The actress played Melanie Hamilton Wilkes, who squared off with Scarlett O'Hara to gain the affection of Ashley Wilkes, played byThe 1939 movie became one of the icons in cinema ... played and replayed every year in movie theaters across the country.
She also was important in putting an end to the archaic studio system in Hollywood. When she was under a long-term contract with Warner Bros., she put her foot down, refusing certain roles, which got her benched more than once. She ended up suing Warner Bros., saying the studio system amounted to"peonage," and the judge agreed and freed her from her remaining obligations under her contract.
The legal fight changed the balance of power in Hollywood, and actors were able to negotiate better contracts as a result. Olivia has lived in Paris since 1960 and rarely attended public functions. There was a splashy party in Hollywood for her 90th birthday -- thrown by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences -- and she showed up.
