A two-time Oscar winner and—at age 102—the last surviving cast member of Gone with the Wind, Olivia de Havilland is also a sly and subversive prose stylist. Falling in love with a Frenchman, the actress made the leap from Hollywood to Paris, where culture shock set in the moment she got off the plane. In this 1961 memoir, de Havilland lets us laugh along with her as she learns to embrace the metric system, Catholic culture, and taking a bath in the kitchen. This edition also includes a 2016 interview with the grande dame, who looks back on six decades in the City of Light.
