“Gone with the Wind” star Olivia de Haviland, who also won an Academy Award for her role in another film, died at 104, according to her publicist, Lisa Goldberg.
Goldberg told TheWrap that she died at her home in Paris, France, of natural causes.
The longtime actress, who was born in 1916 in imperial Japan to British parents, played Melanie Hamilton Wilkes in “Gone with the Wind,” who had a conflict with Scarlett O’Hara, played by Vivien Leigh.
She also appeared in films such as “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” and won Oscars for her performances in “To Each His Own” and “The Heiress.”

A classic liberal, i.e. the kind who believe in liberty.
This probably is behind a paywall, but it’s a great article about her and Reagan resisting the commies in Hollywood. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB115757993223555601
RIP great lady of the screen!
So sad to finally see her go. Don’t know if any of the true great age are around now.
Dame Olivia de Haviland was the last living billed actor in Gone With the Wind and the last major actor who was a grown up star in 1930s movies. I support Gone with the Wind remaining to be shown on classic motion picture channels since it is a major part of history. This marks the end of an era.
On the plus side, Rhonda Fleming is still with us, and so is Arlene Dahl.
