Olivia de Havilland is one of the last remaining icons from Hollywood's golden age.
Olivia de Havilland, who played Melanie Wilkes in the beloved film "Gone With the Wind," is turning 104 today.
Acting alongside Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, Olivia is the last surviving principal cast member of the classic movie.
HBO pulled the film from its new streaming service in June in the wake of national protests against racism and deaths of African Americans at the hands of police. At the time, HBO said it needed to add "historical context."
Although it's considered by many as a classic, the film's portrayal of slavery, African Americans and the Civil War South has been received much more critically in the decades since its release.

I think HBO should replace Gone with the wind with the classic movie Zulu.
ReplyDeleteWhy ??
DeletePresident Trump said we will never bow down. Well apparently HBO will...
ReplyDelete7:42 PM By ‘we’ President Trump does not include Hollywood. When have they ever been on the same side?
ReplyDeleteWhat ‘side’ is that? The white supremacy side? The country is changing. The majority want a country that doesn’t glorify racism or slavery and is welcoming to everyone. If you don’t like it, move to Poland or some other country devoid of non white people.

ReplyDeleteI bought a copy of GWTW when they pulled the HBO, which I don't subscribe to, figuring they would make alterations before it shows again.
Zulu is also an interesting flick; also might not make the PC cut today.
