Vivien Leigh: A Biography
This is the story of an actress who became a Hollywood legend by winning the coveted role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, and whose circle included both theatrical and political celebrities. However, behind her dazzling exterior lay a complex and troubled individual.
As revealed in this biography, Vivien Leigh's life was marked by both glamour and darkness, from her aristocratic upbringing to her frustrating first marriage and tempestuous romance with Laurence Olivier. Her meteoric rise to stardom is also explored, alongside the sinister shadow that pursued her throughout her life.
The New York Times described this biography as a story that will appeal to readers pity and terror in equal measure.
