On one occasion she brought me a couple of rose bushes. It was a cold day in early March. She said, "If you put them in now you'll just make it; this one is called after me - rather pretty, and very sweet of them - and this one," indicating a little bunch of thorns in a plastic bag, "this one is new, I ordered it specially for you, it's called 'Super Star'." And I said, rather lightly, "Then they are both called after you, how lovely." Viv was quite still for a moment, and then her eyes rimmed with tears and she hugged me like a little bear. And we just stood there in the cold garden among the silent roses until she had composed herself. When she was ill, this last time, she sent me a card with a lady wearing a huge cartwheel hat covered in cherries and lace, an old theatrical postcard, I think it was of Lily Elsie, and she wrote, "This is what I wear in bed to receive my guests and visitors. Don't wait until I'm stronger, I'm simply splendid; do, do come in sometime next week." But there wasn't a next week. - Dirk Bogarde

Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier in Romeo and Juliet, which ran for a month at the 51st St. Theater (later the Mark Hellinger; now a church) in 1940. Dame May Whitty played Juliet's nurse, Edmond O'Brien was Mercutio, and Cornell Wilde was Tybalt. Olivier produced, directed, and (lavishly) designed the production in addition to starring in it. The critics were not kind: "Much scenery: no play," said Brooks Atkinson in the Times. Time magazine said that Leigh “looked like a poem but had no sense of poetry.” Leigh and Olivier were several years into a passionate romance that would, a few months after the play, result in marriage.

Once I went into her dressing room and found her in tears. But Vivien in tears was not like anyone I knew; no sniffles, no swollen eyes. She simply sat at her table, in her beautiful scarlet costume, and diamond tears rolled down her cheeks. - CLAIRE BLOOM, Leaving a Doll's House
