The Woman Behind Gone With the Wind’s Scarlett O’Hara: Vivien Leigh
Gone With the Wind is one of the most iconic (if not controversial) films in cinema, and Vivien Leigh was one half of its sweeping and epic romance. You might be amused to learn, however, that Leigh was not even American in real life, but a Brit! Her arrival to Los Angeles for the beginning of the film’s production soon turned into a prolonged series of hysterics, with Leigh being prone to throwing tantrums. Along with Laurence Olivier, her partner at the time, Leigh was convinced that this film would fail. Olivier would ironically lecture her on how important it was that she save her career following the predicted tanking of Gone With the Wind by delivering the performances of a lifetime in subsequent roles.
