Olivia de Havilland, the actress beloved to millions as the sainted Melanie Wilkes of Gone With the Wind, died Sunday at her home in Paris. She was 104. De Havilland was among the last of the top screen performers from the studio era, and the last surviving lead from the iconic epic.
During a career that spanned six decades, de Havilland earned two Academy Awards – the first in 1946 for her performance in To Each His Own, and the second in 1950 for The Heiress. In 2008, de Havilland received a National Medal of Arts and was awarded France's Legion of Honor two years later.
