OLIVIA de HAVILLAND
Olivia de Havilland inscribes her signature to a fan on an album leaf in blue ink.
Inscribed signature: "To John/Olivia de Havilland", 6x5¼ album leaf. 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. Jagged at left edge from removal from bound book. Lightly toned.
Encapsulated. Otherwise, fine condition.
