Brock Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 A "Miss" No More: Congratulations to the legendary Olivia de Havilland who today, just a couple of weeks shy of 101, has been finally named a Dame by the Queen! She is the oldest woman to ever be named a Dame and, in my opinion, one of the most overdue. "Dame Olivia de Havilland" has a nice ring to it. Even dead, Joan will have to console herself with a single, solitary Oscar. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in time to remake her 60s movie as "Dame in a Cage". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just in time to remake her 60s movie as "Dame in a Cage". Let's not forget her ABC Movie of The Week: "The Screaming Dame" And of course, the retitlted "The Heiress, OBE". I am going to miss calling her "Miss".

Mot Morenzi Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Why so surprised, Ms. Barra? Given that she's one of the few living people depicted in the show, it stands to reason that more things could happen to her after the initial airing. Being titled a Dame is certainly significant, and would've been included had it happened last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 What a life she has led! She made her film debut in 1935 - 84 years ago - in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Her love interest in the film, Ross Alexander, died 82 years ago! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie2 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 The rumor circulating social media was that for her 103rd, Dame O went on a celebratory bike ride, accompanied by a photo that was actually taken ten years ago. Nevertheless, awesome that she was biking at 93 and even more awesome that she's still rocking this world at 103. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
