Jessica Lange: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Host : For her performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire" Vivien won her second Academy Award as Best Actress. It had been a triumph. In Blanche she exposed aspects of herself she had never shown before on screen or stage: her fragility, sudden dips into despair and desperation tht in the future would become more and more difficult.

• Host : She had appeared in ten films, in ten plays... but she was still not much recognized outside England. And then she heard of the search for a star for the movie version of Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel. The setting was the American Civil War, the heroine a Southerner born and bred. Vivien Leigh has never even been to the United States and her natural accent was the purest upper-class English; but the role was the most coveted in the history of movies and Vivien Leigh decided to make it her own. And so she prepared to take Hollywood by storm.

• Host : The tuberculosis that had returned did not seem life-threatening; she was convelescing, though impatiently, preparing to open in a new play. It was in 1967 that Vivien Leigh died... at 53, all the different moods and colors and experiences that combined to make up this unique woman were no more... she was gone... but I for one will never forget her.
