Vivien Leigh's Extraordinary Life in Photos

British actress Vivien Leigh, considered one of the most beautiful women of all time, is best remembered for her classic, Oscar-winning roles in Gone With the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire. She was also an accomplished stage actress—holding major Shakespearean parts like Ophelia and Cleopatra, as well as turns in plays by Thornton Wilder and No?l Coward (she even won a Tony for Tovarich in 1963.) Leigh is often referenced alongside her longtime husband Laurence Olivier. The couple—who were both married to other people when they met—were the original "Burton and Taylor," and their glossy, public marriage was just as tumultuous. Leigh, who suffered from mental health issues throughout much of her life, had a few affairs during the marriage, and the couple ultimately divorced in 1960. Leigh passed away in 1967 at the age of 53 from tuberculosis. To coincide with the new Netflix series, Hollywood (in which Leigh plays a minor role), we're taking a look back at the photos from her extraordinary life and from the movies and plays that endear her to fans to this day.
