In June 2006, she made appearances at tributes for her 90th birthday at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences and the Los Angeles County Art Museum.

Despite a lifetime of close-ups, Olivia de Havilland remains something of an enigma. In the 1940s, psychoanalyzing her was a popular Hollywood pastime. She preferred supper at home, in bed, instead of dancing at Ciro's on Sunset. Single until age 30, she first married a writer and then later a magazine editor -- not movie stars. Home has been a continent away from L.A. since 1954.

After the Second World War, de Havilland continued with leading-edge designs in both the military and civil field, but several public disasters doomed the company as an independent entity. The experimental, tailless, jet-powered de Havilland DH 108 Swallow crashed in the Thames Estuary, killing Geoffrey de Havilland Jr, son of the company's founder. The de Havilland Comet was put into service in 1952 as the eagerly-anticipated first commercial jet airliner, twice as fast as previous alternatives and a source of British national pride. The Comet suffered three tragic and high-profile crashes in two years. Less well known, but equally disastrous, was the explosion of the DH 110 Sea Vixen prototype during the 1952 Farnborough Air Show, which ... killed members of the public.
