I don't know her but good luck to her.

Damn Vivien Leigh was beautiful.

Also didn't know that about her life. I like biopics when I didn't know much about the person, but I always google afterwards to see how sanitised it was.

She’s the mom in Spy Kids
To me she’ll always be the girl in Bon Jovi’s “Always” video with Keri Russel

She was also in that mess that was the Watchman movie

[xdecadentx]

Ah yes, I have seen her in Watchmen. Is she in the Always video? Damn that's a throwback.

She’s the girl that gets cheated on with Keri Russel, and then fucks a painter that does her portrait

Huh kinda curious about it.

I’ve read quotes from Laurence Olivier about how it was when she would suffer episodes. She’d have maniac episodes and then have no memory of it.

....I don't see a resemblance but I guess it's hard to cast a dead ringer, Vivien's beauty was unreal

There's an actress in two early X Files episodes, Gabrielle Miller, who really reminds me of Vivien Leigh but I just googled her and the resemblance has lessened over time. But in any case, if you have to choose, talent is better than looks for a biopic.

Just here to say that the red dress from Gone With The Wind is one of my favorite costumes of all time, it’s stunning on its own but also a perfect example of how great costuming can show us more about the character and the story that’s being told. I know the movie has plenty of faults but honestly every costume in that movie is amazing lol I love them so much

Yes, agreed! Little 13-year-old bb me was obsessed with this movie (this was late 90s so all of the movie's faults went completely over my head). I found a photo of this scene in a magazine and hung it on a wall, I loved her look here so much.
