Tom Tierney

Vivien Leigh: tough, tender, talented beautiful, irresistible, willful - a dynamic collection of contradictions with a face of angelic perfection. Like Garbo and Dietrich, she became a legend for her beauty in her own lifetime; like Davis and Crawford, she was a consummate actress. Born in Darjeeling, India (Nov. 5, 1913), she was christened Vivian Mary Hartley. After a leading role on the London stage in the 1930s, she was placed under contract by Alexander Korda and cast opposite the young Laurence Olivier in "Fire Over England" (1937). Three years later she became Mrs. Olivier and was awarded both the Best Actress Oscar and the New York Film Critics Award for her portrayal of Scarlett O'hara in "Gone With the Wind" (1939). Now, with Dover's newest paper-doll collection, you can recapture a part of shimmering magic that marked Miss Leigh's entire career. A Vivien Leigh figure and 28 costumes from a dozen films, all in full color on heavy stock, provide an incredibly life-like rendering of the enchanting actress. These authentic brilliantly colored, ready-to-cut costumes by noted fashion illustrator Tom Tierney recall Vivien in: "Sidewalks of LondonFire Over EnglandCeasar and CleopatraA Streetcar Named DesireThe Deep Blue SeaA Yank at OxfordGone with the WindThat Hamilton WomanAnna KareninaThe Roman Spring of Mrs. StoneShip of Fools"
