Olivia de Havilland Fast Facts:
Born in Tokyo to British subjects; moved to California at the age of three.
Won a scholarship to Mills College in Oakland, CA, but never attended due to her budding acting career.
Discovered by famed theatrical producer Max Reinhardt while appearing in a production of
A
Midsummer Night's Dream
.
While under contract to Warner Bros., she starred in nine movies with Errol Flynn.
Tired of being suspended by Warner Bros. for refusing roles in bad movies, she sued the studio in the 1940s and won a landmark ruling regarding actors' contracts; it's still known in law books as "the de Havilland decision."
Was involved in a bitter, well-publicized feud with her sister Joan Fontaine that reportedly began when they were children and escalated after they were both nominated for an Oscar in 1941 (Fontaine won).
