"This is classic Hollywood history as told through the life and career of onne of its most iconic actresses. Author Ellis Amburn knew many of the key figures in Olivia de Havilland's life and career, a veritable patheon of Hollywood royalty from the 30s, 40s, and 50 including Jimmy Stewart, George Cukor, and David O. Selznic. Superbly research and full of delicius anecdotes about Clark Gable, John Huston, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Montgomery Clift, Errol Flynn, David Niven, and Bette Davis--particularly the bloody, bone-crunching fistfight Flynn and Huston waged over Olivia--this book not only profiles one of the finest actresses of her time, but also the culture of the film industry's Golden Age."--Back cover
