The Oliviers in Shakespeare’s TITUS ANDRONICUS a

The Oliviers in Shakespeare’s TITUS ANDRONICUS at @thersc, Stratford-upon-Avon, 1955. 📸 by Norman Parkinson for British Vogue. Caption reads: “Sir Laurence Olivier as Titus, played not as a clever villain but a rough old soldier tried beyond endurance: here with Vivien Leigh as the beloved dumb daughter whom he has just killed. Peter Brook directs, brilliantly — the music, costumes and sets are also his. Looking back, this is the play we shall remember of Stratford 1955.”

Vivien Leigh bathes in the Mediterranean at Tripol

Vivien Leigh bathes in the Mediterranean at Tripoli. This is one of the most treasured photographs in my personal collection (#kendrabeancollection). It was found in an album belonging to a US Army soldier stationed in Libya, during WWII, and gifted to me by the soldier’s son. Tripoli was one of the stops on the 1943 ENSA Old Vic Spring Party tour of North Africa. // If you’re interested in learning more about the Spring Party tour and Vivien’s time in the desert during the war, I wrote a blog post about it for the @nationalportraitgallery back in 2014. I’ll link to it in my stories 🌟

“She had a gift for friendship—and I am conscious of the cliché but can’t avoid it—and it was her most outstanding characteristic. To know Vivien was to love her—to have loved Vivien was also to have been loved by her, and loved with a true devotion and a passionate loyalty that might well put your own wavering emotion to shame.” — Terence Rattigan on Vivien Leigh // 📸 by Sasha (Alexander Stewart), 1938

Wishing my American friends a very happy Thanksgiving. I hope you stay home, stay safe, and stay full of pie and booze 😉 🦃🥧Hopefully, by this time next year, Miss Rona will have packed her bags and gotten the f*ck outta here.

Thanksgiving isn’t really a thing in the U.K. so unfortunately I don’t have any photos of Vivien or Larry celebrating. But here’s a cheerful image of Reginald Gardiner, Vivien, and David Niven drinking cocktails in Hollywood in 1939.

Beautiful soft-focus portrait of Vivien Leigh (then Vivian Holman) by Lenare studio, taken on the occasion of Vivien’s presentation at court to King George V, in 1934. This image is often mistaken for a wedding portrait, but in fact it isn’t. It’s worth noting, though, that Lenare *did * also take wedding portraits for Vivien’s marriage to Leigh Holman. // Photo c/o @sothebys. 🌟
