VIVIEN LEIGH
Vivien Leigh sings a pencil sketch of herself in blue ink.
Sketch signed: "Vivien Leigh", 6½x9. Pencil profile by unknown
artist. 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 creased. Lightly
soiled. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso (no show through). Fine
condition.
