What a pleasure to see class and elegance without the mess we see today. Wonderful. We need to re-learn the courtesies and public niceties that seem to be missing from today's society of instant gratification and the lack of discretion that seems to be so much fun for so many.

    She played such a vulnerable character in Streetcar, very few actresses would know how to play Blanche other than in a exaggerated over the top manner so to speak. She really dominated this movie and is the heart of it. Brando in my opinion played it well, but over the top(as they say). She gave us Scarlett, and Noone but Leigh could play her so well that you felt Leigh's Scarlett was not a character but really existed. The same is true of Blanche in Streetcar. She was also unparalleled in the movie Ship of Fools. Vivian Leigh is the greatest actor/actress of all time.

    One of the most important moments of her life and she wasn't there to accept it. She struggled with TB for over 20 years before it finally took her life. She was one of the most talented and beautiful actresses as her time. She and Hedy Lamarr seemed to be overshadowed by the Blonde Bombshells of that day whether they had talent or not. This was a much deserving award for her.

Also, I don’t think Vivian Leigh was overshadowed. She preferred the stage anyway, and especially in those days, blond bombshells hardly had the chance to star in films as prestigious as hers …

    It would have been great if Vivien Leigh could have been there in person to receive her second Best Actress Oscar but at least it was accepted for her by a classy and Oscar-winning actress ( for Mrs. Miniver) Greer Garson. It's ironic that Miss Leigh didn't make as many movies as most other actresses but she genuinely deserved both of her Best Actress Oscars. Her performances in Gone With the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire are two of the most unforgettable portrayals in the history of motion pictures and the movies she won them for are real classics. It's also interesting that she won both of them for playing Southern women, since she herself was from England. For some reason, British actresses have always excelled at playing Southern characters. What a beautiful and unforgettable actress!

    Vivien Leigh's Blanche du Bois was an amazing, if imperfect, performance. A few of her choices are a little ridiculous but her highs are so VERY high, she more than compensates for them. She was a formidable force against Brando's Stanley, but frilly and vulnerable as she dared to be without sacrificing believability. Leigh clearly understood the complexity of her character, the sad paradoxical nature within her. The scenes she played with Karl Malden are particularly memorable. And in that bit with the newsboy, she is more revelatory than anywhere else in the film. Brilliant. This was a superior performance to that other, equally famous Southern belle of hers, Scarlett O'Hara.

    Gone With The Wind lasts 4 hours long....... And she's on screen for 90% of that time. She deserved it for both. Both of her Oscar winning performances are amongst the best ever. Her performance in GWTW is more steady drawn out strong-willed female character portrayal requiring much restraint, but in this she was free to "go nuts" as her character descends into madness. Two very different characters. Both amongst the best Oscar winning performances ever.

    Vivien was brilliant in the two most impacting female roles. Well deserved and gracefully accepted for Vivien by Grier Garsen on her behalf. Elegant, eloquent and simply lovely too is Grier Garsen. None of the freaky, wanna be, behaviour and dressed in a lovely gown, not half undressed as so many today.

    Yes the India born Vivian Leigh(1913-1967)won two Oscars in her cinematic career. The first was for Scarlett O Hara in "Gone With The Wind" in 1940 and twelve years Vivien won her second Oscar for her role as Blanche de Dubious in "A Street Car's Name Desired" in which she starred with Marlon Brando. Though a two time Oscar winner Vivien Leigh's personal life and marriage to Sir Laurence Olivier from 1940 to 1960 was an unhappy one.Vivien was plagued by manic depression and in 1954 in Ceylon she had to be replaced by Elizabeth Taylor in "Elephant Walk" because of illness and mental exhaustion. Vivien finally divorced from Olivier in 1961 and never remarried.Her death in 1967 really did affect Olivier emotionally as he lamented that he too was responsible for Vivien's predicament.

Only the likes of Marlon Brando could have matched her greatness, and did. Kazan, Malden, Hunter, everybody involved...just an incredible film - very intense. Only book I've read 3 times.

    My guess is that Winters didn't want to be placed in supporting, because there was stigma attached to that category. It was seen as a category for starlets, faded stars, and character actors. The lead category was for the real stars. I know this is why Rosalind Russell and Anne Baxter refused to be placed in supporting for PICNIC (1955) and ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), respectively, even though they both would've easily won for Supporting Actress. In the end, Russell missed out on a nomination, and though Baxter got the Best Actress nod, many feel she cost her co-star Bette Davis the Oscar because they split the vote between them. Nowadays, the category doesn't hold the same stigma. In fact, you now have obviously leading roles committing category fraud by being place in Supporting just to win easily. For example, last year Julia Roberts in AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. Both she and Streep were co-leads, but she campaigned in supporting, so that she and Streep wouldn't be in direct competition with each other.

    Vivien Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor were the only "Great Beauties" who gave tour de force performances that would win them two Oscars each. (In Vivien Leigh's case deservedly.) Interestingly, it was Greer Garson--shown escorting Bogart off the stage with his Oscar for the African Queen--who first advised that screen legend to consult a doctor about his rasping cough which was later diagnosed as cancer.
