| | Interview with Vivien Leigh |
 | | LEIGH Certainly I did, and it's very, very irritating, because people think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap, if you really want to look like the part you're playing--which isn't necessarily like you. |
 | | LEIGH For one thing, we hadn't one single penny between us, my husband and I. And they were going to do this, the Tennant management--Hugh Beaumont, who I think is the most marvelous manager in the whole world, and that includes our own management. |
 | | LEIGH Well, I saw him fifteen times in Hamlet and I thought, "That's the greatest actor in the world." And I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing. |
