Vivien Leigh has died

CNN is reporting her death. She was 53. Tuberculosis is suspected to be the cause of death. Rest in peace, Vivien.

• Yep, she has died, in July 1967, shortly before my 3rd birthday.

• Thanks for the news flash.

• Is she dead, or dead dead?

  Whoppie

• Well fiddle-dee-dee!

• "I'll think about that tomorrow".

• And hopefully the OP will soon follow

• In other news, The War of 1812 is finally over.

• Frankly, OP?

  You%20know%20the%20rest.

• I can't think about this today; I'll go crazy. I'll think about this tomorrow.

• One of my favorite scenes. 'Ship of Fools', just a couple years ago....

• Don't fret. We still have julia Ormond.

• In other news Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

• FUCK! Now there will NEVER be a sequel to Gone With The Wind. First Clark, now Viv. What the hell is the world coming to? At least we still have Judy Garland!

  1967

• Smoking and TB are never a good combination.

• In the 70's Bertolucci wanted to do a sequel to Gone With The Wind with Geraldine Page and Walter Matthau, never came to pass, but would have been interesting.

• President and Mrs. Johnson have sent condolences to the family.

• at least spell her name right

• Well, that's just swell. I was going to dodge the draft, but FUCK IT, I may as well go to Vietnam now. This news is so depressing. I went to see Bonnie & Clyde at the drive-in last night, but I was too depressed to enjoy it. Even listening to "Sgt. Pepper" isn't cheering me up. The Beatles have always cheered me up in the past. I hope Star Trek is not a rerun this week. I'll just die. Star Trek is the only thing in my life that I can depend on to make me feel groovy when I'm feeling bummed. Well, I like Mission: Impossible and Get Smart, too. Viv, you were one of a kind. I loved you dearly. I just don't know how I will go on. Oh well, I still have the memories. Maybe they'll play Gone With The Wind on TV one of these days.

• Just heard the news over the Lear Jet Stereo 8 while warming up the Corvair. The Philco's on the fritz, I just got got back from Rexall's-they have the best tube tester in town. Never seen Gone With the Wind, maybe one day it'll be on TV..

  Mary Worth

• The garbage collector and myriad door to door salesmen will be sad.

• WhaaAAt!?

• Jack Nicholson warned her about playing Blanche! The role is cursed!

• CNN didn't exist until the 1980, toots. FAIL.

• Who?

  TMZ

• Mother is dead!!? Why was I not told?

  Laurence Jr.

• Lawd! That girl was tetched in the head.

  Hattie

• I told you I's goin', and goin' I am!

  Viv%2C%20over%20it

• She met her Waterloo Bridge.

  Della

• Now I'll be the real Queen of Notley Abby.

  Larry

• She took the heavenly streetcar to Tara in the clouds.

• I'm sure this will be thoroughly disturbing news when I'm born several years from now.

• Oh, dear. Not Viv. Do The Monkees know yet? Davy will be devastated.

  Gilligan, the Skipper too

• Viv is in heaven now discussing her bi-polar disorder with Judy Garland and Dusty Springfield.

• Homegirl did NOT age well.

• R18 It is spelled right, nitwit!

• No, R36; it should be V-A-N-C-E.

• R37 If it's Vance, it should be V-I-V-I-A-N.

• OMG A PLANE HIT THE TWIN TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG

• TWO PLANES HIT...!! I'm pretty sure it was something planned by President Cheney.

• Boys, we still have Judy. Let's hang on to that.

• How's Larry holding up ?

  Danny%20K.

• He obviously meant John Travolta asshole.

• I never miss a Vivien Leigh musical. Except when they name them TOVARICH, fer chrissakes.

• I had heard she wasn't well. Poor thing. She's in a better place now.

  Olivia DeHavilland

• R37 You are joking, right? Tell me you understand there's a difference between Vivien Leigh (actress, Gone With the Wind) and Vivian Vance (actress/comedienne, I Love Lucy)?

• [quote] OMG A PLANE HIT THE TWIN TOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG The WTC is an insatiable bottom.

• Somehow, I always thought I'd go first.

  Olivia%20de%20Havilland

• Also, I always wished Joan would go first.

• [quote]Tell me you understand there's a difference between Vivien Leigh (actress, Gone With the Wind) and Vivian Vance (actress/comedienne, I Love Lucy)? Sure. Vivien wore drapes. Vivian hung them.

• Although I'm sure it's for the best that she and Olivier never had a child (considering that her struggle with bipolar-ness was manifesting itself by the end of the marriage), still, the world missed out on somebody who probably would have been an incredible actor!

• Her daughter from her first marriage didn't really inherit her beauty.

• R49, Lol.

• I'll wear black but only for a week! Black is not a good color for me.

• Olivia? She's a mealy mouthed ninny and ah hate huh!

• Somebody told me they saw aunt Pittypat in the Atlanta city mall last week, said she was still looking good for her age.

  M

• LOL, R47. Can I ride that handbasket with you?

• And I am STILL here, ladies!!!

  you all know who I am.

• OP, I think you'd better check the control panel on your Tardis.

• Nothing yet on CNN. For some reason they are obsessed with some runner falling at the Boston Marathon. I'll monitor the situation and report back when when I get more information.

• No, she's only outside looking in.
