Vivien Leigh

How many movies I’ve seen them in: 12

How I feel about their acting: I feel her acting has a very beautiful and natural quality to it.

How I feel about them as a person: I feel so many thing for her! She went through so much with her mental illness and she kept on going, she inspires me everyday to keep going no matter how hard this battle may be.

My favorite role they played: I feel like she was at her most brilliant as Scarlet in Gone With the Wind, but I don’t know that I really like Scarlet all that much. I kind of like her characters in Waterloo Bridge, and Sidewalks of London more.

My least favorite role they played:  Elsa in A Yank at Oxford. That just wasn’t a good part for anyone.

You already know! Katharine Hepburn.

How many movies I’ve seen them in: 52

How I feel about their acting: Genius, she was so great at bringing any sort of character across she could funny or break your heart and has such wonderful timing, playing off other actors well. Even the roles that aren't supposed to be her best I feel the alluring power of her unique personality and way of acting. I just love everything about her acting.

How I feel about them as a person: One of the funniest most interesting people I’ve ever read about. Each story from her mouth is gold. Not to mention a real role model and someone anyone should look up to and aspire to be like. Her way of looking at life and getting through the difficult times is something I am always trying to learn from her. She really had so much wisdom.

My favorite role they played: Oh my gosh this is a hard one for me because I love so many of her roles, but Susan in Bringing Up Baby is one of my life long favorites! I never tire of that film!

My least favorite role they played: Jade in Dragon Seed. It’s just uncomfortable to watch.

How I feel about their acting:  The best, she could play any kind of part handed to her and did a good job even when the part was awful.

How I feel about them as a person: A strong woman who I look up to in many ways. If only I had a tiny portion of the strength she had!

My favorite role they played: This is so hard! I love so many of her roles! But I’m going to say Charlotte in Now, Voyager because it’s one of my all time favorite films.

My least favorite role they played: Marie in Bordertown. I did not like that movie at all and her character was despicable but not in a fun way like some of the others she played.
