Vivien Leigh by Claire Bloom

Vivien Leigh by Claire Bloom

Timed for the 100th birthday of Vivien Leigh and the 75th anniversary of her landmark film Gone With the Wind. Featuring rare photos and informed by previously untapped documents from the Laurence Olivier Archives, Vivien Leigh: An Intimate Portrait sheds new insight on the woman whose onscreen performances and dramatic life story can inspire women today.

"A worthy tribute to an eternally fascinating star" --Kirkus Reviews "More than an organized compilation of facts, Vivien Leigh: An Intimate Portrait takes its reader wholly into the past and showcases Vivien's life in an explosion of colorful detail. There's a quality to the book that could be described as atmospheric, raising the bar not only for how illustrated biographies are presented, but also for how they make us feel. In the case of An Intimate Portrait, a gorgeous and thoughtfully-rendered letter of admiration and affection, the reader can expect to find themselves fully immersed in Vivien's stratosphere, a passenger in the life of a tremendous woman who left an unprecedented mark on theater, cinema, and the world at large." --LiteraryInklings.com "a stunning and thoroughly researched tribute." --Rage Monthly "Classic movie-lovers will be thrilled by Kendra Bean's lavishly illustrated and sympathetic biography." --Bay Area Reporter
