RIP Olivia de Havilland

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19246]

At a spry 104. She was the last remaining of Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and the studio system.

Gotta give her credit - she vowed to outlast Kirk Douglas and Regis Philbin.

Wow. I had no idea she was still alive. 104. That's impressive. RIP to an American treasure. 

Im going to have to watch The Adventures of Robin Hood again in remembrance. I don't need a reason to watch it again, it's one of my favorite movies, but it's nice to know I have one. She's so great in that film (everyone is). And what a beauty. And her wardrobe is stunning. If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor.

If I had a time machine I'd love to go back 80 years and have a threesome with her and her sister Joan Fontaine.

They were pure smoke in their prime.

I love that movie. Errol Flynn in his prime.

 

Fun fact, did you Trigger was Lady Marian’s horse?

Yep. I've got the 2-disc special edition DVD and it has extensive bonus material. Did you know the sound of the arrows being shot are from actual arrows being shot? They have such a distinctive sound, I always thought it was artificial. But they're specially designed arrows with specific feathers that make that sound. And the guys getting shot with arrows are actually getting shot with arrows from a real archer's bow. The stuntmen got paid extra if they took an arrow.

Damn, knew she was still alive but hadn't been seen in public for years. Agree she was pure smoke in her heyday. RIP
