Book Description
Just to say the name Vivien Leigh invokes two quick images to anyone familiar with motion pictures--Scarlett O'Hara and Blanche DuBois. Yet, Vivien Leigh did not want to be remembered wholly for her screen performances in Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire. This book is comprised of a biography describing Leigh's life, work, and travels. A chronology contains the important events and dates in her life and the people who were part of it. The stage appearances list cast and crew credits as well as the theater's in which a play was presented and the dates. The filmography, like the stage appearances, provides cast and crew credits and synopses. Molt lists the radio and television appearances, as well as the awards and nominations. Annotated discography and annotated bibliography follow. Assembled separately, posthumous tributes are the firsthand words and memories obtained by the author from those who knew Leigh or are knowledgeable about her. An index completes this excellent addition to Greenwood's Bio-Bibliography in the Performing Arts series.

Book Description
Vivien Leigh: tough, tender, talented beautiful, irresistible, willful - a dynamic collection of contradictions with a face of angelic perfection. Like Garbo and Dietrich, she became a legend for her beauty in her own lifetime; like Davis and Crawford, she was a consummate actress. Born in Darjeeling, India (Nov. 5, 1913), she was christened Vivian Mary Hartley. After a leading role on the London stage in the 1930s, she was placed under contract by Alexander Korda and cast opposite the young Laurence Olivier in "Fire Over England" (1937). Three years later she became Mrs. Olivier and was awarded both the Best Actress Oscar and the New York Film Critics Award for her portrayal of Scarlett O'hara in "Gone With the Wind" (1939). Now, with Dover's newest paper-doll collection, you can recapture a part of shimmering magic that marked Miss Leigh's entire career. A Vivien Leigh figure and 28 costumes from a dozen films, all in full color on heavy stock, provide an incredibly life-like rendering of the enchanting actress. These authentic brilliantly colored, ready-to-cut costumes by noted fashion illustrator Tom Tierney recall Vivien in: "Sidewalks of LondonFire Over EnglandCeasar and CleopatraA Streetcar Named DesireThe Deep Blue SeaA Yank at OxfordGone with the WindThat Hamilton WomanAnna KareninaThe Roman Spring of Mrs. StoneShip of Fools"

Book Description
In this entertaining and informative book, Helen Taylor is the first to seek reasons for Gone With the Wind's success among viewers and readers. The author asked fans to relate their experiences with the work, to explain their fascination with the story, and describe its impact. She not only explains the enduring appeal of the work, but also identifies different kinds of response at particular historical moments (especially World War II) and through the past five decades by women of different classes, races, and generations. The result is a book that is sophisticated, accessible, and revealing. Scarlett's Women is a book for every fan, and for all students of film and popular culture.
