Author and film writer Richard Stirling considers the three iconic roles of an actress who still fascinates modern audiences.

Three iconic roles comprise the legend of Vivien Leigh: Scarlett O’Hara, Blanche DuBois and ‘Lady Olivier’ (that is, her public image during her famous relationship with Laurence Oliver). With clips from her other films and interviews, Richard Stirling positions her as one of the most intelligent and haunting of all British actresses, who, with less than twenty films to her name, leaves a legacy to fascinate modern-day audiences.
