Actress Olivia de Havilland died at the end of last month at the age of 104. Since her passing occurred so close to the start of Summer Under the Stars, I wondered whether TCM would just wait until September to do a likely 24-hour salute to her. However, TCM decided to bump what was originally going to be Bette Davis' day tomorrow, August 23, and do a day of Olivia de Havilland instead. The movies they're showing are:
The Male Animal, with Henry Fonda and Ronald Coleman, kicks things off at 6:00 AM.
At 8:00 AM, there's Princess O'Rourke.
Light in the Piazza with Rossanno Brazzi, George Hamilton, and Yvette Mimieux, comes on at 10:00 AM.
In This Our Life follows at noon.
Captain Blood, which teamed de Havilland with Errol Flynn for the first time, shows up at 1:45 AM.
There's more of de Havilland and Flynn in Dodge City at 4:00 PM, and
The Adventures of Robin Hood at 6:00 PM.
Prime time kicks off at 8:00 PM with Gone With the Wind.
De Havilland won her second Oscar for The Heiress, airing at midnight.
Her first Oscar was for To Each His Own, which follows at 2:15 AM.
The final film in the tribute is Hard to Get, at 4:30 AM.
