EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Olivia de Havilland, an iconic American actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. Known for her sweetly beautiful romantic roles, de Havilland rose to fame with her stage debut as Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1935, followed by her film debut in the same role a year later. Warner Bros. recognized her talent and signed her to a seven-year contract, leading to memorable performances opposite heartthrob Errol Flynn in films like Captain Blood (1935), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939). De Havilland's exceptional acting skills earned her two Best Actress Academy Awards for To Each His Own (1946) and The Heiress (1949). She also received three additional nominations throughout her career, including one for her unforgettable portrayal as Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind (1939). Interestingly, she shared not only remarkable talent but also familial ties with fellow actress Joan Fontaine. In this monochrome portrait captured by an unknown creator, Olivia de Havilland exudes elegance and grace that transcends time. Her contribution to American cinema remains unparalleled even today. This print serves as a reminder of a golden era in Hollywood when talented women like de Havilland left an indelible mark on both the silver screen and our hearts.
