Happy Birthday Vivian Mary Hartley aka Vivien Leigh // 5 November 1913 – 8 July 1967 //
“I cannot let well enough alone. I get restless. I have to be doing different things. I am a very impatient person and headstrong. If I’ve made up my mind to do something, I can’t be persuaded out of it.”

HAPPY 75TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, VIVIEN LEIGH & LAURENCE OLIVIER – (31st August 1940 – 1960)

‘If we loved each other only with our bodies I suppose it would be alright. I love you with much more than that. I love you with, oh everything somehow, with a special kind of soul.’ – a love letter from Laurence Olivier to Vivien Leigh

‘You are in my thoughts and weighing so heavily in my heart all the time. I am only existing until I see you again and only just managing to do that.’ – a love letter from Vivien Leigh to Laurence Olivier

“Apart from her looks, which were magical, she possessed beautiful poise; her neck looked almost too fragile to support her head and bore it with a sense of surprise, and something of the pride of the master juggler who can make a brilliant maneuver appear almost accidental. She also had something else: an attraction of the most perturbing nature I had ever encounter. It may have been the strangely touching spark of dignity in her that enslaved the ardent legion of her admirers.” – Laurence Olivier

“My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don’t pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions.”

Happy birthday Vivian Mary Hartley aka Vivien Leigh! (November 5th, 1913 – July 8th, 1967)
