“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.”

It seems like more and more people are dying at a faster clip then ever before.

Just this week alone, we had Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac, the guy who did the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" TV series and the one guy who was in that rock band (not Fleetwood Mac) whose name I can't remember. Then we have Eddie Shack, the famous hockey player (picture below).

It seems like everybody is dying. When will that madness end?

EDDIE SHACK - RIP

While Olivia de Havilland has moved on to a different plane of existence she will live forever on film. May she rest in peace.

Good friend of the Gipper! At a party, Olivia met Reagan, and he was shocked to learn that she was not a Communist. “I thought YOU were a Communist,” she replied.

John Saxon passed yesterday too.

Lots of legends are moving on.

Hope they knew Christ!

Amazing that she outlived Abe Vigoda (aka Tessio from GF, and Fish from BM), who had a website devoted to his health:

Yep, Charlie Daniels / Ravi Zacharias

We are losing many. At a time when we need all the warriors we can muster.

One feels a number of things when people you grew up watching and are apart of your generation pass away.

Yep! I totally forgot about those heroes as well.

And Rush is suffering from cancer.

Good people are leaving at a most crucial hour.
