Her return engagement
![Olivia de Hallivand, the last remaining great Hollywood star of both the golden '30s and '40s, is an irresistible woman. When the subject of birthdays comes up in the middle of an interview, she looks the writer straight in the eye and declares, "I'm old enough to be your mother!," promptly brushing aside all polite demurrals.

Clearly the truthfulness that characterizes De Havilland's acting comes from the woman herself.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-06/23819066.jpg "Olivia de Hallivand, the last remaining great Hollywood star of both the golden '30s and '40s, is an irresistible woman.
