Screen legend Olivia de Havilland has made her displeasure with Ryan Murphy’s “Feud” as clear as possible.

The “Gone with the Wind” star filed a lawsuit Friday – on the eve of her 101st birthday – suing FX and Ryan Murphy Productions over how she was portrayed in the cable series, which chronicled the bitter rivalry between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. The suit claims that the FX series “puts words in the mouth of Miss de Havilland which are inaccurate and contrary to the reputation she has built.”

Olivia de Havilland sued Warner Brothers when she was young regarding the servitude of the studio contract system. And she won! It is good to know that age (101 years, no less) has not slowed her down. She is virtually the last surviving of the Hollywood legends. Go Olivia!

I watched the FX series FEUD. The two actresses were great as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Most of the episodes surrounded the movie Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, but the end of the mini series showed the filming of Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. Joan Crawford was dropped from the project and Olivia deHaviland brought on board to replace Crawford. The FX show ended back in May. I wonder why it has taken so long to file the lawsuit.
Olivia still has a lot of spunk.
