Vivien Leigh, The Last Press Conference

[rawdria]

I saw Janis Stevens in Sacramento in a one-woman play, called Vivien. My! What a difference! I actually felt there is Vivien right in front of me .

[FanofBewitched]

I'm sorry but this is so bad. It's so bad but you can't help but watch it.

[baland2006]

This is some actress named Marcy-something playing V.Leigh.

[baland2006]

One thing i'm sure,this is NOT Viviene Leigh.

[MonsieurNonce]

what the FUCK. this woman needs such a slap

[suziescott2007]

UNACCEPTABLE! You should be ashamed!

[edia05]

Lame an shamefull! -:(

[SharonTateFan4ever]

What the hell is this

[FanofBewitched]

No, No! No! This is not what I thought it would be. Sorry. There will be no one better then the true and real Vivien Leigh!

[sds1828]

Complete garbage!

[cydonianman]

i couldn't stop the video because i was frozen from the horror of this performance. i couldn't escape. o_O

any of u ever hear a song on the radio that u absolutely can't stand, but for some reason u can't muster the strength to change the station? its like making eye contact with Medusa and u turn to stone.

[pdoll96]

what...is...this??  This is soo bad.

[Qbendanny]

Bravo!! Tallulah!!!

[lilmissnosey]

horrible!

[ivegotalongdong]

i heard she was a whore

[Bandtrip50]

@ivegotalongdong

Would you say that about Frank Sinatra and Warren Beatty?

[ducrozet74]

this horrid woman is an "actor" named mary somethingrather (she is in a short docu about viv on youtube) she is COMPLETELY INSANE, you should see her speak in real life, total nutcase, she is so annoying

[sameerasteward]

This is the most insulting thing I've ever seen. Vivien would be furious. I hope!

[shannon2041]

I have a seen Drag Queens pull a better performance out of the bag than this

[No1KCfan6]

who is this dumb twat?

[ouiouimoi]

OMG....I could only take the first 10 seconds of this terrible performance. I wish I could have that 10 seconds back.

[kevinastraw]

Get off her back - this is an ill woman!

[MarilynMonroe4evr]

WTF?! This is an insult to Vivien!!

[Kenandave]

Really, I think the lady could have pulled this off much better w/better direction. I would have told her 2study Vivian a little closer, her mannerisms, her relaxed disposition, & her soicial poise. She looks convincing, but her acting isnt. She also needed to LISTEN to Viven's voice & her rythem of inflections, that would have helped her make this more believable. She also should look at that part in GWTW where Vivian sings, and study voice tone there/ 4the singing part. Her voice is 2low4 Viv.

[01217435911]

I thinks Vivien Leigh was the most beautiful women ever and the most talented of actresses, this is an INSULT! Need i say more!

[sarah1981100]

Wtf is this crap?? For one, this person is no way as stunning or anywhere near in fact as Vivien. She cannot even act and she sounds terrible, idiot. She needs a good slap, R.I.P Vivien xxxxx

[maryalicecullen526]

I'm going to throw up! I'm very sure that Vivien Leigh didn't prance around her apartment! Vivien would strangle this woman had she been alive. I saw the person who plays this...Whatever this is....say on viv's documentary how she came up with this play. This woman is nuts. I will admit, vivien leigh wasn't the most sane person on earth, then again, who is completely sane? This woman is a disgrace. If viv were alive, she'd slap her across the face!

[Bluejeans0701]

How dare this play could insult such a legendary actress as Vivien Leigh? What was the playwright driving at by getting that actress on the stage to play Vivien? She would hit the ceiling were she alive and saw another actress to play who won two Oscars in her entire career. This is an amazing farce!

[trschaefer]

This is a total joke...!!

[maryalicecullen526]

This is a disgrace to Vivien Leigh as a person and an actress. The whole essence of Vivien Leigh's personality is ruined and this woman should be ashamed that she could even think she could even portray Vivien Leigh as she truly was! Shame on them!

[maryalicecullen526]

If you are going to portray one of the greatest actresses who ever lived, you should do it right! Until then...you shouldn't act!

[ntipjr]

That's the best Bette Davis imitation I have ever seen.

[trschaefer]

who is the terrible actress, and why is she trying to imitate Vivien Leigh in this terrible rendition of a monologue??

[alexiscole1982]

What is this ?? is this her main income very delusional i feel !!

If you are going to potray leigh at least try to act and sound like her?

[lapetiteombre]

Vivien was exquisite. This lady, not so much. What the heck?

[willy517]

this is appaling and makes me wanna puke.. this ugly manly bitch wanna play as viv??? how dare...

[JannerMaate]

Terribly rushed, Vivien spoke more slowly, far more softly and with a matchless charm.

[lancepat]

Bloody Awful! 

[beckylink]

Bottom line - this is absolutely TERRIBLE acting!!!! It's hardly worth a comment.

I'll leave it at this. Lady, you. cannot. act.

[Zva26]

This is disgusting, and a blatant disrespect to one of the most beautiful and distinguished actresses who ever lived.

[meucuzinho]

misleading text at it's finest! people, please, flag this crap!

[Catamaran88]

Someone please tell the woman who is trying without success to play VL that she horrible beyond words! She would be better suited to playing Eleanor Roosevelt, NOT Vivien Leigh! VL was a woman of grace, beauty, wit and charm. This pretender is clunky-looking and moves clumsily, and she doesn't look remotely like VL with that honker of a nose, huge lips, and that awful deep affected voice. What is this, some sort of joke? Please take this obscenity to Leigh's memory off now!

[willy517]

@Catamaran88 i agree 100%!!!!

[Sloopydrew]

What is this? Some sort of Fringe Festival thing?

[GoldenEraa]

Is this payment for letting an English girl play an American role in an American film geez revenge much? in the most sickest form.

[LostLenore1970]

Her voice, her attitude, her gestures...ALL WRONG!!! And as someone with bipolar, believe me, we don't act like we're having an orgasm while discussing our illness. Please take this off of here.

[Hachechulo]

This actress as well as the premise for this work stems from a deeply delusional place. 

[valerieking2010]

what are you idiots talking about . she played the role to the hilt how dare you idiots put her down. she was in her timw time a very good actress. give her a break

[LexiixoxRoxx]

I find it heartlessly offensive the way she's mocking Vivien's Bipolar Disorder. Not funny AT ALL.

[meemojaded]

This woman simply does not understand the character what so ever. The person.  The icon.

[SarahSauRc]

umm this was awful, im sorry but unless this is supposed to be completely different to vivien then you didnt please anyone

[Hunterunc]

This "actress" was married to Bill Shatner for a while I think and she fancied herself the perfect choice to play Leigh biography film. This is surely a a vanity production that she put on herself. She is nothing like the divine Vivien.

[ebeth0616]

that was painful to watch and listen to..

[LPeovic]

that was vulgar beyond words. no sweetness, therefore nothing like vivien......

[mickeyminnie01]

Horrible ! She doesn't looks like or sounds like Vivien Leigh at all !

Fortunately Vivien was much more elegant and delicate!

[mchunch]

I think that's a profanation.

[ariroxyoursoxoff]

Lauded for her beauty, Leigh felt that it sometimes prevented her from being taken seriously as an actress. However, ill health proved to be her greatest obstacle. For much of her adult life Leigh dealt with bipolar disorder.[She earned a reputation for being difficult to work with, and her career suffered periods of inactivity.

[glamfakir]

Sounds like ( and looks like?) Frankenfurter out of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Camp or what?

[sirkku29]

Vivien's voice was much sweeter and much more charming....it's all envy towards this very talented and refined actress

[01217435911]

This has to be a joke!!! Sounds nothing like her!! Makes her sound completley nuts! x

[Shanniquitie]

this is a drag act

[LexiixoxRoxx]

And Vivien never took her clothes off for other people! She was no whore! I anything, this woman could try Blanche DuBois. She seems crazy enough. Terrible impression.

[LexiixoxRoxx]

This woman is so unattractive! Vivien Leigh was the most beautiful woman in the world. It's insulting! And the voice iimpression is pitiful! Vivien had a delicate, very feminine, high pitched voice. This woman sounds so dull and unfeminine. Ick! And since when was Vivien so snobbish? And Vivien's bi polar disorder wasn't killing her, it was tuberculosis. My goodness this is so poorly exaggerated! And Vivien never felt like "amoeba at the bottom of the sea" either.

[xDanotchka]

I don't see Vivien Leigh at all here. The script is laughable and the lady playing "Vivien" is really quite atrocious, it's ashame Vivien's name was ever associated with this thing.

[olgaviolino1]

This is not the famous Vivian!

[lushesx3]

I don't think Vivien ever felt like an amoeba at the bottom of the sea, nor would she have ever been so tacky, not even during a manic episode.

[xabibilbo06]

That´s a fake...she is not Vivien Leigh but the american actress Marcy Lafferty.

[paulik21]

this bitch is not vivien!

[mellymausi24]

Vivien Leigh was a great Woman.I Like Gone with the Wind.That is my Favourite Film ever!!

[GoldenEraa]

is this all this is her on the stage rambling and her bad acting for like 2 hours? not even half a star for this play this is so over acting Vivien so was not like this.

[NonInflatable]

This is nothing like Vivien Leigh - she doesn't sound like her (Vivien didn't have a big, butch voice) or look like her.

It's witless, inaccurate, unfunny and buttock-closingly embarrasssing.

The burning of Atlarrnta? Get away with your bother.....

[GoldenEraa]

i know Vivien had a sweet lovely british accent didnt she?

[TomBarristerX]

Is this supposed to be funny?

Failed.

[AmericanEvita]

Well this actress (some post said her name is Marcy) is actually good....it does seem a tad affected and it's a little on the campy side (her voice is too loud). like a bad one-man/woman show but it is not that bad...she had many good lines and I liked hearing her...its a "look back" at how Vivien became Scarlett..but it's an older Vivien doing the monologue...

[01217435911]

EEK!!!!!!!

[zwunduke]

WTF?!?!?! HAHAHAHA thats just tuuuuuurible

[Koishii57]

what in the hell... WHAT IN THE HELL!? This chick could Never EVER pull Vivien Leigh!! This is tragic acting... Horrible

[jpotokar]

this is awful... her accent is off and sounds so forced and acted... good god, vivien would be laughing at this ..

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Vivien is rolling in her grace at this atrocious attempt! lol

[LexiixoxRoxx]

I meant *grave

[jennchez]

Vivien is rolling in her grave!!

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Lol Ijust posted that! I didn't realize you had too ;)

[LexiixoxRoxx]

@jennchez and probably usng expletives! ;)

[MultiFilmbuff]

this broad is annoying

Vivien my ass

[donnerbrandpear]

Ugh this is embarrassing to watch. She should have kept her pretend game of being Vivien Leigh private.

[lapetiteombre]

@donnerbrandpear Lol. well said.

[Miyuuko]

Gosh, i thought this is the real Vivien's last press conference when i clicked on the link......=.=

it's kind of ghastly by the way....i tried to watch the whole thing....i don't want to be rude though...but this portrayal of Viv makes me nauseous

[starknight2006]

Marcey is an excellent actress. You all talk about her voice being lower than Viviens. You are all wrong. This play takes place later in Viviens life 50+. By that time Viviens voice was gravely because of years of smoking. Look at her 2 last films..esp Ship of fools. Marcy was spot on

[semabkhan]

fuck off women

[dutchesschelsy54]

FUck who did it!!!!

[crematlv16]

idiot

[tonecolor]

I wish shed Go with the Wind!!!Shes an insult to Vivien!!

[SarahJareth]

Vivien's voice is much higher, she is an insult to Vivien indeed. Her voice is waaaaay too deep and pompus for Vivien Leigh. Is she a celebrity imperonator or something?

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Crap, your comment almost made me pee! And I do so wish she would go with the wind. Far far away! lol

[thesilentforce2008]

yep, this is Marcy Lafferty...and she suck SO MUCH. i'm dissapointed. she shouldn't have done this.

[janaluvsdaisies]

i love her, but hate this!!! horrible!!!!

[ginafaloola]

god. the horrible accent, the pretentious air of self-importance ... vivien was known to others for her tinkling charm, grace, genuineness and elegance ... this performance is so far from how vivien really carried herself it's insulting.

[miladyfencer]

@ginafaloola these people are really stupid. Miss Leigh, after a lengthy bout with tuberculosis (which she contracted in 1945) died in 1968. One of the final photographs of taken of Miss Leigh shows how ravaged she was by her illness.

You are spot on...this is an insult to this great actresses memory.

[alvastarr1]

Is this Marcy Lafferty?

[4262009AP]

Yes

[cecefranki]

What is with the horrendous vocal - this dude(?) should lay off the steroids

Vivien's voice was at least an octive higher

[asteppe1]

Is this a Dude?

Vivien Leigh was a legend; this facade is BULLSHIT!

[cecefranki]

Agree 100%

They should rename this crap, "Betty Davis drag-queen impersonates Vivien Leigh, The Last Press Conference".

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Lol so true. I hate those drag queen impersonators of Bette Davis too. Bette was such a great actress!

[asteppe1]

This Video sucks big time.

[paganmoon44]

This is ATROCIOUS!!! Vivien Leigh may have had an illness, but she also had intelligence, dignity, unparalleled talent and a wondrous spirit. This "portrayal" is disrespectful and appalling.

[rkau8671]

um, is she portraying Vivien Leigh because if she is then she is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

[Dragonrdh]

This is dreadful!

[moonflower0924]

what a joke.

[kellymich]

Dreadful actress...pretentious... she didn't even approximate Vivien's talent or Vivien's soul which was one of tremendous depth.

[scarlettthedestroyer]

I really dislike this...she doesn't sound a thing like Vivien.

And she makes Vivien out to be a haughty bitch...which she wasn't in the least.

[LRay]

Who is the actress portraying Leigh here?

[zamolxis7]

Who is the author of this???

[moonflower0924]

ITA ecbush lol

[Powerpufflady]

Wooow!! Gracias por este video Mely!! Increible, siempre quise ver un poquito de esta obra!

Gracias!!

Besis. Ale =)

[ecbush]

She could've done a lot better with Vivien's voice. It sounded more like Joan Crawford. Ooo. Vivien wouldn't have liked that!

[divinafan2]

actually vivien didn't mind joan all that much. it was bette davis she couldn't stand.

[4MaryAnna]

jealous,I bet.Bette Davis was a GREAT actress!

She probably didn't think of Joan as much competition.

Mary-

[chislehurstbat]

I agree does not sound like her at all.  Disappointing.

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Vivien and Joan got along. It was Bette whom she disliked. I have a picture of Vivien, Larry, and Joan having dinner lol. I don't think this woman sounds like Joan at all! Joan had a nice voice. This lady sounds like a man.
