Vivien Leigh: Life in the Mirror of Art
Abstract
Palka argues that the life of Vivien Leigh was closely interwoven with art, and her mental problems, maniacal depression she suffered from and her complicated emotional life influenced her theatre and cinematic performance. The roles she played also had an impact on her non-artistic life. Her roles in the film and theatre versions of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire and The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, or in La Contessa, a play based on Druon’s novel, are analysed by Palka, who paints a clinical picture of her illness and combines with the acting methods of Lee Strasberg or Stanislawski.
