And IMO, The Heiress, 1949, is one of the best women who was wronged gets movie revenge.

2. GREAT in the Heiress.

Love all of her movies... even camp classic....Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. Just watched it the other night. She is the chilled knife cutting through the scenery chewing.

10. YES!

16. Yes Olivia

She was incredibly good. I highly recommend To Each His Own, the other Oscar winner for her.
Absolutely brilliant! What an amazing lady.

18. Omg

Yes she replaced Joan Crawford at Bette Davis'
request. What another stunning performance!

3. I read that she still lives in the same Paris home

that she has lived in since the 1950’s. She has always been beautiful.

[Jack from Charlotte]

13. Yes. She lives in the 16th Arr. I read.......

Married a French guy in the 50's. They got divorced in 1979. He moved just across the street. They remained good friends his whole life. He died in the 80's, I believe.

Unreal that an actor from Gone With The Wind, is still alive.

Thank you especially for your performance in The Heiress!

5. 'The Heiress' is one of my all time favorite movies.

The first time I watched it, I was blown away by her acting, and loved the film, despite having Miriam Hopkins in the cast. (Her acting style was always way too much over the top, for my taste.)

9. Bless her, I always loved her. A really great actress.

I'm 90 but doubt if I will make 100 . I just want to live long enough to see the Trumper lose, be humiliated and charged with his many crimes.

[Scarsdale]

14. I have that same wish!

She is STILL beautiful. Great actress.

11. Happy birthday to her

She is one classy lady

12. Wonderful performer

We are now living in the snake pit.

[Glorfindel]

15. God bless Dame Oilvia!

She is an example to us all. Here she is as Hermia in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," made in 1935. A truly wonderful movie, also starring Mickey Rooney as Robin Goodfellow.

17. Amazing to think of all she has seen in her lifetime.

I guess I will have to watch The Heiress since I can’t remember if I have seen it.

26. Her sister lived to 96, her mother lived to 89 and her father lived to 96.

Good genes in her family. Her first films were in 1935. I loved her in The Strawberry Blonde with James Cagney.
