More on Olivia de Havilland

More on Olivia de Havilland: The actress will reportedly write her memoirs for HarperCollins. Editor Maureen O’Brien will work with her on the book.
Last night at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne was on hand to chat with de Havilland, who received three standing ovations throughout the evening.
De Havilland, who at one point wanted to become a teacher, reminisced about a conversation she had with Errol Flynn while on the set of Captain Blood in 1935. Flynn asked her what she wanted to get from life, and her response was, "Respect for difficult work well done."
The two-time Academy Award winner then added, "You here tonight … have made me feel that, perhaps after all, I have achieved that young dream."
