They`re so strange together. I can`t imagine Laurence without Vivien Leigh.

Carole HeathJan 20, 2009

Both Olivier and Joan Plowright are to my mind grear actors, I am a great fan of them both. Olivier was a great classical actor and was sadly missed by myself when he died in 1989, Joan is still acting and long may she do so.
