Description
A sweeping and heartbreaking biography of the passionate, turbulent marriage of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. In 1934, Vivien Leigh met Laurence Olivier at Theatre Royal, where he was performing, and she was immediately smitten. However, their relationship was complicated by their existing marriages, and their love affair would go on to captivate millions. Through new research, including exclusive access to previously unpublished correspondence and interviews with their friends and family, author Stephen Galloway explores the tempestuous liaison between Olivier and Leigh. Set against the backdrop of two world wars, the Golden Age of Hollywood, and the upheavals of the 1960s, their relationship was marked by love, loss, and the ultimate agony of their parting. This biography offers a bewitching journey into the lives of two of the first truly global celebrities, whose fame was fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television.
