Vivien Leigh

from the film Fire Over England (1937)

Vivien Leigh, Lady Olivier (5 November 1913 – 7 July 1967) was an
Indian-born English actress. She won two Best Actress Academy
Awards for playing “southern belles”: Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named
Desire (1951), a role she had also played on stage in London’s West End. 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.Lauded for her beauty, Leigh felt that it sometimes prevented her from
being taken seriously as an actress. However, ill health proved to be
her greatest obstacle. For much of her adult life Leigh dealt with bipolar disorder.[1]
She earned a reputation for being difficult to work with, and her
career suffered periods of inactivity. She also suffered recurrent bouts
of chronic tuberculosis, which she was first diagnosed
with in the mid-1940s. Leigh and Olivier divorced in 1960, and she
worked sporadically in film and theatre until her death from
tuberculosis in 1967.
