People know Olivia deHavilland. Maybe she's not as famous as Napoleon but she's definitely known enough to satisfy the rule.

'at least 50%''...

To have a 'definite' answer, we can run here a quick survey.

I honestly have never heard this name, and I've seen Gone with the Wind.

I'm sorrry if many on webDip have never heard of her. I am probably older than many players here (68) and she is well known to my generation. I sent the Brittanica link to show her photo mainly. I always thought she was stunningly beautiful.

I'm late 20s and know Olivia de Havilland!

Thank you. I was starting to feel like a dinosaur.

Of course it was valid.

Amazed people not heard of her (especially J tbh).

I was purely referring to the initial rule of 50% hit by the dart set by Doug. I bet you 100 webPoints that neither in the US nor in the UK you would achieve 10%. I reckon that her figure is strongly esoteric.

But thanks to this challenge, we, the more ignorant ones from the population of 90%, have learnt something new. And now, joined the esoteric elite!

She's one of the most famous and highly rated actresses of all time.

Many people have been killed by subjectivity

I would still stick to something a little bit more quantifiable, like 50% of folks hit by a dart tossed from Doug's window (never heard this metaphor, but I love it).

"De Havilland was not only the last surviving major cast member of Gone with the Wind (1939) and one of the longest-lived major stars in Hollywood history, but she was unquestionably the last surviving iconic figure from the peak of Hollywood's golden era during the late 1930s, and her passing truly marked the end of an era.

I'm going to go buy some darts and head right down to the Senior Center.
