Sean
(UK) on Vivien Leigh
"Love the site. Think it's fab. However, the ultimate diva, my favourite,
isn't on it. Vivien Leigh! She deserves a page on this site, don't you
agree? Keep up the good work." Rachel
(Hungary) on
Vivien Leigh
"Maybe because she was the first great woman in Hollywood." Adam
(UK) on
Vivien Leigh
"You simply must create a Vivien Leigh page, she was the star of possibly
the greatest Hollywood film of all time, Gone with the Wind, in which
she played such a fabulous diva! Her stunning looks, her sultry and
spoilt attitude make her worthy of a diva title. Her complicated, tragic
and at the same time, fabulous life make her a true diva, you cannot have
the likes of Julia Roberts on and not Vivien Leigh! She is a Hollywood
legend as much as Katherine, Bette and Joan, she died young but still
made her mark, she was wonderful and stunningly beautiful. In a recent
poll I located, she was named the second sexiest Hollywood classic
actress behind Ava Gardner. Please create a Vivien Leigh page!" Diane
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"... because she was not only a wonderful and tremendous actress-- Vivien
was sensitive, extremely sexy, and extremely beautiful! Please make her
one of your divas!" Andrea
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"She's awesome. Her first movie was her best." Lina
(Brazil) on
Vivien Leigh
"She is very beautiful. I love the movie Gone with the wind." Aleks
(Polandl) on
Vivien Leigh
"I haven't seen a better actress. She was so beautiful. In our times we
need such women. Vivien Leigh, where are you?" Jeff
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"... because she was the most beautiful, the most talented, and the most
mentally ill of them all and she didn't care." Mia
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"She had such spirit and class. Street Car and GWTW are two of the
greatest movies of the century." Anamaria
(Argentina) on Vivien Leigh
"Your site is great! Congratulations! But what about Vivian Leigh?" Haven
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"I love your site. I have been a visitor many times. One problem I have
is that Vivien Leigh is not listed as a diva! Scarlett O'Hara, Blanche
Dubois, Mrs. Stone... those roles combined with her real life issues
should guarantee a spot. Please consider. By the way, I love your
section on Jackie Kennedy." Rosa
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"Talent, beauty, and tragedy. What more could one want?" Timothy
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"That face. The haunted eyes. Vivian Leigh was always beautiful, right up
to the end. Her later photos, with the tragic eyes, always make me want
to cry. Not only that, she could act!" Mark
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"The most durable performances ever came from her!" Rene
(USA)
on Vivien Leigh
"She is the ultimate! Not only could she flaunt, and use her beauty
to get men's attention, but she could also light up a room with her wit
and talent. To get the role of Blanche DuBois, the greatest woman's part
ever written, is an honor of talent and skill. She also did a
fabulous job of humanizing Scarlett O'Hara, for the silver screen, which
has made her face and name immortal." Celeste
Ann
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"Back then they didn't have the help for mental illness that they have
now, but she kept going as long as she could and she didn't let it stop
her from giving superb performances." Vivien
(Ireland) on
Vivien Leigh
"... because she was so beautiful and one of the best actresses (and most
famously known) for her bitchy role as Scarlett O'Hara. She also died a
tragic death (she went insane)." Sheine
(Brazil) on
Vivien Leigh
"Her stunning beauty was not a handicap in her acting. People may say
that she overacts, but that's the beauty of acting. She just rocks!" Holly
(Hungary) on
Vivien Leigh
"I loved her in GWTW, she's so gifted and beautiful!" Louise
(Brazil) on
Vivien Leigh
"I cannot explain it... there's something magical about her." Alex
(Hungary) on Vivien Leigh
"She's the best actress that Hollywood has ever seen!" Aniko
(Hungary) on
Vivien Leigh
"She's the most beautiful, talented, wonderful woman that ever lived, and
she starred in great films. All her performances are great." Jolene
(Hong Kong) on
Vivien Leigh
"No one will ever forget the fire and life she has brought to the screen.
Anyone who has watched will agree instantly. Unlike other stars who you
have to watch carefully and analyse before you make up your mind whether
they're natural." Cee
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"I think she was a great actress that just loved her man to much and let
her own career appear beneath his, for his ego - in the end, she lost
him anyway and died alone without a career or her Sir." Leonard
(Australia) on
Vivien Leigh
"I loved the book Gone With the Wind and so Vivien Leigh is my favorite
diva because of her performance in that movie. No one could have played
it better. She epitomized the Scarlett O'Hara in the book to me very
well. Outside of that her determination in attaining the role for that
movie and in life period to get what she wants at all costs reminds me
of myself and her flawless beauty is also to be noted. She is above all
other divas in the beauty category but on the same level with Halle
Berry and Elizabeth Taylor." Sandra
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"I love her pose and beauty. I respect who she was on this earth. Her
talent is somewhat unattainable by any other actress. She had the talent
to portray a southern belle with a perfect southern accent in Gone With
the Wind. An English actress portraying a southern belle and making that
Scarlet O'Hara a believable person. I can't say anymore about that
wonderful actress." Schelli
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"Talented, beautiful." Jacquelin
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"Vivien Leigh had a way of capturing your attention and keeping it. There
is no one that competes with her in looks or acting. She's one of the
most amazing actresses I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever
seen an actress as good as her." Natalie
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"Vivien and Joan Crawford because these two actresses are the epitome of
The Golden Age of Hollywood." Tia
(Canada) on
Vivien Leigh
"She's beautiful, charming, and a great actress. She was amazing in GWTW." Ivan-Anthony
(UK) on Vivien Leigh
"A rare beauty that had real talent, what more can I say." Luis
Felipe (Brazil (USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"She was amazing, talented and so beautiful. A life so interesting. The
only Scarlett O'Hara (perfect) and a great Blanche DuBois. A great Diva,
the biggest..." Alba
(Spain) on
Vivien Leigh
"I like Nicole Kidman, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, but I choose
Vivien Leigh because I think she was an amazing actress that will live
on forever." Marija
(Croatia) on
Vivien Leigh
"She is my favourite actress because she's excellent. Her portrayals are
so strong and lifelike. She is very charismatic." Bill
(Australia) on
Vivien Leigh
"Vivien Leigh is my favourite diva because of her unfailing grace and
dignity, her unearthly beauty, her rich speaking voice and talent and
dedication as an actress, but above all her ability to maintain her
status as a Lady despite the increasing difficulty and pressure of her
life." Nataliya
(Germany) on
Vivien Leigh
"Talent + Beauty = Greatness" Irina
(Germany) on
Vivien Leigh
"The most beautiful woman that ever lived." Claire
(UK) on
Vivien Leigh
"Vivien Leigh is my all-time- favourite actress and star and, to me, she
personifies beauty, style and determination. Gone With the Wind is
the greatest movie of all time and Vivien gave an amazing performance as
Scarlett. In other films too, Vivien Leigh was captivating and her
romance with Olivier only adds to her legend." Brandon
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"... because she is the best actress I ever saw. Not to mention very hot!" Danielle
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"... because she has that saucy, icy glow around her that makes her stronger
than any other actress." Kate
(Canada) on
Vivien Leigh
"She is both an highly accomplished actress but is also a very dedicated
actress to the art of acting, to the extending the extend of dedicating
her life to the theatre. I give utmost respect to someone who gives
their life to something that they are passionate about. On the day of
her death, theatres in all over England dimmed their lights for thirty
seconds. The stage is over dimmed because of the departure of a great
star." Tony
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"One of the most brilliant and underrated (on stage) actresses of the
century. Her film performances are without peer. Her dedication to her
acting craft matches any other actress (and surpasses many)." Maribel
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"A terrific actress made unforgettable by her role in GWTW." Kris
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"Beauty, grace, turbulent hardships, an enduring love she always believed
in-- and a role that epitomized a diva-- she entered the world of being
a true diva accomplishing all these. She had a greatly honed acting
talent and a truly unforgettable face and life-- if only more knew what
her real name was." Lisa
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"She epitomizes a diva-- a stunning, eloquent actress who dealt with
emotional blows and turbulent hardships. Each performance I've seen is
powerful, emotional, fulfilling to watch and to analyze. She deserves
more recognition than she receives." Julie
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"Beautiful, talented, and extremely interesting." Emily
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"The charm that Vivien Leigh had is still empowering millions of young
teenage girls. You don't know how many times I have told someone "I
will think about it tomorrow." And they have smiled and said
Gone With The Wind. I feel that she is a longstanding star in our world." Betty
(USA) on
Vivien Leigh
"Gone With The Wind! No other would have been right." Ellen
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"She was awesome in Gone With The Wind." Michelle
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"No other actress has been able to capture the same beauty and art on
film. While her life was short, each film part she played was powerful
and intense. She truly embodied her characters, and was the best actress
of her time. Scarlett O'Hara and Blanche DuBois deserve honor among the
top 10, and it's a shame that this organization has not recognized such
pure talent." Katie
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"She's Vivien! The one and only Scarlet O'Hara. No one else could have
captured Scarlet the way she did." Erin
(Canada) on Vivien Leigh
"Her legacy will live forever, regardless of her many character flaws." Michael
(USA) on Vivien Leigh
"I can't believe she wasn't here earlier! But Vivien Leigh is the true
Hollywood legend and diva. She landed two legendary parts: Scarlett O'Hara and
Blanche DuBois. She had glamour, beauty and guts. She is the true diva!" Guylaine
(Canada) on
Vivien Leigh
"... parce que j'ai aimé son rôle dans le film Autant en emporte le
vent. C'était une actrice extraordinaire et très professionnelle."
