Legendary actress Olivia de Havilland will be ringing in her 100th birthday today and she tells PEOPLE she’ll be celebrating the milestone event with dinner and drinks with “dear, dear” friends. In next week’s issue of PEOPLE, the five-time Oscar nominee opens up about her life, career and romances.

Born in Japan of English parentage, naturalized and raised in Los Angeles, de Havilland has been an internationally recognized film star for over eight decades. Since her 1935 debut in Midsummer Night’s Dream and eight on-screen romances with Errol Flynn, she’s been slapped around by Bette Davis in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte and starred in Lady In A Cage with James Caan and opposite Montgomery Clift in The Heiress. Probably best known for her role as the sweet Melanie Wilkes in Gone With The Wind, now de Havilland says she’s “honored” to be called the last star of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

She's looking fabulous!  Maybe this is why TCM is airing GWTW tonight?

I'd forgotten that she starred in The Heiress.  That was a great movie!
