‘Gone with the Wind’ star Olivia de Havilland is 102-years-old: She’s still stunning as ever

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for, say, the last 80 years or so, you’ll have heard of the movie ‘Gone with the Wind‘. 

And it’s a pretty safe bet that if you remember that classic, you’ll remember the absolute beauty that was Melanie, played by Olivia de Havilland.

Melanie may be a fictional bombshell, but Olivia de Havilland is, of course, real. A two-time Oscar winner, De Havilland went on to have an extremely successful career, and also holds the distinction of being the last surviving cast member of ‘Gone with the Wind’ at the ripe old age of 102.

Yes … 102! That’s pretty good going, right? Well, when you see what she looks like today, it’s fair to say you’ll be more than just a little surprised.

Bursting onto the scene as a fledgling starlet, Olivia garnered attention for her incredible beauty and acting ability. Having solidified her status as an icon for her performance in ‘Gone with the Wind’, Olivia enjoyed a career that spanned several decades, before retiring almost thirty years ago.

In June 2017, just two weeks before her 101st birthday, Olivia was appointed Dame Commander of the British Empire, becoming the oldest woman to ever receive the honor.

One would be forgiven for thinking that such a busy life – spent largely in the spotlight – would have taken its toll on Olivia, but the Toyko-born star looks as healthy today as she ever did.

Retaining much of her beauty and glamor, Olivia said in a recent interview that she’s proud of all she’s accomplished, citing the “Dame Commander” bestowment as “the most gratifying of birthday presents”.

Here’s what Olivia looks like today, aged an incredible 102.

We know, right. How is it possible/fair for a human to look that good after over 100 years?
