Vivien Leigh (/liː/ LEE; born Vivian Mary Hartley; 5 November 1913 – 8 July 1967),
styled as Lady Olivier after 1947, was a British actress.
She won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, for her performances as
Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and Blanche DuBois in the film version
of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a role she had also played on stage in London's
West End in 1949.
She also won a Tony Award for her work in the Broadway musical version of Tovarich
(1963).
Although her career had periods of inactivity, in 1999 the American Film Institute
ranked Leigh as the 16th-greatest female movie star of classic Hollywood.
She often said:
I'm not a moviestar. I'm an actress. Because actresses can take on a variety of roles.

After completing her drama school education, Leigh appeared in small
roles in four films in 1935 and progressed to the role of heroine in Fire.
Over England (1937). Lauded for her beauty, Leigh felt that her physical
attributes sometimes prevented her from being taken seriously as an
actress.
Despite her fame as a screen actress, Leigh was primarily a stage performer.
During her 30-year career, she played roles ranging from the heroines of Noël
Coward and George Bernard Shaw comedies to classic Shakespearean characters
such as Ophelia, Cleopatra, Juliet and Lady Macbeth. Later in life, she performed
as a character actress in a few films.
At the time, the public strongly identified Leigh with her second husband, Laurence
Olivier, who was her spouse from 1940 to 1960.
Leigh and Olivier starred together in many stage productions, with Olivier often directing,
and in three films.
She earned a reputation for being difficult to work with and for much of her life, she had
bipolar disorder, as well as recurrent bouts of chronic tuberculosis, which was first
diagnosed in the mid-1940s and ultimately led to her death at age 53.
