Olivia de Havilland passes at 104, the last major star of Hollywood's Golden Era. A double Best Actress Oscar winner and sister of actress Joan Fontaine, she won a landmark decision over Warner Brothers that broke the studio contract system and transformed the industry. Her many pairings with Errol Flynn yielded some of the best adventure films ever including The Adventures of Robin Hood and They Died With Their Boots On. The best film I ever saw of hers was The Snake Pit. What a performance! What a life!
