Actor: Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland won Best Actress twice, for To Each His Own and The Heiress, and played opposite Errol Flynn in eight films including Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood.

She sued Warner Bros over the practice of extending contracts by the length of any suspension, and won. The resulting De Havilland Law still governs California employment contracts and is among the most consequential legal actions any performer has taken. She lived to a hundred and four.
