The article mentions something I hadn't realized. Her sister, Olivia de Havilland (97), is still alive and living in Paris. A former co-worker of mine was obsessed with OdH. I watched several OdH (and JF) movies at his place.

RIP, Joan

They were an amazing pair. Rest in peace, Ms. Fontaine.

I imagine that Joaquin and Rivver Phoenix would have been like that someday -- each famous in his own right but also remembered as a powerhouse sibling.

If Olivia dies in the next few days, we'll know she was just holding out.

Now they're really going to have to edit that TCM tribute.

Ironically Olivia the only major character to die in Gone withthe Wind is the only one still alive
