As she turns 101 today, Olivia de Havilland has thrown down a challenge: Remember me as I am. If you live long enough and have moxie, you can do that.
The Oscar-winning actress has sued FX and Ryan Murphy Productions over the way she is portrayed in the miniseries Feud: Bette and Joan. She says the TV show damages her reputation by portraying her as a hypocrite and a petty gossip.
Feud is one of the most acclaimed TV productions of the year, but de Havilland lived through the saga of Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and the making of 1962s What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
De Havilland replaced Crawford on the 1964 chiller Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte. Davis, who died in 1989, had a great champion in de Havilland, a good friend at Warner Bros.

Whenever I watch "The Adventures Of Robin Hood", I'm always a little hypoxic by the end.

...and she never really forgave her sister, Joan Fontaine, for some comments the latter made about her way back...if she does sue, she'll win...
