Newly analysed letters written by Vivien Leigh show her close bond with fans - and how the actress would share highly-personal details about her health and relationships with them.
The letters detail Vivien s experiences with physical and mental health, and how she worked hard to craft characters, even while dealing with a progressive illness. They paint a rich picture of her working practices and career choices in the later stages of her life.
Australian fan Joyce Attwood met Vivien in person when she toured Australia in 1948 and the pair exchanged many letters over the next two decades. Joyce s letters form part of the Vivien Leigh Archive in the Victoria and Albert Museum, while a new book analyses letters sent to Joyce by Vivien for the first time. The contents of the letters haven t been made public before now.
