Gainesville Historic Downtown Square Saturday, August 15th, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. CELEBRIS REPORT Oscar-winning actress de HaviUand dies at 104 Si! Main Street I’m still missing the one who got away 12 years ago Dear Carolyn: I screwed up and lost a terrific woman nearly 12 years ago. I’m married with kids now and the regret has been worked through, therap-ized, counseled, etc. I’ll go months without a problem and then I’ll have a dream about her and it all comes back, the second-guessing, the regret, the guilt, and it will be with me for weeks. My closest friends believe I’m still in love with her. I’ve brought it up with my coun selor. I know that’s not fair to my wife. I don’t know how to work past something that comes when I dream about her, since that’s not some thing I can control. — Grieving the One Who Got Away You can’t control the dreams, no. But you can control how you think and frame things when you’re awake. So you can, for example, control how much you indulge your impulse to keep seeing your ex in your mind as exactly the person you knew 12 years ago... or idealized 11.5 years ago, ahem. She’s not that person anymore, she’s 12 years different. Same goes for you. And the way you felt about each other then ... let’s say 12.5 years ago? That, had you stayed together, would be long gone by now, overwritten multiple times by the feelings and the relationship you and she shaped with your actions and experiences. And, no, don’t counter with, “We would have grown together since.” You could also be six years divorced from her by now, probably over some version of the same thing that broke you up back then. Because you did break up. You did “lose” this person through some choice of your own. You had your reasons, and it’s time to be as convinced of those as you are of your attachment to your ex. Short version, stop mytholo gizing and making stuff up. Yes it’s not fair to your wife, but it’s also not fair to you. And it’s not! real! So when you have your next dream, wake up with perspective: appreciation for a fond memory, a mental refresher that this is only fic tion and only occurs subconsciously a few times a year, and a warm hug for your wife. Deal? Reader suggestions: — Chances are you aren’t grieving/ missing this person, but the person you were/wanted to be back then, or a dream of your life back then. Focus on explor ing with your therapist what that missing piece is and see how you can attend to that (missing sense of adventure, whatever) in your life today. — Soooo... you intend to compound this mistake by screwing up and losing another wonderful woman (aka: your wife)? Ah. There’s that. Thanks. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com. CAROLYN HAX tellme@washpost.com Olivia de Havilland, the doe-eyed actress beloved to millions as the sainted Melanie Wilkes of “Gone With the Wind,” but also a two-time Oscar winner and an off-screen fighter who challenged and unchained Hol lywood’s contract system, died Sunday at her home in Paris. She was 104. Havilland, the sister of fellow Oscar winner Joan Fontaine, died peacefully of natural causes, said New York-based publicist Lisa Goldberg. De Havilland was among the last of the top screen performers from the studio era, and the last surviving lead from “Gone With the Wind,” an irony, she once noted, since the fragile, self-sacri ficing Wilkes was the only major character to die in the film. The 1939 epic, based on Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling Civil War novel and winner of 10 Academy Awards, is often ranked as Hollywood’s box office champion (adjusting for inflation), although it is now widely condemned for its glorified portrait of slavery and antebellum life. Three directors worked on the film, stars Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable were far more connected on screen than off and the fourth featured performer, Leslie Howard, was openly indifferent to the role of Ashley Wilkes, Melanie’s husband. But de Havilland remembered the movie as “one of the hap piest experiences I’ve ever had in my life. It was doing something I wanted to do, playing a character I loved and liked.” During a career that spanned six decades, de Havilland also took on roles ranging from an unwed mother to a psychiatric inmate in “The Snake Pit.” She was Errol Flynn’s co-star in a series of dramas, Westerns and period pieces, most memorably as Maid Marian in “The Adven tures of Robin Hood.” But De Havilland also was a prototype for an actress too beautiful for her own good, typecast in sweet and romantic roles while desiring greater challenges. Her frustration finally led her to sue War ner Bros, in 1943 when the studio tried to keep her under contract after it had expired, claiming she owed six more months because she had been suspended for refusing roles. Her friend Bette Davis was among those who had failed to get out of her contract under similar conditions in the 1930s, but de Havil land prevailed, with the California Court of Appeals ruling that no studio could extend an agreement without the performer’s consent. The decision is still unofficially called the “De Havilland law.” She attributed her longevity to three L’s: “love, laughter, and learning,” and displayed a keen sense of humor — even calling her interviewer a “rascal” for a probing question. Queen Elizabeth II joins virtual unveiling of portrait Queen Elizabeth II has joined in the vir tual unveiling of a new portrait commis sioned by Britain’s Foreign Office to honor her services to diplomacy. The portrait of the monarch by Miriam Escof et is meant to pay tribute to the queen’s work in promoting U.K. interests all over the world. The queen saw the painting on her com puter screen, and observed that a tea cup in the portrait lacked a key ingredient: tea. Escofet told the monarch that she had included the insignia of the FCO on the cup. The unveiling took place during a virtual visit in which the monarch was told about how the Foreign Office handled the shock wave of the coronavirus pandemic and brought thousands of British tourists home from far-flung travels. Associated Press De Havilland ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions.

TODAY IN HISTORY PHOTO Associated Press Firemen and other investigators look at the damage done in an office on the 79th floor of New York’s Empire State Building by a B-25 bomber, July 28,1945. | The calendar of events will return at a later date. HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are certain things you feel you know about your future self, as you’ve had glimpses of the person you’re growing into. To fuel the vi sion is in no way a rejection of who you are now. Your vision guides with a loving push. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You like some of what’s going on now, but you also know that it doesn’t take too long for “more of the same” to feel like a trap. You’ll resist complacency and order something different off of the menu of life. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Re lationships are more impor tant than whatever it is that’s being exchanged inside them. You don’t think of people in terms of what they can do for you, but some people do. Avoid those who are gunning for short-term gains. CANCER (June 22-July 22). To have a place for everything and everything in that place is an achievable ideal. Maybe things will not stay that way for long, but once established, it’s a state that can be re turned to with minimal effort. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most of the wins come from be ing in the right headspace to cross the goal line. The actual movement matters less than the mindset that’s making you move. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The status quo has impressive muscles and will flex them to intimidate change. If you let them, things will go back to the way they were. What are you willing to do to stop it? LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You receive the gift of cosmic clarity and will be motivated by what you learn. You’ll identify a specific area you could improve on, and you’ll see an easy, workable way to this end. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re committed to being helpful, and it has only led to better things. People value you and will ask appropriately. Nothing you give diminishes you. All that you give makes you bigger. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone stumbles, but not everyone gets back up. Build a fail-safe into your plan so that when you fall down, it will be very obvious what you need to do next to spring back. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re ready to try a new ap proach. You just need a good subject. Pick either someone who already seems up for it or someone who so sorely needs help that any involve ment is a step up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Doing too many things at once can be a method of self sabotage. Decide where to focus, and then be strict with yourself. Master one skill. Get that in your bones before you do anything else. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Have a conversation about what the issue is. You don’t want to waste your time dig ging down into the wrong place. Listen to your emotions and they will show you just the spot to work on.
