OK, would not have expected, when I was a kid, to be writing this in 2020, but the last of the main stars of “Gone With The Wind,” Olivia de Haviland, has died. Personally, I always preferred “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” where she played Maid Marian, but to each their own pic.twitter.com/cK9bGq5nlS
