Museum buys Leigh archive
VIVIEN LEIGH’S archive – including letters sent to husband Laurence Olivier, seen above with the star, and diaries written until just before the Gone With The Wind star’s death – have been acquired by the V&A.
The archive has been bought by the London museum from the double Oscar-winning star’s grandchildren in the centenary year of her birth. As well as the British stage and screen actress’s annotated film and theatre scripts, it features correspondence from Winston Churchill, Noel Coward and Graham Greene.
