Happy 100th Birthday, Olivia de Havilland!!

Gone With the Wind" actress Olivia de Havilland turns 100 on Friday, the day TCM starts celebrating her as its star of the month for July.

She won best-actress Oscars for "To Each His Own" (1946) and "The Heiress" (1949). She co-starred with Errol Flynn in "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938). She is the sister of Oscar winner Joan Fontaine, who died at age 96 in 2013.

Beyond the film credits, de Havilland is one of the most important figures in Hollywood history. She took on the studio system in the 1940s and won.

She sued Warner Bros., her employer, for extending her seven-year contract by tacking on extensions for times she had been suspended, thereby blocking her from working for other studios. By triumphing in court, de Havilland saved other performers from similar frustration. The "De Havilland Law," as the court ruling came to be known, limited studio power and gave actors greater freedom.
