Hollywood/British Theatre at its most Scandalous. *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2022* This book is published by Blood Moon Productions which specializes in works that employ modern day, tabloid style ethics to exhume “real-life” stories from the glorified past. In this work, “Damn You, Scarlett O’Hara – The Private Lives of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier,” authors Darwin Porter and Roy Moseley present an X-rated view of early 20th Century theatre and movie-making through revealing one of the most tragic love stories to take place behind stage and screen.I was pretty well disgusted after the first twenty or thirty pages of this book, as it seemed to be filled of laundry lists of actors and actresses, authors, directors, singers and movie moguls with a tabulation of their sexual preferences, escapades and infidelities; but once the work began to focus on the two primary characters – Vivien Leigh and Larry (Laurence) Olivier, the reader begins to see how such impulses and urges affected their lives and ended up leaving both multi-national stars feeling empty and alone.Shakespeare has hardly done better tragedy.I will say that of the shocking assertions made in this volume, many are third party allegations, few have impeccable credentials and even fewer are sufficiently referenced, so it is hard for me to pinpoint specific episodes from this book that “I know” actually transpired, but I think it’s reasonable to conclude that Porter and Moseley did present a true and general arch of Vivien’s and Larry’s glamorous but tortured relationship – a view mostly hidden to the general public during their celebrity heydays. ### ⭐⭐⭐ What Really Happened vs. What Prudes Wanted to Think Happened. *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2013* I gave this book three stars mainly because the writing style isn't as polished as it should be, and the first 7-8 Chapters are a bit dry, nothing gets really good until Larry and Vivien get "the party started" so to speak. Honestly, the reason why I think this book has gotten such bad reviews, is that certain fans don't want to have their idealized images of both Larry and Viv tarnished. They want a picture perfect romance, instead of the nitty gritty of a real life relationship between two very messed up people in a very messed up/in the closet( just research old Hollywood lavender marriages!)/over the top and controlling profession/industry. Having researched and read many thing about both Larry and Viv over 20 odd yrs, and reading between the not to concealed lines of other biographies etc....I'd have to say that a good 70% of this book is probably spot on accurate and true. Especially about Vivien, considering manic depression can bring on some very detrimental habits, like nymphomania, alcoholism and horrible impulse control in other aspects of life. 20% of the book was probably rumors and hearsay that was written down as fact and 10% may be completely off the top of the writers heads, mainly with the impression they give of having first hand accounts of dialogue between people, that unless they were a fly on the wall, one could never know for sure was actually said verbatim. All and all, this book wasn't off the mark by much, and I think it really did capture the totally off kilter ad toxic relationship that these two, no doubt very much in love but both very troubled individuals had, and other then maybe going back in to polish off the long winded and rather drab first few chapters, it really wasn't such a bad read at all. ### ⭐⭐ Shock and sleaze tale of the tragic romance of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier *by P***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2017* As a fan and admirer of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier this book was hard to read. The authors focus is not on the heart or talent of the famous couple , but instead focuses on the pair's hyper sex drive and many many adulterous affairs. Not shocking considering they were movie stars. It is the amount of partners and who the authors claim were Leigh and Olivier's lovers that is hard to believe. Both made love with men and women. It states that Larry had many ongoing secret relationships with men and that he probably was more gay then straight. What I really had a problem with were the many private conversations that are in the book that were attributed to the subjects. For instance a story involving Miss Leigh and Marlon Brando in which the two are alone together in a secret rendezvous. It claims that she told Marlon to " rape her like Stanley raped Blanche" in A Streetcar Named Desire. How would the authors know what was said? Everything in this book is a horny gay man's fantasy! All the men are gay or bisexual and the women sexually dominate and whorish. Read at the risk of never being able to see Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier as anything more then two sexually messed up people. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/15294557-damn-you-scarlett-ohara-the-private-lives-of-vivien-leigh](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/15294557-damn-you-scarlett-ohara-the-private-lives-of-vivien-leigh) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-10*
