5. What was the name of Vivien`s first film?

Answer: Things Are Looking Up

I`m sure many not knowing much about Vivien would say `Gone With The Wind`, as she was relatively unknown to American audiences before this was released.

She said the more time she spent in Hollywood, the less likely it was for her to stay there.

7. Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier were perhaps the greatest married couple to ever grace the stage. When were they married?

Vivien only had one bridesmaid - Katharine Hepburn!

8. Notley Abbey was home to the Oliviers from 1945. Who was this founded by?

Answer: Henry the II

Larry said of this residence - "It had mesmeric power. I could easily drown in its atmosphere. I could not leave it alone, I was a child lost in its history. Perhaps I loved it too much."

9. Vivien`s love for cats was well known, and of course she owned many during her lifetime. What was the name of the most famous siamese, which she took everywhere?

Answer: New Boy

New Boy was named after a Theatre, but sadly was run over by a car when Vivien was away from home in 1948.

10. Vivien hated the word `beautiful`.

Answer: True

Because Vivien was, of course, incredibly beautiful, and she heard this from people all the time, she came to hate the word. What she wanted to hear was that she was a `brilliant actress.`
