Postcard Photograph signed: "Vivien Leigh". B/w, 3¼x5¼
overall, image 3x5 (one surface). Name imprinted at bottom margin. Vivien Leigh
(1913-1967) won Academy Awards for Best Actress as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone
With the Wind (1939) and as Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named
Desire (1951). Clark Gable was the obvious choice for Rhett Butler but,
even after the filming of Gone With the Wind had begun, no one had been
signed to play the part of Scarlett O'Hara. Leigh came to America in November
1938. On December 21st, she had a screen test for the Scarlett O'Hara role and
on December 25, 1938 she was told by producer George Cukor that she had secured
the part. On January 26, 1939, she began filming Gone With The Wind.
Leigh, who was married to British actor Laurence Olivier from 1940 until
their divorce in 1960, was only 53 when she succumbed to a severe bout of
tuberculosis in 1967. Slightly soiled. Lightly creased in lower right corner.
Otherwise, fine condition.
