Gone With The Wind actress Olivia de Havilland dies at the age of 104.

Gone With The Wind star Olivia de Havilland has died at the age of 104, her publicist has announced.

The two-time Oscar winner was one of the last surviving stars of Hollywood's Golden Age and at the time of her death, the oldest living person to have won an Academy Award.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, De Havilland died of natural causes in her sleep at her home in Paris, where she had lived for the last 60 years.

In her later years the actress stayed away from the spotlight although she remained active and last year, at the age of 103, was pictured gleefully riding a bicycle around the French capital.

De Havilland, who turned 104 earlier this month, is survived by one daughter, Gisele Galante.
