My First Love


robin6_1.jpg


So silly I suppose to weep over the parting of someone I never knew. When I was a kid, I loved to watch movies so much more than cartoons or such. I fell in love with someone whom I realized much later in life was whom I also wanted to be.Today that dream came to mind once again. While little 'girls'like me might have desired the leading man, my heart was and always will be tied inexorably to my first love


Olivia de Havilland
July 1,1916 - July 26, 2020

I can see why

I can see why you would've wanted to be her, she was lovely.


Have delightfully devious day,

Oh, I ran across her name this week

I saw she was the second oldest movie star at 104, Goddess bless her. I read her Wikipedia article and it was very long. It said a lot of nice things. Her sister got into her 90s before she passed too.

Absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful!

I suppose the one I most wanted to be was Stephanie Powers.

Dame Olivia de Havilland

Dame Olivia de Havilland and her sister Joan Fontaine went to the same high school I graduated from (Los Gatos High School), though I was 32 years later. I met her mother, Lilian Fontaine back in the 1950's when she directed a little theater production my father played a small part in. Dame Olivia was never more beautiful than when she played Maid Marion to Errol Flynn's Robin Hood in the Hollywood fantasy you pictured above.
