Winner of the Society for Theatre Research Book Prize 2020 Vivien
Leigh was perhaps the most iconic actress of the twentieth century.
As Scarlett O'Hara and Blanche Du Bois she took on some of the most
pivotal roles in cinema history. Yet she was also a talented
theatre actress with West End and Broadway plaudits to her name. In
this ground-breaking new biography, Alan Strachan provides a
completely new full-life portrait of Leigh, covering both her
professional and personal life. Using previously unseen sources
from her archive, recently acquired by the V&A, he sheds new
light on her fractious relationship with Laurence Olivier, based on
their letters and diaries, as well as on the bipolar disorder which
so affected her later life and work. Revealing new aspects of her
early life as well as providing glimpses behind-the-scenes of the
filming of Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, this
book provides the essential and comprehensive life-story of one of
the twentieth century's greatest actresses.
