Olivia de Havilland's death at the age of 104 has severed one of the remaining living links to the Golden Age of Hollywood - and possibly the last of the really big names of her vintage. Hitchcock collaborator Norman Lloyd (Saboteur), Caren Marsh Doll (who worked on The Wizard of Oz), Nehemiah Persoff (Some Like It Hot), and Marge Champion (Show Boat) were all 100 or more and still alive at the time of writing.
