Vivien Leigh: A Biography

Vivien Leigh: A Biography

This is the story of the actress who became a Hollywood legend by winning the coveted role of Scarlett Oâ€™Hara in Gone with the Wind, and whose circle included both theatrical and political celebrities, from Winston Churchill to Noel Coward, John Gielgud, and Marlon Brando. But behind the dazzling exterior lay the sinister shadow of another Vivien Leighâ€”a shadow which pursued her throughout her aristocratic upbringing, her frustrating first marriage, her tempestuous romance with Laurence Olivier, and her meteoric rise to stardom. As The New York Times wrote of the hardcover edition, â€œTo read her story is to be inspired with pity and terror.â€
