I love this photo so much ❤️ Caption on verso

I love this photo so much ❤️ Caption on verso reads: "Vivien Leigh, who played Scarlett O'Hara in GWTW, and her husband, Laurence Olivier, are shown serving tea in a canteen in London. This particular canteen is located near the Scala Theatre, where Olivier and Miss Leigh appeared in a performance for the Tommies." March 22, 1941. 🌟 // #kendrabeancollection

I’ve had this snapshot of the Oliviers in #kendrabeancollection for several years but have no information as to exactly when and where it was taken. Unfortunately, there’s no identifying info on the back. My best guess is late-1940s, possibly taken in Australia. Vivien Leigh fandom hive mind, I could use your help! If you have any ideas, please drop them in the comments! 🌟

Two Laurence Olivier hand-signed notes on thick cardstock from @smythson stationers in Bond Street. These cards, from the late-1960s, were given to stage management at the @nationaltheatre (then operating out of the Old Vic). I’m sure the “little people” behind the scenes appreciated being acknowledged by the man in charge 🌟 // From #kendrabeancollection

This is the other rare behind-the-scenes photo from HAMLET (1948) that I received recently. Larry Olivier chats with the film’s producer, J. Arthur Rank, on set at Denham Studios. The Rank Organisation produced some of the best British films of the 1940s, including many Powell and Pressburger films such as THE RED SHOES, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, and BLACK NARCISSUS. Rank films were made at both Denham Studios and Pinewood in nearby Iver Heath (the latter is still in operation today), and screened in Odeon cinemas. Much like Hollywood film studios, the Rank Organisation trained stars from a young age by enrolling them in The Company of Youth, better known to attendees as the Rank Charm School. Notable alumni included Claire Bloom, Diana Dors, Kay Kendall, Joan Collins, Petula Clark, and Olivier’s Ophelia in HAMLET, Jean Simmons. 🌟

I ❤️ behind-the-scenes photos. It’s always fun to see stars on set. Recently I purchased two great images from the set of my favorite Olivier Shakespeare film, HAMLET (1948). This one shows composer and close friend of the Oliviers, William Walton, lighting Larry’s cigarette during a tea break at Denham Studios. 🌟Sometimes people ask whether Larry smoked and the answer is yes.

Reflecting on filming 21 DAYS TOGETHER in 1937, director Basil Dean referred to Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh as “two joyful miscreants.” “Their joyous awareness of each other took the form of much laughter and giggling on set.” 🌟
