From Karl Holmberg:
“Generally considered the film that caused Olivia de Havilland to sue Warner Brothers over contract rights. She won the lawsuit, resulting in California Labor Code Section 2855, informally known as the “De Havilland Law”.”
Gotta wonder if “Chas” (an Oscar winner for that year!) didn’t also help that along a little…
(According to Piper Laurie in her memoirs (Learning To Love Out Loud), Charles Coburn loved pinching women’s bottoms. It was for him like a tic. Every female under one hundred and five had to move fast around.)
PRINCESS O’ROURKE, Olivia de Havilland, 1943
