Leigh was born Vivian Mary Hartley in Darjeeling, West Bengal, India, to Ernest Hartley, a British Officer in the Indian Cavalry, and Gertrude Robinson Yackje, whose heritage is in question.[1] She claimed to be of Irish descent, but it is speculated that she also had Anglo-Indian ancestry.[2] They were married in Kensington, London in 1912.[3] In 1917, Ernest Hartley was relocated to Bangalore, while Gertrude and Vivian stayed in Ootacamund.[4] Vivian Hartley made her first stage appearance at the age of three, reciting "Little Bo Peep" for her mother's amateur theatre group. Gertrude Hartley tried to instill in her daughter an appreciation of literature, and introduced her to the works of Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, as well as stories of Greek mythology. An only child, Vivian Hartley was sent to the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton, England in 1920 at the age of six-and-a-half. Her closest friend at the convent school was the future actress Maureen O'Sullivan, to whom she expressed her desire to become "a great actress".[5] Vivian Hartley completed her later education in Europe, returning to her parents in England in 1931. She discovered that one of Maureen O'Sullivan's films was playing in London's West End and told her parents of her ambitions to become an actress. Both were highly supportive, and her father helped her enroll at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London.[6] In late 1931, she met Herbert Leigh Holman, known as Leigh, a barrister thirteen years her senior. Despite his disapproval of "theatrical people", they were married on December 20, 1932, and upon their marriage she terminated her studies at RADA. On October 12, 1933, she gave birth to a daughter, Suzanne, but felt stifled by her domestic life. Her friends suggested her for a small part in the film Things Are Looking Up, which marked her film debut. She engaged an agent, John Gliddon, who believed that the name "Vivian Holman" was not suitable for an actress, and after rejecting his suggestion, "April Morn", she took "Vivian Leigh" as her professional name. Gliddon recommended her to Alexander Korda as a possible film actress, but Korda rejected her as lacking potential.[7] Cast in the play The Mask of Virtue in 1935, Leigh received excellent reviews followed by interviews and newspaper articles, among them one from the Daily Express in which the interviewer noted "a lightning change came over her face", which was the first public mention of the rapid changes in mood that became characteristic of her.[8] John Betjeman, the future Poet Laureate, also wrote about her, describing her as "the essence of English girlhood".[9] Korda, who attended her opening-night performance, admitted his error and signed her to a film contract, with the spelling of her name revised to "Vivien Leigh". She continued with the play, but when Korda moved it to a larger theatre, Leigh was found to be unable to project her voice adequately, or to hold the attention of so large an audience, and the play closed soon after.[10] In 1960 Leigh recalled her ambivalence towards her first experience of critical acclaim and sudden fame, commenting, "some critics saw fit to be as foolish as to say that I was a great actress. And I thought, that was a foolish, wicked thing to say, because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry. And it took me years to learn enough to live up to what they said for those first notices. I find it so stupid. I remember the critic very well, and have never forgiven him."[11] 费雯丽，1913年出生在印度大吉岭镇的一个英国股票经纪人家中，母亲是爱尔兰人。 1920年她随父亲回到英国，后在教会学校学习。其中她对艺术最为感兴趣。15岁那年，她随父亲到欧洲旅行。1931年，她要求进皇家戏剧艺术学院学习。在学校认识了温文尔雅的男青年霍尔曼，经常与之约会。1932年费雯丽与霍尔曼结婚。婚后她一度很幸福，但她执着的献身艺术，不愿意被家庭所束缚，生下一个孩子后，她就忍不住要求演电影。偶然的一个机会，她在《贞洁的面纱》中的表演被舆论认为是一颗新星的出现。突然的成功使她下定决心弃家从影。1940年 8月，费雯丽在拍完《魂断蓝桥》后与著名演员奥里佛结婚。婚后他们过了幸福的20年。费雯丽始终一往情深地爱着奥立佛，但奥立佛背叛了她。1960年12 月，他们办理了离婚手续。费雯丽因此受到重重地打击。1967年7月7日病逝于伦敦的公寓中。按她的遗愿，她的角膜捐献出来，遗体火化。 1.乱世佳人 Gone with the wind 2. 魂断蓝桥 Water bridge 3. 欲望号街车 A streetcar named desire 4. 英伦浩劫 Fire over england 5. 安娜卡列尼娜 Anna Karenina 6.汉密尔顿夫人That hamilton Karenina 7. 黑暗旅行Dark Journey 8. 伦敦的人行道 Sidewalks of london 9.茶杯里的风暴 Storm in a teacup
