I read a book sometime ago. I can't recall the title off hand. It was about Laurence Olivier and of course it was also about Vivien Leigh and Olivier's other wives Jill esmond and Joan Plowright.. the book told the reader about Vivien Leigh's breakdown and stay in a hospital where she was treated for her breakdown in the 1950s. I believe she had this breakdown while making elephant walk the film with Peter finch.. and Olivier's book confessions of an actor if I remember rightly also told of his wife's bipolar illness then called manic depression. The first book I refer to named the hospital where Vivien Leigh was treated. It was called netherne in coulsdon in Surrey. Not far from where I live. The hospital is now gone and a housing estate stands on the site nowadays. I know someone who's aunt worked there in the 1950,s as a nurse. The aunt told me she remembers Olivier coming to visit his wife Vivien Leigh as she sometimes attended to her on her shifts. I believe Vivien Leigh was a private patient This first book I refer to also says Laurence Olivier sister Sybil sadly also suffered with mental health issues and was a patient in the same hospital at least twice. . . . . .

@@terry4137 wrong Larry loved his puss till the end, he said that himself

[@caroleheath3176]

It was so sad that their marriage ended. They had everything fame talent wealth and good looks. But behind the public adulation and glitter all was not good between them. The relationship became a nightmare I have read and heard. Vivien Leigh sadly had bipolar and in those days there wasn't the treatment or drugs to help control her symptoms. I think her husband Larry Olivier tried his best to help his wife but the situation became introllrable for him. And his own health and his work as an actor etc was suffering. I think although both Larry and vivien found love with other people later on Joan Plowright and jack merivale the love of their lives was Larry for Vivien and Vivien for Larry. I think also jack and Joan must have had a hard time coming with this fact. Couldn't have been easy.

Can do without the music..!

[@bojest5863]

The music for this sucks

[@Steve-km3nt]

At some point Vivien (my favorite actress) told Larry she no longer loved him. How is that an eternal love story.? It was a story of passion which burned itself out, which is usually the case.

[@nicholas9587]

it was when her mental illness was playing dirty games with her. After their divorce vivien wrote that she would rather live a short life with larry than a life long without him

[@AnnaLVajda]

I heard he was gay and used her as a beard their love was mostly platonic which probably aggravated any mental health problems she had as she seemed like a rather passionate woman. Then he traded her in for someone younger so lots of people start off so in love and then things change.

[@lawrencesait3432]

Spot on nick,deep down they bothed loved each other all there lives , but who could not love Vivien Leigh, the most beautiful women in the world in her prime and a great actress and she was ours.

[@FanofBewitched]

Great video. Whats the name of the song?

[@jamesford1544]

There wasn’t eternal love story. He left her for another woman. The last 9 years she was with Jake who take care of her.

[@rerereiiirrrthaaaa]

I love & respect Jack about that! Almost men love a young, beautiful, famous & healthy woman, only one man love her in her old age, not beautiful & illness ! What kind of love is eternal?

[@FanofBewitched]

Great video.Whats the name of the song? Oh and I can't get on your page. It says its no longer there.

[@annamariafacchiano1688]

I don't quite understand why they left

[@annakonarska6373]

beacouse she was sick - shizophrenia ...

[@annamariafacchiano1688]

Anna Konarska Yes, you are right. I read their story.Too bad: so beautiful, so in love, so great in their art, unforgettable. Thank you for answering me.

[@annakonarska6373]

You are welcome..

[@janel342]

@@annakonarska6373 well, maybe manic depressive?

[@marythompson3658]

Because if you know anything about Bipolar/Vivian was hard to handle/IT'S exhausting for the caretaker!! She was an absolute handful!!

[@MezzoMamma1]

Well he cheated with Joan had three kids and she died alone. So much for dear Larry.

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Oh yeah sure, She tormented him with her psychotic episodes(she was bipolar) the length of their marriage until he could take it no more and left her. But he left her in the hands of s.o. he trusted to take care of her.
