Personal clues:
It's easier to make the audience cry than laugh. Vivien Leigh's views on her second stage play Hypocrisy (1935).
Some comments described me as a great actress. I think it's stupid because they put the burden and responsibility on me, and I can't just accept it. Elegant people have their own principles. Half of a woman's charm comes from her fantasy.
Vivien Leigh has a pair of shrewd big eyes, a delicate face and a slim waist. When Selzny first met Vivien on 1938, she was deeply moved by her appearance. It is said that Churchill once saw Vivian at a party, and his people said to him, "You can meet her." But Churchill said, "No, I want to enjoy God's masterpiece from a distance."
The real birth year of Li is 19 1 1. Later, when Gone with the Wind was promoted, the film company reduced her by two years, because the company thought that the younger the actress, the better, so her birth date became 19 1 1. She was born in India, and her father is a successful British businessman. Vivian had a wonderful childhood in India.
After the outbreak of World War I, she returned to England with her parents and entered a women's monastery to study. /kloc-When she was 0/9 years old, she married a jurist. Vivien Leigh came into contact with movies through a friend in a monastery, and then she began to play some small roles. And met laurence olivier, who was already very famous at that time. Her husband couldn't understand her great passion for acting, but Vivien Leigh got closer and closer to like-minded Lawrence, and soon they divorced separately. 1938, Hollywood invited Lawrence to make a film in America, and he starred in Wuthering Heights. Vivian followed Lawrence to Hollywood. As it happens, the famous producer David Selznick is choosing a heroine for his epic Gone with the Wind. The nationwide casting campaign is so vigorous that countless big stars are eager to get the role, but they can't satisfy Selznick. When Dansel Znick's brother introduced Vivian to his brother and director, Znick immediately realized that she was the one they were looking for. Gone with the Wind is the most important and successful film in film history, and even today it still has countless audiences. Vivian successfully played the most famous role-Scarlett, and she won her first Oscar.
1940, Vivien Leigh made another American film, Broken Blue Bridge, which was very familiar to the audience in China, but it was not very successful in the United States at that time. However, Vivien Leigh herself likes it very much, especially the interlude in the film. She had hoped to play this song at her own funeral. After that, the couple returned to London to perform their favorite stage play. 195 1 year, Wen Fei played her second Oscar-winning film A Streetcar Named Desire, and the heroine in the film finally had a nervous breakdown. Perhaps it was too much participation, intense work and her fragile nerves, and Vivian soon contracted the same disease. Wen Fei was sent to a mental hospital for treatment. Although she and Lawrence were once recognized as the happiest and most suitable couple, Lawrence couldn't stand his hysterical wife, and they formally divorced on 1960. Vivien Leigh last appeared on the screen in the movie Ship of Fools, but she only played a small role in this movie. Vivien Leigh died of sudden tuberculosis on July 7th, 0967 at the age of 53. Her illness tormented her until her death in 1967.
Despite suffering from illness, Wen Fei's amazing beauty passed away soon, but what she will always remain in the audience's mind is her immortal image in Gone with the Wind.
She always wears a flowery hairstyle and is infinitely capricious; A crooked head is always jealous of men. She deliberately stared at her big eyes, which changed the tendency of Hollywood women to squint and flatter-no woman would stare at her eyes so well, because it was not to show off, but to find out.
"She has such beauty, there is no need to have such acting skills; She has such acting skills that she doesn't have to look so good at all. " -Hollywood is just for her.
(Author: Hai Yin) If Vivien Leigh's life is made into a movie, I believe it will be a touching movie. The beginning of the film should be like this: On the eve of World War I, a little princess Vivien Leigh was born in the royal family of a British colony in the northeastern Indian Gulf ... Vivien Leigh spent the first six years of her life in this beautiful country.
After the war, her mother sent Vivien Leigh back to England, and Vivien Leigh became the youngest student in the school at that time. Later, her mother sent her to a drama school, where Vivien Leigh decided to become an actress.
After graduation, Vivien Leigh met Herbert Ray and married him. The following year, 1933, they had a child named Susanna. Although Vivien Leigh misses her birthplace very much, she wants to be an actress. From 19438+0935, Vivien Leigh plays Ross Wennabaris in the movie The Village Owner.
Later, Vivien Leigh met the famous Lawrence Oliver and fell in love with him. 1938, Vivien Leigh came to the United States. There, Vivien Leigh was lucky enough to meet the Selznick brothers, who were looking for an actor to play the heroine Scarlett in Gone with the Wind. 1939, Vivien Leigh overwhelmed Fang Qun with her unique charm and became the best person to play Scarlett. Give the character a distinctive personality. After the film was released, it sensationalized the whole country and crossed the ocean. People agree that Scarlett played by Vivien Leigh has added brilliance to American film history. Because of this, she was crowned the best actress at the Oscar that year. Later, Vivien Leigh starred in the movie Broken Blue Bridge, which added another brilliant stroke to American film history with sincere, natural and charming performances. In the early 1950s, Vivien Leigh, who has reached middle age, vividly portrayed a poor woman who was once beautiful and rich, but now she is declining and premature, and won the best actress Oscar for the second time. Vivien Leigh's life is a life of creating a series of brilliant achievements in the film industry. Unfortunately, after taking a selfie of Gone with the Wind, her health will go from bad to worse, especially after her divorce from laurence olivier. On July 8, 0967, at the age of 54, she died suddenly because of overwork. Although time flies, fans all over the world have been thinking of this star who once brought us a beautiful vision.
In fact, only life can be broken, and love, as an emotion, will never be broken. Laurence olivier said at Vivien Leigh's funeral: She is the woman I love most in my life.
Vivien Leigh met Lawrence Oliver when she was almost 23 years old. She is married and has a child, but she has a crush on each other and is convinced that she will be his wife. Legend has it that they really attracted each other, and finally bid farewell to their respective marriages after experiencing the underground stage of physical and mental exhaustion, and stayed together as they wished.
It is said that before everything was completely clear, she often asked Oliver's wife Jill about his details, his hobbies, habits and styles. Jill, who is aware of her husband's growing anxiety, understands that Vivian is using all shortcuts to win Oliver's favor. If she confides anything, it is equivalent to pushing the man she loves to each other. But strangely, she can't refuse to continue to associate with Vivian. The biography explains, "In fact, she was also attracted to Vivien Leigh."
Wen Fei was once a devout Catholic. In the eyes of everyone, including her husband, she is considerate, intelligent and wise. He never thought that she would be keen on drama and give up the tranquility of marriage, let alone that she was brilliant and brilliant. He is familiar with the girl who is 19 years old and looks amazing in a black skirt. When holman, 3 1 year-old, met Vivien Lee, 81year-old in the street, the lawyer, who has always behaved appropriately, "stared at this charming face in front of him": a round and handsome jaw, a clear and elegant lip line, dazzling and intelligent eyes and a beautiful face. The lawyer's "step-by-step life suddenly appeared a love story."
Holman met Vivien Leigh at the neighbor's dance. He danced with her in the most gentlemanly way. He talked with her about her life and wishes with concern. For Vivien Leigh, who grew up in a monastery, holman's lawyers are mature and kind, which she has never met. The following year, Vivien Leigh was admitted to the Royal Academy of Drama. So, holman waited at the school gate after class every day. Born in a famous family, graduated from Cambridge, has his own office in London and has many successful friends. Everything about holman made Vivien Leigh feel how respectable a person's wisdom is. Later, all the friends of lawyer holman remembered Vivien Leigh best: beautiful and submissive. It was not until she finally abandoned her husband and daughter and denied all obstacles to affirm the correctness of the future road that she resolutely woke him up. He finally saw her complex and energetic texture, and he might regret that he was not careful enough to fly with her-but maybe he wouldn't regret it if he didn't have the strength to compete with her?
1938, Vivien Leigh traveled across the ocean to the United States in order to meet Oliver who filmed Wuthering Heights in Hollywood. At this time, all the American people are arguing about one thing: who played Hao Sijia in the movie Gone with the Wind? Producer David Selzer Nick discussed all the female stars who auditioned for this role: katharine hepburn was considered as "lacking the charm pursued by another man for 20 years", greta garbo was considered as "not vivid and flexible in facial expression", Patty Davis was considered as "too evil in appearance", Lana Tanner was considered as "too delicate in face" and ........................................................................ made more and more Americans worry about Gone with the Wind. Oliver knew that Vivien Leigh really wanted to play Scarlett. On the evening of 12 and 10, David's younger brother Milon brought Vivien Leigh to David through Oliver's introduction. He said, "Hey, genius, I brought you your Hao Sijia!" " David saw Vivien Leigh's gray-blue eyes, which were gentle and cat-like, and he felt Vivien Leigh's repressed emotional strength under her noble appearance. Vivien Leigh has no cowardice or affectation. Her gentleness and loveliness are mixed with amazing disobedience. This extraordinary personality can make a woman different at any time. David was immediately fascinated by Vivian, and he finally found Scarlett for Gone with the Wind! 1940 gone with the wind won the Oscar for best film and Vivien Leigh won the best actress award. The New York Times commented: "Hao Sijia in Vivien Leigh is so beautiful and moving that people no longer ask actors to have any genius;" But she is so talented that people no longer ask actors to be so beautiful. "However, Vivien Leigh paid the price for Gone with the Wind, and she will never be rewarded-the world of mortals needed for filming made her infected with tuberculosis.
On August 28th this year, Oliver and Vivien Leigh divorced separately, and they got married two days later. Vivien Leigh knew that love is valuable when it can show the beauty and dignity of human nature. She believes that she and Oliver are so passionate that she forgets that my love can stand all tests. Twenty years later, when she found out that she was wrong, it was unbelievable.
She later said that if she had another life, she would become an actress and marry Oliver.
Vivien Leigh played Anna karenin after The Broken Bridge, The Hamilton Woman and Gone with the Wind. 195 1 year, Vivien Leigh won the best actress Oscar again for her performance in A Streetcar Named Desire, and then the best actress in Cannes Film Festival.
1944, Vivien Leigh lost her baby because she played Cleopatra in a thin skirt in the biting cold. Abortion may indirectly lead to the first mental disorder. One night at the dinner table, she suddenly attacked Oliver hysterically, and then she forgot all about the situation.
One detail is unforgettable. 1946, she showed signs of trance. She has lung disease and needs to be cultivated. Oliver worked hard, paid huge family expenses, and almost fell from the sky at the curtain call. From then on, she often dreamed that the plane crashed. Later, he took her to new york to perform, and she really fell off the top of the stage and tore her flesh. Instead, he was calm and thought it meant that the disaster had passed. The next day, they went to Boston to receive the prize. Vivien Leigh boarded the plane early on the way back. When he came back from the ceremony, the plane had already taken off. Oliver felt uneasy to learn that she was sitting alone. He limped to the grass and shouted at the plane about to take off on the runway. And for the first time, I lost control and stood there crying. "
I believe that he really loved her, even in the early days of her cold mental state. However, when she was 45 years old and just wanted his company like a child, he left her. To be fair, living with bipolar patients is no less painful than the patients themselves, but if their status is reversed, Wen Fei will never leave.
When I was young, I read Oliver's own words. At that time, he was 72 years old and was filming A Little Romance. The reporter mentioned that he left Vivien Leigh when she needed him most. He replied: "things can go to this point, just like life rafts can no longer be used." You knocked off the hand that grabbed it. You are safe from destruction. Don't be arrogant, because it will lead to both losses. A couple died instead of one. "
"Well, the problem is not just that I want to live. I'm afraid I'll kill her ... "
Regarding her misfortune, she once said sadly, "Why can't I get a decent disease?"
Vivien Leigh once wrote a 22-page letter to Oliver in extreme despair, telling her loneliness and thoughts. However, in June 1960, when Oliver asked for a divorce, Vivien Leigh's answer was: Of course, Mrs. Oliver will meet all his demands. Vivien Leigh knows that love means respecting others and oneself, and the most unbearable thing about love between men and women is hypocrisy and compulsion. She can't let Oliver go through the pain that happened between her and holman more than 20 years ago. This understanding made Vivien Leigh show amazing courage when her infatuated love died.
Seven years later, one night in July, Vivien Leigh died alone in his apartment. The day before her death, she sent two roses to her friends. She said, "If you plant them now, they will take root soon. The florist called the first tree Vivien Leigh; The other is you, called a superstar. " The friend said, "In other words, both roses are yours." Vivien Leigh's eyes were suddenly wet, and it took a long time to say, "All flowers should be well fertilized ..."
On the night of her death, all the theaters in London turned off the corner lights for five minutes to mourn the greatest actress in English history. ....
