Just the news from foreign media, Hollywood's golden age actress, Olivia de Havilland," died at the age of 104, which is a high lifespan.
She was born on July 1, 1916, and at the beginning of this month, on this day, everyone sent her birthday wishes.
Born in the early 20th century, Havilland is already a man of the last century. But in her life, she really did "although her sister is not in the jianghu, there are stories of her riding the wind and waves everywhere in the jianghu".
Her most memorable role for the Chinese people is to play Hao Sijia's love enemy, Melanie, in the movie "Gone with the Wind".
Gone with the Wind (1939)
She holds two Academy Awards for Best Actress, two Golden Globes, and a Venice Film Festival for Best Actress. These awards are enough to prove that she is one of the greatest immortal actresses in the history of film.
The 2017 9.0 high-scoring American drama "Nemesis", based on the story of two major (past) actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Betty Davis (Susan Sarandon) and Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange), fell in love and killed each other, and released a series of plots and fights.
Among them, catherine zeta-jones made a cameo appearance, based on de Havilland.
To this end, Havilland also sent a lawyer's letter, fx and the director of the "Old Enemy" series Ryan Murphy to court.
"Havilland didn't say anything about The Old Enemy at all, and that completely damaged her reputation," the complaint said. It also caused a lot of unnecessary trouble for Joan Crawford (who died in 1977) and Betty Davis (who died in 1989) and the parties involved in the series and their descendants."
Havilland said that no one consulted her beforehand on the film side of "Old Enemy", and she also pointed out that the interview scene at the beginning of "Old Enemy" was completely untrue, there was no such thing, and she did not say bad things about Joan Crawford and Betty Davis, fx was deliberately designed to be like a real thing for the sake of publicity and hype.
Havilland points out that "Old Enemies" mistakenly portrays her relationship with her sister Joan Fonden.
For example, in the fifth episode, Olivia de Havelan, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, publicly scolded her sister Joan Fontaine as a "bitch sister" at the Oscars, which seriously damaged Joan Fontaine's own reputation.
But in fact, the war between Havilland and her sister Joan Fontaine has long been the subject of the cover of gossip magazines in the last century.
Born 15 months apart in age between Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine (Joan Fontaine was born in 1917 and died on December 15, 2013), both actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood were huge successes.
Although they were born into the same family, the sisters did not come together, but instead intensified the competitive relationship that had emerged from childhood and lasted for a lifetime.
Harveyland and Joan didn't get along well as children.
Joan felt that Harveyland was more favored by her mother.
And Harveyland once said, "Our biggest problem is that we have to share a room."
In 1934, Havilland and Joan
Although they occasionally played together, clashes were more frequent, with the two often slapping each other and pulling their hair.
Joan also accused Javiran of tearing up her old clothes because she didn't want to give them to her sister; she even accused her of breaking Joan Fontaine's collarbone when she tried to pull her sister into the pool.
In 1942, life magazine reported that the relationship between the two fell into a low ebb.
"When she was 9 years old, Joan decided to kill her sister. She had thought about everything carefully: she would let Havilland hit her once, and then silently again. But after the third blow, she would stick her eyes straight into Haviland's eyes."
Joan's plan was to defend herself, but fortunately, as they both joined Hollywood, and as they grew older, the feud between the two sisters was no longer a physical conflict.
This is a live-action version of "Old Enemy", I don't know if you know the story behind the scenes when you watch this drama.
Later, when Harveyland played Melanie in Gone with the Wind (1939), her career reached new heights, and Joan Fonten starred in Hitchcock's Butterfly Dream (1940).
Butterfly Dreams (rebecca, 1940)
In fact, these two films seem to hide the "dark war" of these two sisters.
Joan Fontaine had the opportunity to star in Gone with the Wind, but the filmmakers rejected her for being "too fashionable" and Warner rejected her;
And when Havilland couldn't star in Butterfly Dream because of Warner's contract, she agreed that her sister Joan was a good fit for the role.
At the 1942 Academy Awards ceremony, the "tearing" between the sisters was unabashedly and naked in front of the world.
Both Harveyland and Joan Fontaine were nominated for Best Actress. Harveyland was shortlisted for "Hold Back the Dawn" and Joan was shortlisted for Hitchcock's "Suspicion."
In the end, Joan Fontaine won the Oscar for Best Actress. When receiving the award, Joan Fontaine did not say a word of thanks to her sister.
Joan Fonden eventually won the Oscar for Best Actress for "Deep Doubts."
By Oscar night in 1947, Havilland had won the Academy Award for Best Actress for "To each His Own," and the world thought she had finally won her sister once.
Harveyland has lived in a state of combat all her life, and her most famous deed is to objectively end the old studio system of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
She signed a seven-year contract with Warner Bros. that year, which meant that she had to be subject to the studios for seven years, following their arrangements and playing the roles they assigned.
But she didn't.
She declined the role Warner assigned during her contract and was suspended several times.
In the end, she made an unprecedented move: to sue Warner.
The judge upheld her claim, saying the system was a "peony system".
In the end, Havilland won the case. She countered that the duration of the contract was 7 years, not the time of actual work.
The High Court agreed with her, agreeing that the contract was a form of "slavery".
On March 15, 1944, Variety reported on the lawsuit under the headline "Harveyland, Liberation Agent."
After that, she was finally no longer subject to the system of star bundling studios, and her career was booming.
After this lawsuit, the actors were no longer subject to the studio, which gave the stars and agents the right to negotiate future films.
She was later recorded in film history as a "rule-breaker".
There are very few stars left in Hollywood's golden age.
In the 1960s, Javiran moved to Paris, where she loved the city and wrote an autobiography about it called Paris, which every Frenchman owns.
Far from the controversy, she has rarely appeared in Hollywood films since then.
Last year, she was also amazed by everyone for being photographed cycling around the city of Paris, after all, she is 103 years old.
In 1965, she became the first woman to chair the jury at the Festival de Cannes.
She once confided in the media that at first she was scared, but "as the only woman on the jury that year, I really enjoyed chairing a committee made entirely of men."

In November 2008, Bush presented de Havilland with the National Medal of Merit, then 92, and the words of commendation read:
"Her independence, integrity and elegance have earned her creative freedom for herself and her film cast partners."
In 2010, she was appointed Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
In June 2017, she became the oldest woman in history, earning the title of "Lady of England", awarded by the Queen herself.
She lived in Paris for 60 years.
She made occasional public appearances, traveling to Los Angeles in 2006 for the Oscars' 90th birthday celebrations and occasional interviews centered around her 100th birthday.
People have not forgotten her, the lady who has fought for her rights all her life.
