Happy 99th Birthday to Olivia De Havilland

Olivia De Havilland just celebrated her 99th birthday. The actress is now not only the last surviving cast member of 1939's "Gone With the Wind" and the oldest living Oscar winner, but she's also the last surviving cast member of "Not as a Stranger," the 1955 Stanley Kramer film she costarred in with ROBERT MITCHUM. In it, she played a Swedish nurse who falls for medical student Mitchum, who views her just as a meal ticket while he romances Gloria Grahame. It's not a great film but what a cast: Frank Sinatra, Lee Marvin, Broderick Crawford and Harry Morgan.

Grahame died in 1981, Crawford in 1986, Marvin in 1987, Mitchum in 1997, Sinatra in 1998, and Morgan died in 2011.
