A tribute to the late great Dame Olivia de Havilland and the fantastic generation of stars she represented. Olivia de Havilland recently passed away and her role as Melanie in Gone With The Wind is one of her most fondly remembered which she starred in alongside Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable and Leslie Howard. It is also the film for which an African American actor first won an Oscar. This honour was awarded to Hattie McDaniel who received her award along with countless other artists and production workers. Gone With The Wind is a powerful and beautiful classic. A story of survival in the aftermath of the US Civil War. It is equally famous for its complex and expensive production process that made it all possible. Adjusted for inflation it is regarded as the highest box office earner in history. We are equally excited to be celebrating our tenth episode of this show. Time flies when you’re having fun.
