Vivien Leigh was a British actress. She won the Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of Blanche DuBois in
A Streetcar Named Desire, a role she also played on stage in London's West End, as well as for her portrayal of the southern belle Scarlett O'Hara, alongside Clark Gable, in the American Civil War drama
Gone with the Wind.
She was a prolific stage performer, frequently in collaboration with her then-husband, Laurence Olivier, who directed her in several of her roles. During her 30-year stage career, she played roles ranging from the heroines of Noël Coward and George Bernard Shaw comedies to classic Shakespearean characters such as Ophelia, Cleopatra, Juliet and Lady Macbeth.
I love her movies, like
Gone with the Wind and
That Hamilton Woman. She was a gorgeous lady, and the victorian style dresses are amazing!
