Hi Internet. This is Vivien Leigh, not Gene Tierne

Hi Internet. This is Vivien Leigh, not Gene Tierney. It was taken by Philippe Halsman for @life magazine in 1946. Trust me.

Cool or creepy? @myheritage_official’s new deep fake feature, #deepnostalgia, allows you to animate still photos. I tried it on a few Vivien photos, including this one, my all-time favorite, by Philippe Halsman. The results varied! What do you think?

Vivien Leigh graces the cover of the July 29, 1946

Vivien Leigh graces the cover of the July 29, 1946 issue of @life magazine. The photo session was commissioned to promote the US release of the film CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA.

Photographer @philippe_halsman_official wrote about his experience photographing Vivien in New York - which led to his idea for staging the 1951 cover image he took of Vivien and Larry Olivier (see yesterday’s post): “No one who has seen her in Gone with the Wind will be surprised that Vivien Leigh became in my eyes one of the most beautiful women in the world. I was delighted when Life asked me to photograph her for a cover.

I knew that she suffered from t.b., but I was shocked by her pale and fragile appearance when she entered my studio. Vivien asked me whether she should put on some rouge, but I saw a strange attractiveness in her transparent paleness and photographed her as she was. Her features were exquisite, she was full of gentile charm and friendliness and at the end of the sitting I had the feeling that I was photographing something very unusual: an angel-like star.

The shock came when I developed my photographs. What I saw was not the image of a fragile, delicate angel but that of a tired and sick young woman. I phoned Vivien and told her it had been a terrible mistake on my part to photograph her without makeup and I hoped she would pose for me again. The angel-like voice answered that she understood and that she would come to pose tomorrow.” (Story continued in comments)

Vivien Leigh, traveling incognito, is greeted by h

Vivien Leigh, traveling incognito, is greeted by her friend Roger Furse at the airport in Benitses, Corfu, Greece, in the summer of 1964. In the 1960s Corfu, like the South of France and the Amalfi Coast, was a popular destination for the rich and famous. Several members of Vivien’s friend circle had homes there in the hills above the town. // So a few years ago, my husband and I holidayed in Benitses and decided to rent a car. I wanted to find the place in the hills where Vivien visited. Following shoddy GPS directions, I drove us up a winding and increasingly narrow road that turned into something you could tell hadn’t been driven by humans in a long time. We gave up before finding this hideaway, but not before I scraped the side of the rental car on a cobblestone wall whilst trying to reverse down a steep hill. *Cher Horowitz voice* Oops, my bad! 🤡”

Cute photo of Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon on the set of THE DIVORCE OF LADY X (1938). Despite tensions on the set of their second film together, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, Olivier and Oberon didn’t hate one another. They got along fine whilst filming DOLX, and Merle spent at least one weekend at Notley Abbey in following years. // Photo by Baron (Stirling Henry Nahum), via @gettyimages

“‘We were so young. I mean all of us were so young. Like those who went to the war and did not come back. I trusted everyone and I imagined, like the very young always do, that everything lasts forever. I mean a day like this would be followed by another and another and another.” - Vivien Leigh, speaking to Godfrey Winn about the early days of her relationship with Laurence Olivier
