Related: About this forumOlivia DeHavilland will be 98 July 1. Will the Kennedy Center Honors follow?
I know it's not political. But I've been here since 2002, and I feel strongly about this. I want this to happen. and it's too bad Mickey Rooney never made it. The Kennedy Center Honors needs to honor the great Olivia DeHavilland. Now.

Doris Day declined a Kennedy Center Honor because she didn't want to travel to DC.

She was great in that role. Course it was my favorite character.
