Amazing woman, terrific (and legendary) actor - and a distinguished member of an extraordinary family (she is related to the aviation pioneer, - who, among many other things, designed the exceedingly impressive Mosquito fighter plane, the Mosquito - Geoffrey de Havilland, and was a sister of the actress Joan Fontaine).

The sister's feud with each other went on for decades and probably would made a good movie.

I have always liked her as an actress. I believe she is the last from the Hollywood golden years.
@JamesMike: You may wish to change the thread title to reflect the fact that she has died this evening.
