Olivia de Havilland, the last living star from the epic film “Gone with the Wind” and the oldest living actor to have received an Academy Award, has died.
The two-time Academy Award winner died “peacefully from natural causes on July 26 at her residence in Paris, France,” her publicist, Lisa Goldberg told “Good Morning America.”
She was 104 years old.
De Havilland was best known for playing the role of Melanie “Mellie” Hamilton in the Civil War drama — a role that her younger sister Joan Fontaine had reportedly turned down and suggested go to de Havilland instead.
