I first became interested with Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier when i was 18 years old (Gone with the Wind was my gateway drug into their world and the world of classic films in general). Since my discovery of these two, I've read as much as I possibly can, and I've simply become enthralled and fascinated by them; their personal as well as professional lives, separate and as a couple.

This site came about as a result of me not finding enough about them online. Never have I seen a site dedicated to the both of them, and I thought they deserved equal representation.

I can imagine vivandlarry.com will always be under construction; there is such a wealth of scattered information about them out there that I don't think one can have a comprehensive understanding of their lives together by reading a few paragraphs or a single book. I am fully aware that they got divorced and there was no happy ending, but despite that, I still find them fascinating. And 20 years of marriage in Hollywood might as well be eternity. Seriously. As you may notice from reading the newsfeed entries on the main page, I do have a sense of humor about the things I like, and while this may sometimes come off as sarcastic or silly, please be aware that I adore and respect Vivien and Larry, and would never be derogatory about them. I do, however, welcome constructive discussions and criticism, and highly encourage visitors to give their input and interact. Also, as the Oliviers' relationship was a very turbulent one, this site seeks to present authentic and original material that discusses both sides of the story in order to give fans a chance to piece together the puzzle of Larry and Vivien's relationship and from there draw their own conclusions about it. So I hope to make this a long lasting tribute to, in my opinion, the classiest, most beautiful couple in all of Old Hollywood.

I hope you enjoy the effort put into designing and maintaining vivandlarry.com, and hope to see you back again and again!

Later,

Kendra
