No I don't. I don't think I'm "that" old, lol. But my late Libra mother in law born 10/7/1919 was a huge fan.
BTW, your tapestries are truly lovely! You have good taste.
This was the scandalous breakdown she had: (I heard it caused her divorce)
The Double Life of Vivien Leigh - Vivien Leigh
Tops MagazineFebruary, 1955 The London audience that jammed the theatre to see Vivien Leigh enact the role of Blanche in the sizzling play version of A Streetcar Named Desire will never forget her starkly realistic portrayal of a sex-ridden woman.

Ah yes, it would be good to read up more about her. I had already read the Wiki one you and posted and also another one that said her 1st husband had been really good at handling her Bipolar. But she fell madly in love with Olivier and he had to deal with it. He wasn’t as good so the 1st husband would still help out on the worst occasions (sorry I can’t remember the names).
I even think her 1st husband helped out the 3rd husband.
She seemed addicted to Olivier. She was known to turn down roles and suddenly have interest in other roles, depending if Olivier would be her co-star or not.
That’s all I know though.
It’s sad she had Bipolar and even sadder it wasn’t as known as it is now how to treat it.
I’ll read about her big breakdown.
Oh, Sadly, those are not my tapestries, but an example of each of the tapestries that were made by Chatham in 1995/7.
I have only just recently came across them and will now have a hobby to collect them all eventually.
Oh and sorry, I wasn’t sure what age you were and was just enquiring lol.
