She often inhabited characters who were delicate, elegant, and refined. At the same time, she was a survivor with a fierce desire to direct her own destiny on and off the screen. She won a lawsuit against Warner Bros. over a contract dispute that changed the studio contract system forever, and is also noted for her long feud with her sister, actress Joan Fontaine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictoria Amador utilizes extensive interviews and forty years of personal correspondence with de Havilland to present an in-depth look at the life and career of this celebrated actress, from her theatrical ambitions at a young age to becoming one of the most well-known starlets in Tinseltown. Readers are given an inside look at her love affairs with iconic cinema figures such as James Stewart and John Huston, as well as her onscreen partnership with Errol Flynn. Amador also details how de Havilland became the first woman to serve as the president of the Cannes Film Festival in 1965, and showcases how, even in her later years, she remained active but selective in film and television until 1988. A new chapter covers de Havilland's death at the age of 104 in July 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eOlivia de Havilland\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eLady Triumphant \u003c\/i\u003eis a tribute to one of Hollywood's greatest legends--a lady who evolved from a gentle heroine to a strong-willed, respected, and admired artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Olivia de Havilland: Lady Triumphant | Victoria Amador | Paperback | 9780813154657 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1759867","offer_id":49199016837272,"sku":"1759867","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51ogpInUaWL.jpg?v=1780693456","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/olivia-de-havilland-lady-triumphant","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
