Damn...

P.S. - its showing I edited the title to correct the spelling of her surname (?)

Goddess.

I feel saddened by this news as she was the last of the big, early movie stars left alive and one of my personal favorites.

I had made two birthday threads:

I have one of her westerns with Errol Flynn that I've been saving to rewatch, They Died With Their Boots On (1941), think I'll watch that tonight in her honor.

:( RIP

Olivia was my #9 favorite actress on my Citizen's Top 62, 1930s Actors & Actresses
I said this about her:

Olivia de Havilland, 104.

If you haven't seen The Snake Pit., please watch it.

Incredibly great actress. I don't care much about her endeavors outside of that, unfortunately.

Ahhhh, loved her in Robin Hood

RIP

Kirk Douglas and now her... The end of an era!

Are you referring to her speaking engagements, or...?

Her involvement in promoting anti-Communist fearmongering that led to the blacklist in Hollywood and helping move Reagan's politcal career forward.

Hey, I hear they're protesting in Portland doing all sorts of mischief, maybe you can go there and tell them your social views, because 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn':p

The other person asked me to explain, so I did :shrug:

Don't play innocent, you took a political slam on your first post...There was no need for you to spout off your political opinions on a tribute thread dedicated to someone who's just passed. Save it for Twitter.

I thought it had a lot to do with her being a diva and turning down too many parts. But I suppose it’s a bit of both.

All I said was I didn't care for her actions outside of acting.

If Roman Polanski died tomorrow I'm sure there would be many posts saying similar things (and I'd be one of them).

Totally two different things. Polanski is a criminal fugitive and convicted child rapist. So that's a weak argument.

Olivia supported anti communism at a time when communist agents were a real threat to world security. The Soviets had stolen U.S. atomic plans, which lead to them developing the atom bomb. Not to mention they enslaved countries like Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary, East Germany and others. Those people could not choose to have democracy but had communism forced on them, is that what you're so upset about that the communist didn't get to overtake the world?

I don't think I'm the one who's upset here.
