    She is very awesome. hide show

    If you want to see Olivia de Havilland's acting talents, watch the movie "Gone With the Wind", based off the novel by Margaret Mitchell. She is BEAUTIFUL! I felt really sad when I saw "Gone With the Wind" and Melanie Hamilton Wilkes died. Why did it have to her role though? I'm also really thankful that she lives today to see that even today, she is a legend in the world of acting. Hopefully, she will be around for an even longer time. She is wonderful. I don't think ANYONE in any way, shape, or form could have replaced her role in that movie. She is awesome, and that's how it will always be.
