	The Play - Vivien Leigh: The Last Press Conference
		Marcy Lafferty wrote, directed and starred in "Vivien: The Movie, The Marriage, The Madness" which was the impetus for the current stage production, a more comprehensive study of Vivien Leigh.
		Driven by the duel demons, manic depression and tuberculosis, Leigh believed herself to be defined by three roles — Scarlett O'Hara from 'Gone With the Wind,' Blanche Dubois from 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' and Lady O, the wife of Olivier — and was tortured by them.
		Cognizant to her eternal shame of the terror she became in the grip of a manic bout, the elegant lady became a cabbie's whore; the delicate beauty, a waterfront bawd; the angel that floated on a pink cloud kissing the lives of her friends attacked them with a viciousness and cruelty- she rallied on.

	Vivien Leigh \| Biography (1913-1967)
		Vivien Leigh's rise to stardom can be traced back to December 10,1938, when Atlanta - simulated by a group of old sets - was going up in flames a second time.
		That, at least, is the story of how Vivien Leigh came to be cast in the role coveted or claimed at one time or another by every rising, established or waning female star in Hollywood.
		Watching Vivien Leigh glow in inferior pictures like The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone (1961) or Ship of Fools (1965), there is the strong impression of a trained performer drawing perilously close to lived experience; in The Deep Blue Sea (1955), she is almost too genuine for comfort playing a woman caught between suicide attempts.
