The Olivia de Havilland Centenary Blogathon Day 1!

Olivia de Havilland's 100th birthday has finally arrived and I am excited to be celebrating this monumental day with my co-host Crystal of In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood.

I am looking forward to all of the excellent entries that have been written to celebrate the birth of this beautiful lady who has done so much. In Robert Osborne's essay to celebrate the birthday of his friend Olivia, he wrote, "It is her birthday but we're the ones who get the presents." How true that statement is. Not only has it given all of  us an opportunity to write about such a prolific and beloved actress, but we also get to enjoy many of her films showing on TCM throughout the entire month of July. You can view her page on the TCM website here to see the full lineup.

And now, what you've all been waiting for. The posts (updated throughout the day):
