Olivia, who was best known for her role in “Gone with the Wind,” died peacefully in her sleep while at home in Paris, France on Saturday. She was 104-years-old.
The actress played Melanie Hamilton Wilkes, who squared off with Scarlett O’Hara to gain the affection of Ashley Wilkes, who was played by Leslie Howard. She starred in a number of other movies, including “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” The decorated actress not only won an Academy Award in 1947 for her role in “To Each His Own” but she also snagged one in 1950 for “The Heiress.”
Aside from her successful career, Olivia was also embroiled in a long-standing Hollywood feud with her sister, actress Joan Fontaine. According to TMZ, Olivia was angry over Ryan Murphy’s miniseries, “Feud: Bette and Joan,” because of the way she was portrayed, and sued FX but lost.
She is survived by her daughter, Giséle, who is a journalist in France.
