Born in India to a British stockbroker and his Irish wife, Vivien Leigh first appeared on stage in convent-school amateur theatricals。

   Completing her education in England, France, Italy, and Germany, she studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art; not a particularly impressive pupil, Leigh continued her training with private tutors。

   In 1932, she briefly interrupted her pursuit of a theatrical career to marry London barrister Herbert Leigh Holman。

Leigh made her professional stage bow three years later in The Sash, which never made it to London's West End; still, her bewitching performance caught the eye of producer Sydney Carroll, who cast Leigh in her first London play, The Mask of Virtue。

   She alternated between stage and film work, usually in flighty, kittenish roles, until being introduced to Shakespeare at The Old Vic。

   It was there that she met Laurence Oliver, appearing with him on-stage as Ophelia in Hamlet and Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and later together onscreen in 1937's Fire Over England。

   It was this picture which brought Leigh to the attention of American producer David O。 Selznick, who brought his well-publicized search for the "perfect" Scarlett O'Hara to a sudden conclusion when he cast Leigh as the resourceful Southern belle in 1939's Gone With the Wind。

   The role won Leigh her first Oscar, after which she kept her screen appearances to a minimum, preferring to devote her time to Olivier, who would become her second husband in 1940。

Refusing to submit to the Hollywood publicity machine, Leigh and Olivier all but disappeared from view for months at a time。

   The stage would also forever remain foremost in her heart, and there were often gaps of two to three years between Leigh's films。

   One of her rare movie appearances during the '50s was as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a performance for which she received a second Oscar。

   In her private life, however, Leigh began developing severe emotional and health problems that would eventually damage her marriage to Olivier (whom she divorced in 1960) and seriously impede her ability to perform on-stage or before the camera。

   Despite her struggles with manic depression, she managed to turn in first-rate performances in such films as The Roman Spring of Mrs。

   Stone (1961) and Ship of Fools (1965), and maintained a busy theatrical schedule, including a 1963 musical version of Tovarich and a 1966 Broadway appearance opposite John Gielgud in Ivanov。

   Leigh was preparing to star in the London production of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance when she was found dead from tuberculosis in her London apartment in 1967。

   In tribute to the actress, the lights in London's theater district were blacked out for an hour。 ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

费雯·丽真实的出生年份是1911年，后来宣传《乱世佳人》时，电影公司为她减了两岁，因为公司认为女演员总是越年轻越好，于是她的出生日期变成了1913年11月5日。

  她生于印度，父亲是成功的英国商人，费雯在印度度过了美好的童年时光。一战爆发后，她随父母回到英国，并进入女子修道院学习，19岁时嫁给了一名法学家。

费雯接触电影是通过她的一个修道院朋友，这之后她开始演一些小角色。

  并且认识了当时已经有些名气的劳伦斯。奥利弗。丈夫对她无比热衷表演无法理解，而费雯却与志同道合的劳伦斯越走越近，不久两人便分别离了婚。1938年好莱坞邀请劳伦斯到美国拍摄片，他主演了《呼啸山庄》。费雯追随劳伦斯到好莱坞。正巧著名制片人大卫。塞尔兹尼克正在为他的宏篇世制《乱世佳人》选女主角，这次在全国范围的选角活动，搞得轰轰烈烈，无数的大明星均渴望得到这一角色，但却都无法令塞尔兹尼克满意。

  当塞尔兹尼克的弟弟把费雯引见给了哥哥和导演时 ,塞尔兹尼立刻明白她正是他们要找的人。《乱世佳人》是电影史最重要也是最成功的影片之一，甚至今天仍有无数的观众。费雯成功地扮演了其中最著名的角色---郝思嘉，她赢得了她的第一尊奥斯卡金像奖。

1940年费雯又拍了一部美国影片《魂断蓝桥》，这部影片中国观众十分熟悉，但在当时的美国并不很成功。

  不过费雯本人十分喜爱，特别是片中的插曲，她曾希望在她的葬礼上弹奏这支曲子。此后夫妇两人回到伦敦共同演出他们热衷的舞台剧。

1951年费雯主演了她的第二部获奥斯卡奖的影片《欲望号街车》，片中女主人公最后精神崩溃了。

  也许入戏太深，加上紧张的工作，和她脆弱的神经，不久费雯染上同样的病症。费雯曾被送入了精神病院治疗。尽管她与劳伦斯曾是公认的最幸福、最般配的夫妇，但劳伦斯无法忍受自己歇斯底里的妻子，1960年他们正式离婚了。

她的病始终折磨着她，直到1967年她去世，她最后一部有名的电影是与沃伦。

  贝蒂主演的《斯通夫人的罗马之春》，这位在银幕上充满激情的女演员，孤独地离去。

费雯有一双慧黠的大眼睛，精致的脸庞，细小的纤腰。当1938年塞尔兹尼第一次见到费雯时深深被她的容貌所打动。

  据说当年邱吉尔曾在一个聚会上见到费雯，手下的人对他说：“你可接见她的呀。”可是邱吉尔说：“不，我要远远地欣赏上帝的杰作。”尽管受到病痛的折磨，费雯惊人的美貌迅速逝去，可是她永远留在观众们心中的是她在《乱世佳人》中不朽的形象。
