?My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part non-conformist. I say what I think and I don’t pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions."?Vivien LeighWhen Vivien Leigh died in 1967, headlines around the world proclaimed, ?Scarlett O’Hara is Dead!" Perhaps more than any of her contemporaries, Vivien Leigh became the very embodiment of the roles she made famous, from Gone With the Wind’s immortal heroine to her harrowing portrayal of Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. Vivien’s beauty, determination, and enormous charisma were her triumph, whether it was a matter of charming George Bernard Shaw in order to become his personal choice for the part of Scarlett?or winning the then-married Laurence Olivier as her husband. Her twenty-years’ partnership with Olivier, both onstage and off, made them the ?royal couple" of the theater, and garnered unparalleled critical and popular acclaim.But the achievement had its darker side, for Vivien became so immersed in her roles that she began to take on their characteristics in real life?often at enormous cost: playing Blanche DuBois actually ?tipped her into madness"; and while filming Ship of Fools, she found herself hammering co-star Lee Marvin’s face with very real?and painful?blows of her spiked heel. The public glamour of her fairy tale marriage to Olivier?so desperately arts and literature,biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history,entertainers,humor and entertainment Entertainers, Weidenfeld & Nicolson<
