NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST A New York Times Bestseller "A "well rounded and entertaining" (New York Times) Hollywood biography about the passionate, turbulent marriage of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. In 1934, a friend brought fledgling actress Vivien Leigh to see Theatre Royal, where she would first lay eyes on Laurence Olivier in his brilliant performance as Anthony Cavendish. That night, she confided to a friend, he was the man she was going to marry. There was just one problem- she was already married, and so was he. TRULY, MADLY is the biography of a marriage, a love affair that still captivates millions, even decades after both actors' deaths. Vivien and Larry were two of the first truly global celebrities, their fame fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television, which helped and hurt them in equal measure. They seemed to have it all and yet, in their own minds, they were doomed, blighted by her long-undiagnosed mental-illness, which transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare. Through new research, including exclusive access to previously unpublished correspondence and interviews with their friends and family, author Stephen Galloway takes readers on a bewitching journey. He brilliantly studies their tempestuous liaison, one that took place against the backdrop of two world.

WHAT A ROMANCE !!

I could not put it down !!! VIVIAN LEIGH, LAWRENCE OLIVIER AND THE ROMANCE OF THE CENTURY by Stephen Galloway. My gosh! What that couple went through in deep love and lust from the mid-1930s to the early 1960s. I was obsessed. I had to be outside --- anywhere, everywhere --- to get lost in the adventure of their LOVE. They were always involved in theatre, with some motion picture work. Through thick and thin, war and peace. I learned a lot, experienced their emotion. A wonderful wonderful work of biography. Review by Charles Ynfante.
