 The Heiress ('49) - GC Film Series, spring 2001
Olivia de Havilland won her second Academy Award for The Heiress, and it was well deserved, for this hardworking, sincere actress gave one of her most thoughtful performances in this screen version of the Ruth and Augustus Goetz play, with screenplay also by the Goetzes, based on Henry James's Washington Square.
