I'm sure glad no one has written a book about me. I can think of a few people who think they know me and how a book about me, by them would be hilarious.

I feel bad for poor Vivien right now. No body ever has a clue what another really goes through. May she rest in Peace.

you`re right. Just because someone writes something in a book, it is not necessarily true.
Even though I don´t think it needs to be false either.
It was written in the Laurence Olivier-biography that she was having a bipolar disorder, but of course that doesn`t mean it is necessarily true.

Anyway if I understood it right, this thread isn`t so much about her (possible) bipolar disorder, but about the astrology of two people who were madly in love and whose marriage ultimately failed.

Of course we cannot even be sure that they had been in love.
We can only get this idea or opinion from those who talked about them and their behaviour and of course from their own interviews.

Olivier would outlive Leigh for 22 years, during which he remained devotedly married to Plowright. Yet in the end, it was clear that he'd never gotten over Vivien either: In 1986, a visitor to his home found the 80-year-old Olivier sitting alone, watching Leigh in an old film on television. 'This, this was love,' he said, in tears. 'This was the real thing.'

if it were 5pm (or even noon),he would be a gemini...AND a goat. the goat on its own is enough to make an ox see red! though that depends on so many other factors, i imagine his creativity, and absorption in his art and his image, probably made her very insecure, and the whole sex thing could be down to that alone without any other factors - like manic-depression, which is well documented for her; self-medicating with alcohol; travelling around the world in a day when it was a lot harder on the body; and the fact that her career slid away while his kept growing...

i agree it's impossible for us to know but i think it is puritanical and harsh to call her a sex-addict. her affair with finch happened when she was feeling neglected, i'm not excusing that but we're talking ACTORS here,(=egotists!) and a woman who hit the peaks in her 20s only to watch her fame slip away...

and having known a few manic-depressives, one with a scorpio moon, i don't think anyone who is NOT M-D is in a position to hand down judgment on their behaviour. these people can be horrifying TO THEMSELVES let alone those who love them. and larry olivier was your quintessential ENGLISH goat, ie detaching himself from emotional scenes would have been second nature...

in any case, from wht is written it appears, she was extraordinarily pretty, and headstrong, which can make one act selfishly....i mean both of them left their marriages to get married to each other,,,,(yes yes many people believe its fair to do anything for true love).,......

and why saying someone is a sex addict a judgment....maybe she was...and in that case...it was just another challenge she had to deal with.....

and being pretty doesnt excuse u from anything,,,it probably just predisposes you to be demanding...cause beauty is an asset that sells.....and gives u power to get things your way.....too much money, beauty, physical strength....all are assets that are v difficlut to handle and not e one who have them is wise/prudent enough,,,,

She was a scorpio. They are known to be lusty. Besides, I see so many sexual posts on this site, so a lot of people are being really hyprocritical.
