This one is my favourite one about her, though that may change when I get the newest one in my clutches!
thebookishlibrarian's review against another edition
Vivien Leigh is perhaps most famous for her portrayal of Scarlett O’Hara in the movie adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind. She was an actress who found herself in her roles. She immersed herself so much into them that she began to take on the characteristics of the person she was depicting on the silver screen. The book is based on interviews of Leigh’s family, friends, colleagues and Leigh herself.

A completely amazing biography, it made me tear up quite a bit toward the end of her life.

I've been fascinated by Vivien Leigh since my first glimpse of her as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. Her life, with its ups and downs, was every bit as fascinating as her role in that legendary movie. I'm so glad I've learned more about her by reading this, but I would have preferred a faster paced writing style in this particular book. The detail, including dates and eye-witnesses, was very well done and the visual imaginary created a clear picture of her in my mind. The photos selected for the book added a lovely visual glimpse into her life.
