Yet another great talent who died way too young!

Vivien Leigh will always be my favourite actress and i believe she was the best. In her performances she evokes such a strong reaction from the viewer weather it be as the doomed, tragic Blanche or the fiesty, strong Scarlett (complete opposites!) the way she can become completely the character living and breathing so real is beyond compare.

Thanks for the beautiful Blanche tribute RocyMartinez.

Truly the best actress of all time. She will never be forgotten.

@jkfromcincty say that again!!!!!!

Kim hunter, Karl Malden and Marlon Brando were very good in this movie. It was Vivian who I could not take my eyes off of. She really gets me into her roles anyway like no other actress.

The quality of the acting by Leigh and Brando is outstanding.

@mazzarge That is a good book. Have you read the Vivien Leigh book by alexander walker? It's good as well:)

The best actress ever in my opinion.

I would be so happy if somebody would make a streetcar named desire video for Eminem's Love the Way You Lie.

Funfact: That sailor that talks to her was also one of the Beau Wilkes in Gone With The Wind. No one on the set believed him when he said he had worked with Vivien Leigh when he was little. It got backed to her they had a long chat in her dressing room to catch up. Of course, everyone believed him after that.

@VthatsME She also had Manic Depression. It's tragic but she gave great performances because of it. It's said that during Gone With The Wind's filming she went home extremely upset after a day of watching the dead soldier fall down the stairs (Whom her character just shot). And then this film also licked some wounds.
