An all around really good movie!
@@margaretjones4682 I think it is my favorite performance of hers too. Her and Joan Fontaine really captured awkwardness well.
@@outinsider, we are kindred spirits! I loved them both. Jane Eyre is my favorite Fontaine performance. However, I could go on and on about both. What I need is a retrospective marathon of their films. :)
@@margaretjones4682 Rebecca is my favorite Joan Fontaine film. I always tell people "Unlike their mother, I love Olivia and Joan equally."
@@outinsider, OMG, I loved Rebecca as well, but more for Olivier's performance. I think I was in love with him. LOL! He was another that could breath life into a sully character. There is nothing like the classics.
She was one of the greatest actresses ever.
R.I.P. Madame Havilland
The End of Classic Hollywood......I so wish I could have been there.....goodbye Olivia......and goodbye to the greatest stars we will ever see.
Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier are still around.
The last major movie star along with Kirk Douglas to star in Pictures in the 1940s. There are some celebrities from the Golden Age still around, but none who are as big as they were. RIP
R.I.P. Maid Mariam 🙏🏻❣
Maid Marian was so pretty
God bless you Olivia . Rest in Peace.
Loved this lady! What tenacity and a great gift for life! RIP, dear Olivia!
She was pure class and elegance! Her spotlight will keep on shining bright from above...Rest In Peace Olivia! We will never see or experience professionalism, talent and natural beauty such as hers with a beautiful soul to match!
Rip beautiful lady, rip stands for replacement isn't possible never with u Mrs Olivia.😢😢😘😘❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢❤😘
Farewell, Ms. DeHavilland, you are now Gone With the Wind as well. Olivia De Havilland was a fine actress who help turn the history of Hollywood for actors and actresses today going against the studio system. Many great films include A Midsummer Night's Dream, Captain Blood, Anthony Adverse, Charge of the Light Brigade, Adventures of Robin Hood, Dodge City, To Each His Own, The Snake Pit and the Heiress. A true star of cinema has left us.
I read an article long ago that mentioned movie goers were upset that Olivia was not in "The Sea Hawk" opposite Errol. They had the screen chemistry that is so rare.
🕊🙏🏾❤ One of the last surviving stars in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Such a beautiful, classy lady. She lived a full life. Rest In Peace, Olivia. Thank you, TCM for making a wonderful tribute 🕊🙏🏾❤
I've long held the view that GWTW was, in fact, the story of the friendship between Melanie and Scarlett: when Melanie dies, the movie's over!
God bless you Miss dH! I know Errol's by your side and Bob Osborne is introducing you around☺️
Very wonderful tribute. She is most likely the last of the Golden Age and surely one of the best. The clip with Errol and Olivia from "They Died With Their Boots On" is nearly a perfect scene.
We still have Margaret O’Brien alive. I’m sure there’s others but the list is definitely shrunk considerably.
@@maryannlockwood7806 An oversight on my part. Margaret O'Brien played those wonderful characters that were young and captivating. I suppose I remember this most regarding her. As you noted the list is shrinking. My appreciation to TCM. We can continue enjoying what many brought to the screen.
You still have Sidney Poitier as well as Angela Lansbury
@@directorclarkmonroe That is another actor from the later part of that era. He too is getting up in years. I saw "The Defiant Ones with Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis last week. I enjoy watching movies such as these that are presented well and the actors seem authentic. I realize there are good actors today but I suppose I feel more comfortable watching the movies that kind of led the way.
Yup, the last golden age.
Not much left of Old Hollywood that had a lot more class than the "rif-raff" Hollywood of today...many of Hollywood's finest back then went to War and many went to entertain going to dangerous areas...Olivia de Havilland was a terrific actress...I always enjoyed her....her pairing with Errol Flynn was great - Robin Hood, Charge Of The Light Brigade, Capt. Blood, and many more...thanks for all of the great films.
She was the last breath of cinema. Rest in eternal peace, Olivia de Havilland.
Well, we knew this day would come.
We'll always have her films.
She and Kirk Douglas outlived EVERYBODY from the golden era! Actors, producers you name it! She should’ve told Errol Flynn: “ you see, I will live 60 more years after you die. Which is 10 years more than your entire lifetime.”
She was an amazing actress! She will always be that gentle, kind, warm, loving Melanie from GWTW! She made many movies, and if it were not for TCM, I would not have been able to see most of them. She lit up the screen! Thank you TCM
I always smile when i think of her , I watch TCM way to much she really was one of the greatest God bless you Olivia de Havilland . To bad they don't make movies like they used to !
Wonderful memories. I'm saddened that they didn't include a clip from The Heiress, her best performance. However, I love the clip of her and Hattie McDaniel walking side by side and conversing like the equals that they were.
Nobody does it like TCM Remembers.
... Stunningly beautiful creature .. Her scenes with Errol Flynn are priceless ...
So sad that Olivia is gone. Amazing that she lived a long life.
The Great Errol Flynn says the line in this clip. They were the best movie couple of them all.
WILL NEVER FORGET HER AND ERROL FLYNN WHAT LEGENDS!
i just saw the heiress with this great actress goodbye dear olivia
Among the greatest actresses of all time. Love!
One of a kind. A beautiful woman and a great actress. Rest in peace, you WILL be remembered!!!
I feel as though I'm sitting alone in a movie theater as the credit roll ends and the lights come up.
Olivia de Havilland was always a star, from the time when that word really meant something. All we have now are "celebs".
A classic beauty and a wonderful lady who blessed us all with her God given gifts and talents. She will live in my heart forever. So grateful I got to spend quality time with my grandparents as a kid in the 80s. They and my parents passed on to me a love for that wonderful era...
Beautiful, classy lady. RIP
Rest in peace Ms. Olivia.
What a queen. May she RIP.
I know this is for Olivia but since i dont know how to get TCM attention, which i hope this does and since we are all movie lovers here. We know of the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman yesterday i implore TCM to do a tribute video for him his talents deserve that respect. I hope some would agree with me and that TCM sees this and it happens for him.
One of the greatest actresses of all time who did some of the best films of all time
Such Hollywood legends . Just going away . We should value such cinema
One of my favorites, such a long life!
God bless! She lived a very long and interesting life!
She was a real star class with talent. A great long life may she rest in peace.
Olivia deHavilland, has left behind a great number of memorable films. Many you can view on Turner Classic Movies.
I hope she had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
😢❤
Good one. The music complements the video. I watched the Heiress last night.
The Heiress--one of the most emotionally devastating movies I've ever seen.
This masterpiece of a film has one of of my favorite lines , one that I have at times quoted-
When Catherine’s aunt asks her if she can be so cruel, Catherine coldly respond: ,"Yes, I can be very cruel. I have been taught by masters."
104 years old - unbelievable! She was the last link to that golden age. I loved that she was still alive, up until a few days ago. It doesn't get any better, but it still makes me sad somehow.
Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier are still around.
@@directorclarkmonroe sadly Sidney Poitier died in 2022 to kick off this year :( Angela is still with us though.
She was a one of a kind lady and beautiful class act that will be missed greatly.
She is my all time favorite actress!
Beauty ,grace,class. The end of a golden age
Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier are still around.
Happy Happy 105th Birthday Dear Lady! There was no one like you! What a wonderful actress you were! Thank you for all those films you left behind.
The Snake Pit is my favorite. BTW Catherine Zeta Jones IMO was miscast as her in Feud:Bette and Joan
I love that movie, it may be my favorite of hers.
Love her movies,RIP.🙏
What a lovely lady! Greetings from Northern Ireland
She was probably the last of the stars from the golden age of Hollywood to pass.
I wish she knew how much we love her.
Rest in Peace Olivia de Havilland. Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?" (John 11: 25, 26)
Oh he said that? Do you have the audio?
@@direfranchement you are being nasty. No recording audio but we have God's written word
great video, loved her in robin hood, and many other films
Amazing actress. 🌹🌹
Love you Olivia..🤗💞😇.....
Still a beautiful woman in the 60s "Light in the Piazza' playing a nother and wore a swimsuit in one scene. Truly a lady and Hollywood is grateful she fought and won the contract situation for stars. Miss her
I guess Olivia's patching things up with little sis Joan at the Pearly Gates right about now.
R.I.P.
Olivia, Joan, Bette 💜
RIP Olivia De Havilland
Love her! May she rest in peace 🙏
She was a truly great actress but it's a shame she had such hard feeling towards her younger sister Joan Fontaine who also was beautiful and great actress also.
I love her work in films, (such a lovely Maid Marian), but I love her more for her activism work.
A beautiful woman. Inside and out.
She and Kirk Douglas were the last from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
from maid Marian in the adventures of robin hood to Virginia Cunningham in the snake pit .that's quite a range. you will always be remembered Olivia. rest in peace good night god bless you my dear. from Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it.
When you have no stress, all the resources you will ever need at your fingertips you’ll will live a very long and happy life. Poor people die with the quickness
Hasta siempre❤
They must've had this in their vaults for a few years.
Good by Miss Olivia you always be our Melanie go and bright like the star you were.
هذه الممثلة انا اعتبرها مدرسة السينما في العالم كله بلامنازع
A treasure!
Great balls of fire! How can you do one of these without "The Heiress"?
really? 1 minute and 11 seconds, half of which were an ad for TCM. She's beautiful. you did her no honor at all.
00:40 Love that era!
The last of the stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Earlier this year we lost Diana Serra Carey "Baby Peggy", last of the living stars from silent movies as well.
Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier are still around.
Gone
What a beautiful and elegant lady. Now try to compare her with Kardashians or other celebrities like them
Hello! Could anyone tell me what films were used in this tribute?
Nothing from The Heiress??
❤❤❤❤💘💘💘💘
Long long ago
Prime Cut tail in its day
She was good in the movie Hush Hush Sweet Charolette
Did NOT like her part in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte playing a bitch. Even Bette Davis was nice in that as the victim Charlotte. They were friends in life but Bette played bitches better in movies. They are wonderful as sisters in "in this our life". Bette played the bitch in that. Hattie McDaniels in it and her character's son was studying to I believe be a doctor. Rare for a role in 40s movie. Bette's character tried to frame him for her car accident unsuccessfully. A good movie with both actresses.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💞💞
so sad
0:27 she looks like Bree Larson
What’s with this grant fixation?
She was not perfect and she and sister not always on the best terms but who is perfect? I believe she was an active Christian in a church in Paris. sad she never got the lifetime Kennedy Center award but Bush did give her the Medal of Freedom.
I really, really hate 2020
