The actress, who starred in blockbusters like "Gone With the Wind" and played opposite such dashing leading men as Errol Flynn, personified the glamour and elegance of a bygone age of moviemaking. /CFP

In a statement, her publicist Lisa Goldberg said de Havilland "died peacefully from natural causes" at her home in Paris, France, where she had lived for years. /CFP

De Havilland, who built a reputation for being a bankable star for any genre, starred in 49 movies from 1935 to 2009. /CFP

The star had lived in Paris since the early 1950s and received honors such as the National Medal of the Arts, France's Legion d'Honneur and the appointment to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. /CFP

A Twitter account run by screen legend Humphrey Bogart's son said, "We have lost a true Classic Hollywood icon." /CFP
