It is well known that Olivia and Joan feuded often during their working years. Their feud came to a head when they were both nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress in 1941. Joan ended up winning the award for her role in Suspicion.

Several years ago, when Olivia was 101, she was honored with the title of “Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire” by Queen Elizabeth II. She was the oldest person to receive this honor. Check out this tribute to Olivia de Havilland in Gone with the Wind:
