Dame Olivia de Havilland is 104 today!

Centenarians we love!!!

factoids: born in Tokyo (dad was a professor at Imperial University, today known as University of Tokyo) and sister of actress Joan Fontaine. She attributes her longevity to climbing the stairs in her house every day, doing the London Times crossword every day, and writing every day.

Wow!!!! I knew it was coming up - absolutely amazing. I just watched an older movie with her in it two nights ago! Inspiration!

I was in Paris for Christmas and New Year's of 2007/2008. I went to the Episcopalian (or are they Anglicans in France?) church where she was the lector for mass. She was tiny with a full head of thick, white hair. She was still beautiful.

I think this is terrific! I love her and her movies and I always thought it was so romantic that Jimmy Stewart had once proposed to her.

Such a beautiful and classy actress. She had enough gumption to take on the studio system and win.

More recently, she had a lawsuit going about her portrayal in the mini-series, "Feud: Bette and Joan" (2017) (A fun watch by the way!) She didn't win that one.

This article says she is still riding her bike:

If that is a current photo of Mia, she looks amazing. Gorgeous skin, obviously not a sun worshiper.
