Synopsis
A unique photographic record of Vivien Leigh's life taken by the photographer who noticed her on her first stage appearance in 1936 and asked her to model for him. This meeting led to a series of photographs produced at regular intervals throughout the rest of her life and a friendship which lasted beyond her death. The photographs which were taken for the casting of the role of Scarlet O'Hara were so successful that certain camera angles and the special "Vivien Leigh look" the photographer created were incorporated into key scenes in "Gone with the Wind". Personal memoirs which accompany the photographs contain many unknown details about her life and have ensured that her legend, like that of Marilyn Monroe, has lived after her death. |
