Olivia Style

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love watching films from the golden age of Hollywood and enjoying all those adorable actresses and their classy clothing. There are so many beautiful publicity stills online that I hope to showcase an actress here every once in a while, for a bit of old-time refreshment and inspiration. I had originally named this series "A Moment With ____" and added the actress' name and an inspirational quote. Well, I'm leaving off the quote business, because they are too hard to find! And even when I find one that sounds "inspirational", the worldview is usually kind of messed up. lol. :P

So, we must content ourselves with pictures and simply call it "____ Style". ;)

Here we've got one of my favorite stars of the thirties, Olivia de Havilland. Brought to fame as Errol Flynn's leading lady (he was a favorite of ours growing up and Olivia as Maid Marian stole our hearts ;) she won two Oscars over her extensive career and is well recognized as Melanie in Gone With The Wind. For me, I love her tiny stature, winning smile and infectious laugh. Feminine and chic to the core. :)

List your old favorites - and who would you like to see next?
