Great to see this! The Snake Pit is one of my favorite films of hers, and her performance was certainly Oscar worthy. I've always been impressed with how they were able to maintain the realism while also having a happy ending- that is, the ending didn't feel forced or out of place. And considering how Olivia's character has been through the wringer, she certainly deserves her happiness at the end.
The fact that she lived long enough to experience her 104th birthday just a few weeks before she died back in 2020, God really blessed her with a long life. Olivia was a Hollywood queen!
Such and elegant and poised woman. All of her performances - even in films that are not great (although I can’t think of one) - are master classes in acting.
Thank you for posting all three interviews from different years of Olivia De Havilland , I will never get tired of her talent, charm, natural classy chic beauty and yes such a cutie. The way she speaks, her mannerisms absolutely are a treasure and enchantment in itself. Adore what she’s wearing here. One of of the reasons I watch both airport films is because she stars in it.
I just found this. Why does it not come up under Olivia deHavilland videos, but nonetheless, it is wonderful and Jim Whally is quite the gentleman. Thank you for posting!
Gone With the Wind: My favorite scene with Oli as Melanie is when Scarlett shows up to Melanie's party, Melanie knows Scarlett is madly in love with her husband, yet she hugs Scarlett with kindness, cloaking her sins for her.
In 1955, she moved to France, where she lived a much slower paced life, focused on her marriage, raising her children, and largely retired from the industry. Once she moved overseas, she was selective about the projects she undertook after her court case.
She was so charming, but I don't believe alot of the sentiments she has, especially about her role in Airport 77. She was another of thise golden era stars who were so trained in PR that they often seemed phoney and not genuine in interviews.
I agreed. I think she was being very gracious. I love Airport 77 but her role wasn’t as interesting as Jennifer Jones in Inferno or Shelley Winters in Poseidon
Such a classy lady, an international treasure.

I always love the way she spoke SO eloquently like this in interviews. Makes me hang onto every. WORD. she says!
How great that she talked about giving your subconscious time to work things out. This is hugely important for all creatives.

What a nice interview
Fantastic insights about Olivia de Havilland, her acting techniques, her films, showing her personality and unique elegance ✨✨✨
Olivia de Havilland's performance in The Heiress 1949 was outstanding. Surprised it was never discussed in this interview.
Absolutely superb film and probably her greatest performance!
Quite a catch!
Great interviewer and a great lady
Lovely, thank you very much.
Always amazing Olivia.

Pretty Olivia ❤
Very elegant lady!, ❤❤
How the heck did she look so amazing at 61???
We have very good inherited skin from the De Haviland side.
In 1955, she moved to France, where she lived a much slower paced life, focused on her marriage, raising her children, and largely retired from the industry. Once she moved overseas, she was selective about the projects she undertook after her court case.
She lived to 99 and still looked gorgeous
She lived to 104. Her sister Joan Fontaine lived to 96@@shirleyfrost9909
@@shirleyfrost9909she was 104 when she died in 2020
She’s lovely
Olivia de Havilland has more class and elegance in her pinky finger then any celebrity living today with the exception of Meryl Streep
Classy lady. "Right now, gentleman, the name of the game is poker. 5 card stud with a $10 ante, no aces and nothings wild. Any objections, boys?"
Class act. Not from nobility, but from the English landed gentry.
Who is Olivia Whaley?
Its actually the last name of the interviewer
Crawford was asked to be in it but unfortunately she was way too ill
She was so charming, but I don't believe alot of the sentiments she has, especially about her role in Airport 77. She was another of thise golden era stars who were so trained in PR that they often seemed phoney and not genuine in interviews.
Oh , she was genuine , believe me. She was British so her manner of speaking is different but lovely !!
