"Gone with the Wind" is a novel by American female writer Margaret Mitchell, which was later adapted into an epic film by Hollywood.
The English name of the movie is "GONE with the WiND", which is translated into Chinese as "Gone with the Wind".
Heroes emerge from troubled times! Beauty can also emerge from troubled times!
Vivien Leigh was born Vivian Mary Hartley on November 5, 1913, in Darjeeling, India.
She inherited her mother's beauty and her father's love for drama. She was selected to recite poetry at a charity gala at the age of 3.
As she grew up, she studied ballet, played cello in the school orchestra, and passed the piano exam at the Royal Academy of Music. As a girl, she is versatile and beautiful!
At the age of 18, she was admitted to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
A year later, 19-year-old Vivien Leigh married 32-year-old Holman. The subsequent pregnancy caused her to temporarily interrupt her drama studies.
Unfortunately, the lawyer husband she married was not the one she thought was the right one!
In 1934, when Vivien Leigh was watching the stage play "Theatre Royale", she was fascinated by Oliver on the stage. She turned around and said to her girlfriend on the side, "That's the man I want to marry."
Yes, she fell in love with Oliver at first sight. The man she loved to her soul was also her only true love in this life!
Oliver was also attracted by her beauty and talent, and the two became friends after repeated divorces from their respective spouses. Altar couple.
Oliver got the opportunity to star in the Hollywood movie "Wuthering Heights" and introduced Vivien Leigh to audition for "Gone with the Wind". As a result, she got the role of Scarlett and won her first Oscar.
Vivien Leigh of that period was very similar to the Scarlett depicted in Margaret Mitchell's novels, both in appearance and personality. The clear green eyes on her beautiful face shed a stubborn light!
This self-confidence persists deep into the bones!
Even though she received the highest honor in the film industry, she still could not Confident. Her lack of confidence comes from her husband, Oliver, who she believes is more talented than herself and therefore deserves an Oscar earlier than she does. She admired him so much, loved him so much, her love was like a flower blooming from the dust.
Vivien Leigh, who won the Oscar, did not focus her work on movies, but pursued her dream of stage plays in the UK with her husband Oliver
This also greatly taxed her health. Got tuberculosis. This disease, which can be cured with antibiotics today, was incurable at that time. The progression of the disease also brought her uncontrollable side effects. The consequences are too much for Oliver to bear. To make matters worse, she also suffered from mental problems. Severe depression develops into mania. She curses loudly and beats Oliver. After waking up, I regretted it endlessly!
In 1951, 38-year-old Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando starred in "A Streetcar Named Desire", performing Blanche, a middle-aged woman with a mental breakdown, to the extreme. Once again Oscar-winning actress.
Blanche at this time is Vivien Leigh. I have watched "A Streetcar Named Desire". In this movie, she has long lost the amazing beauty of Scarlett, with sparse hair and tired eyes. Compared with Scarlett's vitality, Blanche is decadent at this time, and becomes frightened when the wind blows. The dependence of living in her sister's house and her self-deceptive vanity made Blanche pitiful and disgusting!
Vivien Leigh during that period was just like the pitiful and disgusting Blanche in Oliver's eyes, this 51-year-old man She told a friend that "she is too tired for me" and just wanted to find a quiet haven to rest.
Vivien Leigh won an Oscar twice for being so relevant to the characters in the play. Scarlett is a comedy in which she is young and happy at the beginning of her life. Blanche is the tragedy of her late beauty and bleak ending in life!
On Vivien Leigh's 45th birthday, after having dinner with her, Oliver told her, "I think our relationship should end." "
Oliver fell in love with someone else! He is a perfectionist, and he fell in love with Vivien Leigh at first.
It's because of her beauty, temperament, and intelligence, which are almost perfect. But now she is in dilapidated state. He couldn't accept her like this, and it would be better to forget her than stay with her!
She proudly declared publicly in the newspaper
"Sir and Lady Oliver hereby solemnly declare that Sir Laurence has brazenly filed for divorce. In order to marry Miss Joan Plowright, my lady will naturally obey her wishes and fulfill her wish."
Her signature is still Mrs. Sir Oliver, and this signature has always appeared on various of her documents and letters. and everything she needed to sign remained unchanged until the end of her life. Although it was another man, Jack Merriwell, who accompanied him throughout his life.
She still can't let go!
Maybe she doesn't love him, because she and Jack Merivale get along well with each other, and there is no quarrel with Oliver. Only when you love too much will you care about gains and losses. If you don't love, you will be calm and calm.
On July 8, 1967, Vivien Leigh suffered a recurrence of tuberculosis and fainted in her apartment and never woke up.
Vivien Leigh once left the most famous passage:
"If I could start my life over, there are two things I would still do.
One is to become A great actor, the second is to marry Laurence Olivier
She will never forget him until death! She once said, "I would rather live with Larry (nickname of Olivier) for a short time than live without him." Longevity in Larry's case. ”
Oliver is her moth to the flame. She would rather let the fire illuminate and burn herself than fly alone in the dark night without fire!
She is so beautiful. , there is no need for such acting skills! She has such acting skills, there is no need for such beauty! As a great actor, she is perfect after all!
