Olivia De Havilland
and Montgomery Cliff
in "The Heiress" (1949)
She was grace. She was
kindness. She was beautiful, and she was definitely
not a wimp! Because of her ingenious, a whole "school
of lesser gentlewoman grew up in her wake". She
was a down to earth girl who rarely portrayed upper
class dames. Yet when she did, she played them extremely
well; "Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938). Olivia
preferred to cast herself in the roles of the middle
class nobility. Films, like "Hold Back Dawn"
(1941), "To Each His Own" (her first Oscar,
1946), "The Heiress" (1949), and "Gone
With The Wind" (1939), capture the true essence
of her self-effacing gifts.
Olivia's a role model
for all future generations of women, not just in the
acting business, but also in life itself. Now how many
people do you know can say that about someone? (CD)
