Dame Olivia de Havilland Has Died At 104
Even though we’ve all screamed, “MERCY!”, a million times, 2020 has not let up and keeps hitting us with more sads. One of the last remaining jewels in the crown that is Old Hollywood has died. And Olivia de Havilland lived a LIFE! She had just turned 104 on July 1.
Olivia de Havilland Legal Tussle With FX Is Done After The Supreme Court Refused To Hear Her Case
The long legal battle between Olivia de Havilland and FX/Ryan Murphy started last year when she clutched and crushed her pearls (RIP those pearls in the above picture) over Catherine Zeta-Jones’ portrayal of her in Feud: Bette and Joan. Olivia thought that Ryan and Co. made her look like a catty gossip, and she felt like it was putting a crack in her image. Olivia also denied ever calling her sister Joan Fontaine a “bitch.” She called her a “babe,” okay!? Olivia filed a lawsuit and after it was thrown out of court after court, it’s been thrown out of the highest court in the land. You might think this means that Olivia’s fight against FX is done, but I’m not so sure. Hell hath no fury like an old rich woman who both has all the time in the world and is running out of time. Lady Justice may have tied Olivia’s hands, but she still gonna git you, Murphy!
Olivia de Havilland Is Taking Her “Feud” Fight Against Ryan Murphy To The Supreme Court
102-year-old Olivia de Havilland is Not The One, as Ryan Murphy has painfully come to find out. Olivia is not giving up her long fight against Ryan for what she claims is his totally bogus impersonation of her in Feud: Bette and Joan. Even though the California Supreme Court decided not to review her case against Ryan last July, Olivia is continuing to Vaseline up her knuckles and is not backing down in her protection of her pristine Hollywood image. Olivia and her legal team are taking her case to The Highest Court Of The Land.
Ryan Murphy Wants To Do A #MeToo Show In The Style Of “Black Mirror”
Ryan Murphy has a lot of ideas. One is that you can’t call what he does “camp”, that’s insulting. He calls his aesthetic “baroque” instead. In a recent New Yorker profile, Ryan said that it used to “really bug the shit” out of him when people labeled his work camp, which he says suggests a “musty smallness”. Baroque, on the other hand “ is big”. So one of Ryan’s big, baroque ideas is to do a TV about #metoo inspired by Black Mirror.
Olivia de Havilland’s Lawsuit Against Ryan Murphy Has Been Thrown Out
Last week we learned that 101-year-old Olivia de Havilland’s legal slap-fight against Feud co-creator Ryan Murphy and FX had been moved to the California Court of Appeals. It needed to get solved fast, because Olivia is 101 and she’d probably rather not spend her last moments hissing at Ryan Murphy from behind the witness stand. It got solved quickly, but not in the way Olivia was hoping.
Olivia de Havilland’s “Feud” Lawsuit Has Been Moved To Appeals Court
You don’t have to be terribly old to learn you don’t mess with old broads. They have zero fucks to give and all the time in the world to find some way to snatch your weave and bring you down a peg or fifteen. Ryan Murphy is getting his own lesson, as 101-year-old Olivia de Havilland decided to come for him for using her likeness without her permission in Feud.
