Beauty and the Beast : Does this actress look like a real life version of Belle?

Does this actress look like a real life version of Belle?

Olivia de Havilland. You may not know of her. She was a Hollywood actress, famous in the 1930s and 1940s.

To me, she looks a bit like Belle - the eyes, the brown hair.

Here's one photo:

This one, reminds me of the scene of Belle running through the fields while singing "I want so much more than this provincial life":

Someone brought up Claire Bloom, who was in Shirley Temple's version of BatB. She's much closer than de Havilland (most famous for her role in Gone with the Wind), where I really don't see the facial similarity at all. To the point where it seems like it can't be coincidence that Bloom is Disney!Belle's spitting image (same widow's peak and face shape) and played the role of Belle once.

Though I'd also say that a young Paige O'Hara, the voice of Disney!Belle, also has a lot of the cartoon's looks.
