I believe they were destined to be together. It’s sad that they were married to others, and their respective spouses got hurt by their actions.

It's so awesome to me that she and T.S. Eliot used to write to each other.🙃

@ Age of Vintage, Well you have done it again. Doing what you do best. There are some exquisite photographs of Vivien Leigh that I have never seen before. I did know that they both had a tumultuous affair, whilst they were still both married to their respective partners. The stories that circulated Hollywood that Vivien was uncooperative & labelled hard to work with quite possibly were due to her undiagnosed Bipolar disorder, which very little was known about it at the time. They were treating it back then with a type of electric shock therapy, which many people believed led to her early & untimely death at only 53 years old. A tragic end to a magnificent talent & leading lady. Love Love from Australia 🇦🇺💖💛💜💚💋

There is no doubt that Vivien Liegh and Lawrence Olivier is the most impactful and legendary romance of the 20 th century. Their love was sweet romance out of a Shakespearean creation with nuances of grand love of affair to rival the very foundation of British Royalty. I find these 2 legendary figures more exciting and passionate than of the British Royals Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth and certainly most intriguing.❤️🙏🏼🌟

Why is your question "was it wrong Vivien couldn't resist Olivier's charm even though they were both married". You don't think he had any responsibility or choice? Sexist much? Pretty pathetic.

As others have pointed out, the narrative is riddled with historical inaccuracies.

Very sexist and wrong to day that Vivien Leigh only got her part in Gone with the Wind because of Oliviers recommendation. Olivier's recommendation would mean squat in the new motion picture company that was formed to make Gone with the Wind. Vivien Leigh had to fight off almost every actress in Hollywood and the USA to get the part. She got it on merit, not on recommendation.

It would be nice if the broadcaster could pronounce "Olivier" properly.

To answer your question, I don't know what I would do in that situation, if I was married and met someone I liked, I think I would resist, sorry I'm boring, I believe in my vows 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

In addition to errors pointed out in other comments (a) Before GWTW Leigh was briefly a British 'starlet' and then a British star but she was never a Hollywood starlet; 21 Days was released in 1940 but filmed in 1937; while Leigh was completing GWTW Olivier was indeed in New York but on stage, not filming; the patriotic couple left the US for Britain in December 1940, not 1943.
