Saturday 7 July 2012.
Friends of Theodore’s World,
Off topic, a Saturday night nice and easy turndown service I thought I might share:
It was 45 years ago today, on the night of July 7, 1967 when we lost stage and film actress Vivian Leigh.
She died so young from tuberculosis at age 53, but not before demonstrating herself the consummate actress gracing the silver screen with her talent and her striking, ravishing beauty over a 30 year career.
The 1960‘s knew Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, but in the 1940’s and 1950’s it was Vivian Leigh and Laurence Olivier.
Here's a video of her in scenes from her many films including, “Gone With The Wind” and “A Street Car Named Desire” with Elvis Costello singing “She” by Charles Aznavour:

Vivian Leigh described as, "proof of greater powers as an actress than she had hitherto shown", by Theatre writer Phyllis Hartnoll affirms those of us who believe this English beauty to be the greatest actress of all time.
Anyone here feel the same ?

I was too young then to appreciate Vivian Leigh. I was into John Wayne and Roy Rogers. Later I was in to the actresses of the '60s, Ann Margaret, Raquel Welch et al. One thing I do like about the older films is that black and white seems to give them a class that color doesn't. Also, I like films that don't sell themselves based on gratuitous sex, vulgarity, violence, ultra loud sound tracks and constant special effects. The last chase scene I enjoyed was in Bullit.
obama thinks that the proper spelling of his name is g-o-d.
