The vivandlarry.com blog has gotten (another) facelift! I liked this layout because it’s a bit different and has a sort of magazine feel to it…as it should since it’s called magazine. Feel free to take a look around; most of the info and everything is the same but there are a couple of new additions.

Yesterday, I decided to make a new list of my top 25 favorite Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh photos. This may seem redundant as I’ve done favorite lists before, and frankly, there really isn’t a picture of them that I don’t love, but every time I sit down and think about it, my favorites change–especially since new photos of them keep popping up. It’s always hard to choose a favorite photo, but my favorites usually jump out at me because I find them beautiful, or silly, or a combination of both. I also love photos in which they look happy together. So, I hope you enjoy this little photo tribute, and I’d love to know which ones are your favorites!

I think my favorite is from the 1940 Oscars where he is making a silly face. Vivien’s face just says: I do love him, but what in the world is he doing right now? haha
Oh wow! This is difficult. I think #’s1, 20, 24, and 15 are my favorites. I love all of Vivien’s fur coats and that she has on heels with a swimsuit in #15!
#20 really is just a heartbreaking photograph, i almost feel wrong looking at it. such a beautiful couple they were. i think #25 will always be my favorite.
thanks for the comments, everyone! i’m so glad you enjoyed the photos, and i love hearing what everyone else considers their favorite–it’s really hard to choose because they were so beautiful!

Wait not # 15, 24 is the heels and swimsuit picture lol .
I always love pics of them when they were older. I think I like seeing proof of their lasting love & affection.
But #20 is so GREAT. It feels very private; like we’re spying on them by looking at the photo.
I really like the new layout. :]

My absolute favorite is #21, it’s so cute Viv buttoning Larry’s coat! Men love to be nurtured, and my husband agrees.I also like 1,5,13,16,17 and 18.
They look impossibly, effortlessly chic as only they could carry off in #1. My favourite is probably #15, just plain adorable. Thanks for posting!
I love all but my favourites are 19, 18, 11, 7, 5 and of course number 1 🙂
My favorite is definitely #3. They were such an adorable couple! 🙂
I agree with Tricia, I love the pics of them when they are older. Great collection!
