Academy Tribute

I was wondering if it was worth mentioning in the article Olivia's upcoming Academy tribute? [1]. Or maybe we should put it in after the event has occurred? Crisso 21:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The link to "The Light in the Piazza" takes you to the current Broadway musical of that name, not the 1962 film that Ms. DeHavilland appeared in. 4.232.186.240 04:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! She must be 90 about now! I loved her in "Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte". --66.218.12.60 02:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cleanup required

It looks like in the past this page may have suffered sneaky vandalism with a bunch of things being simply wrong in the current text. For example the the law refered to as the De Haviland Law, is usually called the "Olivia de Havilland clause" which limits artists contracts to a maximum of seven years. Other things like Gloria Stuart had a return to fame in the 1990s, not 1980s. Someone who has time and the knowledge please clean up this article. Dowew 20:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard it called the "De Havilland decision" and the "De Havilland law" but I've never heard it referred to as the "De Havilland clause". By the way, the article says Gloria Stuart returned to fame in her 80s, not the 80s. Crisso 09:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the "description" of Gloria Stuart in this paragraph does her a disservice, like she never did anything worthwhile before that. Wouldn't it better to write something along the lines of "star of minor movies in the 30s" etc? Dollvalley 14:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Last surviving star of GWTW

Wouldn't it be even better to add that she has survived the 3 other stars of Gone with the Wind by several decades? The last other star, Vivien Leigh, died more than 30 years ago, with Gable in 1961 and Howard in 1943. It would add an extra something.
