“I think Vivien was a rare phenomenon. She is certainly one of the most remarkable women I have ever known. In the days of matriarchy she would have been one of those Cretan goddess-priestesses, capable of making men great and equally capable of destroying them. She could have been the model for the little faience snake-goddess which was found at Knossos and is now in the museum at Candia—fascinating, alluring, compelling, and potentially dangerous, not only to others but to herself.” - Anthony Quayle
People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can’t possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap, if you really want to look like the part you’re playing, which isn’t necessarily like you - Vivien Leigh
Happy birthday Vivian Mary Hartley aka Vivien Leigh! (5 November, 1913 – 8 July, 1967)
