	Honorary Academy Awards Nomination : Olivia de Havilland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Yes,I think Olivia De Havilland deserves an honorary academy award.I greatly enjoy her vast body of filmwork,especially the movies she did with Errol Flynn {one of my favorite actors}.She,lie Errol,was of a rare breed of actress not seen anymore in modern entertainment.
		And Olivia was so genuinely selfless, I believe as much in reality as in the part she played itself.
		Olivia de Havilland in her role of Melanie Wilkes, greeting Scarlett in Tara, I thought it might be another supporting and shallow character as many.
