The holidays are here! Snow has blanketed the ground, and everyone is going home or elsewhere for Christmas (or trying to–the airports are closed!). I’m spending Christmas in Scotland, but before I go, I wanted to leave a little gift to all of the lovely Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier fans out there.
I know updates at vivandlarry.com have been lacking since this past summer, but hopefully bigger and better things will be happening soon. As a Christmas gift, here are 20 new photos of Larry and Vivien. I hope you enjoy them. Some are quite rare! Huge thanks to my good friend Mark for sharing some of his amazing collection with me and therefore you as well 🙂
Happy holidays!
