OLIVIA de HAVILLAND
Sepia magazine photograph of Olivia de Havilland looking off to the side.
Magazine Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Hal Shell/All good wishes/Olivia
de/Havilland". Sepia, 7x9¾. 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. Fold creases not near
signature. Edges not cut straight. Otherwise, fine condition.
