One of the greatest of them all, Olivia turns 97 years old today!
In my opinion Olivia has only 2 to equal her abilities as an actress, Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck!

"Gold is Where You Find It"
"The Adventures of Robin Hood"

"They Died with Their Boots On"
"The Male Animal"
"To Each His Own"
"The Dark Mirror"

An interesting thing about Olivia is that, to the best of my knowledge, she appeared in more technicolor films in the 1930's than anyone else! (five in all) Needless to say there are few cinematic sights more lovely than Olivia de Havilland in blazing technicolor!
