Book Synopsis: THE BREATHTAKING STORY OF THE WORLD'S MOST ROMANTIC STAR
Consummate actress, exquisite beauty, passionate wife and mistress, the real life Vivien Leigh lived a life more tempestuous -- and more tormented -- than any role she ever played on screen. Though millions know her for her Oscar winning performances as Scarlett O'Hara and Blanche DuBois, few know the terrible price she paid for her success and happiness. Here, at last, is the flesh-and-blood woman as only a superbly gifted biographer could portray her -- the lady, the lover, the legend -- Vivien Leigh.
"Deserting her upper-class husband, she went off to live with Laurence Olivier. Theirs was the world's greatest romance... Vivien was a tragic heroine, chosen, blessed and abandoned by the gods. Obstinately throughout her life, she tried to control and defy her destiny, and to read her story is to be inspired with pity and terror."
