B/w, 8x10. Olivia de Havilland (1916-2020), the sister of actress Joan Fontaine, received
critical acclaim and Best Actress Academy Awards for her roles in To Each His Own (1946)
and The Heiress (1949). She was also nominated for an Oscar for Gone With the Wind
(1939), of which she is the last surviving star, Hold Back the Dawn (1941) and The Snake
Pit (1948). In addition to her acting on the stage and screen, de Havilland is known for
fighting the studio system. The actress sued Warner Bros. for extending her seven-year
contract by tacking on several months for which she had been suspended for refusing to take a
part. Although de Havilland spent three years off the screen, she ultimately won her case, and
the "De Havilland Law", as it came to be called, ensured that studios were no longer able to
engage in the practice of extending contract time. Adequate contrast. Fine condition.
