VivienMerchant (1929-1983) was a British actress, born Ada Thompson.
Merchant went public about her distress, and famously told the press that Pinter had not taken many clothes with him; but, she quipped, if he didn't have any shoes to wear, he could always borrow Fraser's: "she has very big feet, you know".
However, Merchant never got over the dissolution of her marriage, and her premature death was brought about by alcoholism.
Despite her talent and many film appearances - including Alfie (1966) and Frenzy (1972), she is probably best known as the first wife of the playwright, Harold Pinter, whom she married in 1956.
However, Merchant never got over the dissolution of her marriage, which finally came about in 1980, and her premature death at the age of 54 on October 3, 1983 was brought about by acute alcoholism.

Although his character is indeed a cad, he is also vulnerable and capable of feelings (The scene in which VivienMerchant gets an abortion and Alfie is mortified).
Although he states from the start that the baby is not his problem, he shows more affection to the child than he does to all his women combined.
VivienMerchant is excellent as Lily, the drab, lonely, married woman whom Alfie seduces and impregnates.
ipedia.com: Alfie Article(Site not responding. Last check: )
Alfie is a 1966 film which tells the story of a young man whose life consists of running from woman to woman, until several life reversals make him rethink his lifestyle.
It star Michael Caine, Shelley Winters, Millicent Martin, VivienMerchant, Jane Asher and Denholm Elliott.
It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Michael Caine), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (VivienMerchant), Best Music, Song (Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Alfie), Best Picture and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium.
Alfie stars Michael Caine as the self-centered, sexist, "love 'em and leave 'em" Alfie Elkins, who spreads his affections around London with little regard for caution or consequence.
After casually "having it off" with a number of women, he impregnates Lily (VivienMerchant), a married woman, forcing her to have an illegal abortion, and leading Alfie to reevaluate his own life.
Lewis Gilbert's 1966 film was Recommended for Mature Audiences at the time of its release, and it deals with a number of adult subjects tastefully and humorously, but without pulling its punches.
It's hard to imagine now that anyone else could have been Alfie, yet it was a role Michael Caine almost didn't play, as Paramount executives originally wanted Caine's former flatmate, Terence Stamp, who was the Broadway lead in the original play.
The women in Caine's life - and there are many - don't always fare so well, but are all very much a product of the time.
Alfie won a Golden Globe for Best English-Language Foreign Film and a Special Jury Prize at Cannes, while VivienMerchant received the BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer.
