TCM's Olivia de Havilland tribute


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.
