Olivia de Havilland was born in Tokyo, Japan, to parents from the United Kingdom. Her father, Walter Augustus de Havilland was a patent attorney with a practice in Japan, and her mother, Lilian Augusta Ruse was a stage actress who had left her career after going to Tokyo with her husband - she would return to work after her daughters had already won fame in the 40s, with the stage name of Lillian Fontaine. De Havilland appeared as Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, her first stage production, at the Hollywood Bowl.

The stage production was later turned into a 1935 movie, her film debut. Although the stage cast was largely replaced with Warner Bros. contract players, she was hired to reprise her role as Hermia. After appearing with Joe E. Brown in Alibi Ike and James Cagney in The Irish in Us, she played opposite Errol Flynn in such highly popular films as Captain Blood, The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), and as Maid Marian to Flynn's Robin Hood in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Overall, she starred opposite Flynn in eight films (source: wikipedia.org)
