    Thanks for this, Jon. Vivien and I share a birthday so I’ve always been interested in anything to do with her. This is near the beginning of her career. Taken for my eighth birthday, I saw her onstage in TOVARICH (1963) near the end of her too short life. The material was only “so-so” but she was ELECTRIC and her give-it-all presence boosted the meagre proceedings immeasurably. She sang and danced her entire way through and was still an incredibly BEAUTIFUL creature who understood the power of theatrical artifice in a way too few do. It was my entrance to theater past children’s fare. And she was immediately my personal Goddess.. I wish we had gotten to see her as Cathy in WUTHERING HEIGHTS (1939) as originally envisioned instead of the “less dangerous” Merle Oberon Larry (it is rumored) jealously and secretly blocked Leigh’s casting due to her assured wildfire success in gaining Scarlett O’Hara. He certainly would have been better opposite her passion than the overly intellectualized / calculated Heathcliff that he was. Like JANE EYRE (1943) It could have been — IMHO — a more authentically Bronte-infused gothic classic but tragically we will never know . . .
