Vivien Leigh 50th Anniversary Memorial (2017)

Footage of the Evening Memorial in Honor of Vivien Leigh on the 50th Anniversary of Her Passing This memorial was hosted by the Vivien Leigh Circle on July 7, 2017, at St. Paul’s Actors’ Church in Covent Garden, London. Among those in attendance were two of Vivien Leigh’s family representatives, Rupert and Sophie; Tarquin Olivier (Laurence Olivier’s son and Vivien’s stepson); actor Trader Faulkner (who co-starred with Vivien in Twelfth Night in 1955); as well as several academics. Original members of the Vivien Leigh Circle, including Margarita Malyon (VLC Chair), Pamela Grimbly, and Wyn Phillips, were also present. Fans from around the world joined us for this significant occasion. We apologize for any issues with the audio and background noise, which were due to the church’s acoustics. We hope you enjoy this memento of an unforgettable evening celebrating Vivien Leigh’s extraordinary life.
