Talk:Vivien Leigh

message: It might be interesting to note that she fluently spoke French, Italian and German by age 18.  This info is always given in every documentary I see about her.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.122.237.11 (talk) 18:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else agree it's kind of unusual that her filmography is listed in the middle of the article? Usually, the filmography is listed after the informational (textual) sections.Moviefan (talk) 19:33, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree.  As a matter of fact, the filmography is linked to twice ("see also").  I would suggest removing the first instance, and changing the header from "see also" to "List of works" (or something).   "Filmography" is not the correct term in Leigh's case as there is more stage work than film work.  Rossrs (talk) 20:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This statement is false.  Luise Rainer was the first actress to win two Best Actress Academy Awards which she did in 1936 (The Great Zigfeld) and 1937 (The Good Earth).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.60.113.34 (talk) 00:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: yes it's wrong and I've removed it, thanks Rossrs (talk) 07:31, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Even if it were true, she wouldn't have been the "first ever" actress to do this, just the "first".  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 02:46, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Note that a new image has been added to the commons. For a bio lead, it seems more appropriate, with the existing film character image better in the section about the film. Thoughts? --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 18:24, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this one better, assuming the contrast and sharpness can be modified closer to the existing one? --Light show (talk) 06:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Tortured sentence:
*  On 12 October 1933 in London, she gave birth to a daughter, Suzanne, later Mrs. Robin Farrington, who, decades later, would make Vivien Leigh a grandmother three times over with the birth of three sons.
Repetitive prose (three suffers in two sentences):
* For much of her adult life, she suffered from bipolar disorder.[1] She earned a reputation for being difficult to work with, and her career suffered periods of inactivity. She suffered recurrent bouts of chronic tuberculosis,
* In "Early life", at the age of three ... at the age of six ... should be varied.
Query (in the campus, or on the campus)?
* Leigh was born Vivian Mary Hartley in the campus
Confusing-- this sentence seems to be about Vivien's mother, but that is not clear enough:
* A devout Roman Catholic, her origins may have been of Irish and Parsi Indian ancestry.
Links needed ... we may know San Remo and Paris, but Dianard and Biarritz ...
* notably in Dianard, Biarritz, San Remo and Paris.
Samples ... a prose review would be good!  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:39, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
