SLAVISH DEDICATION

In the Hollywood Reporter, Robert Osborne, on the casting of Olivia de Havilland in “North and South: Book II”--”And typical of De Havilland’s attention to detail and research as an actress . . . she’s arriving in town early so she can watch a tape of all 12 hours of that first ‘North and South.’ . . .”

And no doubt poring over the ABC press releases, too.
