Vivien Leigh

Vivien Leigh, famous actress from 'Gone With the Wind' and 'Streetcar Named Desire'. The estate of her daughter has started putting items up for auction, including several books going up for auction at Sotheby's September 26, 2017. Lots of interesting plays and autographed books. Would this be worth adding?

Some of the books also belonged and are inscribed to Sir Laurence Olivier, another famous actor., whom Leigh was married to from 1940-1960.

Perhaps a joint library of Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier?

I was thinking about this one yesterday too - the lot descriptions actually give enough detail that we could catalog from them, which is very nice. I'm not sure there's enough for a joint library (would need to see what else of Olivier's is out there, where, &c.), but Leigh's could certainly be done as an LL from this, if folks are up for it!

I'm all in for Vivien and Larry, jointly or separately. If I can help with something, do let me know.

Mention of a 1948 inventory was interesting too. Wonder where that is (if it still exists). One of the notebooks from her student days also lists several pages for books read as well.
