Reframing Vivien Leigh takes a new look at the laboring life one of
the twentieth century's most iconic stars. Author Lisa Stead
reframes the dominant narratives that have surrounded Leigh's life
and career, offering a new perspective on Vivien Leigh as a
distinctly archival subject. The book examines the collections and
curatorial practices that have built up around her, exploring
material documents collated by her own hand and by those who worked
with her. The book also examines the collection practices of those
who have developed deep, long-standing fandoms of her life and
work. To do so, the book draws upon new oral history work with
curators, archivists and fan collectives and examines a variety of
archived correspondence, items of dress and costume, script
annotations, photography, press clippings, props and memorabilia.
It argues that such material has the potential to produce a new
interpretation of Leigh as a creative laborer. As such, the book
casts new light on the labor of archiving itself and the
significance of archival processes and practices to contemporary
feminist film historiography.
