Good biography of Vivien Leigh that uses personal letters and diaries as some of the source material. The author did a great job of describing Leigh's life and there were several aspects that had not been explored in detail in previous books such as that she did have a fulfilling life after Olivier left her. However, the book did have some errors. On page 78, Gone With the Wind Technical Advisor Will Price was NOT Leigh's schoolmate's Maureen O'Sullivan's first husband but was Maureen show more O'Hara's second husband; on page 114 actor Claude Rains was spelled as Claud Rains, on page 171 Wilfrid Hyde-White's name was spelled as Wilfrid Hyde-Whyte but then on page 181 it was spelled correctly as Wilfrid Hyde-White. The photos included were great but I wish they had been larger as in group shots it is hard to discern the faces. Otherwise, it is well worth reading for any fan of Vivien Leigh. show less

I can't get rid of the not in my library which I added. I've been trying over and over again
