Vivian Mary Hartley aka Vivien Leigh | 5 November 1913 – 8 July 1967

“My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don’t pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVIEN LEIGH!
