Still beautiful.
Olivia de Havilland, who played the sweetest character in movie history
so well that no one even hated her for it, died Saturday in Paris. She
was 104.
As the saintly Melanie Wilkes in the 1939 epic “Gone With the Wind,” de

actresses could ever reach. She also cast Melanie’s shadow over her own
career, though she was a world-class old-style movie star in a variety
of roles for more than a decade.
