   A collection of 27 outfits worn by Hollywood legend Olivia de Havilland
   is going up for auction next month, some of which she wore on screen
   during her acting career more than 50 years ago.

   The Sept. 17 online auction at Chicago-based Hindman also includes
   haute couture designs by Christian Dior that de Havilland, who turned
   103 in July, wore at movie premieres and galas between 1954-1989.

   De Havilland, a double Oscar winner who is best known for playing
   Melanie Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind," sold the bulk of her Dior
   collection at a London auction in 1993.
