Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor, Waterloo Bridge (1940)

November 10, 2022 By Joi

Vivien Leigh, Waterloo Bridge

Vivien Leigh, Waterloo Bridge

The publicity photos here of Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor is for their 1940 film Waterloo Bridge (directed by Mervyn LeRoy). Robert Taylor was one of the actors (IMO) Vivien had the most chemistry with. They worked flawlessly with one another and I will always wish they’d made more films together!

You can find Waterloo Bridge on dvd or Blu-ray (Amazon link) or watch the movie on Prime Video.

Vivien Leigh Behind the Scenes Picture from Gone with the Wind (1939)

Vivien Leigh Behind the Scenes of Gone with the Wind

Vivien Leigh

I have, like, 10 minutes (oops, more like 8) to post this before I have to hit the ground running, but I wanted to share the photo of the day first thing. And my philosophy is “If you’re going to hit them with a photo and run, make it a memorable one!”

In that vein, I knew I had to share a picture of the beautiful Vivien Leigh behind the scenes of Gone With the Wind. You simply CANNOT have a conversation about the most beautiful actresses of old Hollywood without naming Vivien. She was just ridiculously beautiful.

You can find Gone With the Wind on dvd (Amazon link). Her performance, along with the performances of Hattie McDaniel, Olivia de Havilland, and Clark Gable make this a movie extra, extra special.

Vivien Leigh: Publicity Pictures from Sidewalks of London (1938)

November 5, 2022 By Joi

Vivien Leigh, Sidewalks of London
Vivien Leigh, Sidewalks of London

We celebrate the life and films of one of the most remarkably beautiful and talented stars of all time today, Vivien Leigh. She was born on November 5, 1913 in Darjeeling, India.

While the gifted actress is best-remembered as Gone with the Wind’s Scarlett O’Hara, her filmography is nothing short of wonderful.

A few of my favorite Vivien Leigh films (and performances) are listed below. I hope that, if you are unfamiliar with her work, you’ll seek out more of her films soon. She was truly remarkable.

  • Gone with the Wind
  • Sidewalks of London
  • That Hamilton Woman
  • Anna Karenina
  • A Streetcar Named Desire
  • Ship of Fools (her last film)


These publicity pictures of Vivien Leigh are from her 1938 film Sidewalks of London, directed by Tim Whelan.

Review: Truly, Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and the Romance of the Century by Stephen Galloway

July 12, 2022 By Joi

Truly, Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and the Romance of the Century by Stephen Galloway

Truly, Madly by Stephen Galloway

First of all, before I get to the actual review of Truly, Madly by Stephen Galloway, I just have to say how breathtakingly perfect the cover photo is.

Fast-paced, unique, devil-may-care, and delightfully frantic – it says all the things it should say about Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier. As a couple, they grabbed life by the lapels and seemed to say, “Keep up if you can!” and the picture chosen for the cover of this wonderful book conveys the message SPLENDIDLY.

From the Inside Cover:
In 1934, a friend brought fledgling actress Vivien Leigh to see Theatre Royal, where she would first lay eyes on Laurence Olivier in his brilliant performance as Anthony Cavendish. That night, she confided to a friend, he was the man she was going to marry. There was just one problem: she was already married—and so was he.

TRULY, MADLY is the biography of a marriage, a love affair that still captivates millions, even decades after both actors’ deaths. Vivien and Larry were two of the first truly global celebrities – their fame fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television, which helped and hurt them in equal measure. They seemed to have it all and yet, in their own minds, they were doomed, blighted by her long-undiagnosed mental-illness, which transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare.

Through new research, including exclusive access to previously unpublished correspondence and interviews with their friends and family, author Stephen Galloway takes readers on a bewitching journey. He brilliantly studies their tempestuous liaison, one that took place against the backdrop of two world wars, the Golden Age of Hollywood and the upheavals of the 1960s — as they struggled with love, loss and the ultimate agony of their parting.

What I Love About Truly, Madly

Vivien Leigh and Gone with the Wind are actually two of the forces that drew me to classic movies in the first place. In school, when my friends were talking about Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta, Close Encounters, and Olivia Newton John, my eyes glazed over until I steered the conversation to Vivien Leigh, James Stewart, Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn!

It was a bit later when I discovered Laurence Olivier – and, unfortunately, I disliked him and the film so much, I went many years before giving him another chance.

Imagine that – one of the greatest actors in the history of the world and I put him in time out!

We only children don’t always make sense, you know.

When I saw him in Wuthering Heights (1939), he was completely forgiven for allowing Marilyn Monroe to completely upstage him in The Prince and the Showgirl (kind of hard to believe this was the same actor!).

The more I read about the two stars, the more fascinating I found them to be. I marveled (and marvel) at the fact that, in spite of battling Vivien’s mental illness – a battle loved ones face as surely as the victim does – they managed to maintain such wonderful careers. They faced the music, so to speak, in spite of the symphony raging in their own lives.

I am perfectly astounded by the strength this HAD to have taken. I’d say that it also took its toll on both of them – they were, after all, only human and humans have their breaking points.

The journey that took place between the time they came together and the time they could no longer stay that way is the stuff of legends and in the right hands (Stephen Galloway, to a tee), it makes for a fascinating, spellbinding story.

Probably 200 times during the book, I would close the book simply to process what I  had just read. Whether it was a wonderful quote by Laurence Olivier, a compelling observation by the author, or a story that involved another star (Marlon Brando, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Merle Oberon…) I kept finding myself in the position of wanting to pause and reflect on what I had just mentally experienced. To sit and chew on it for a minute, as we might say in Kentucky.

Don’t you LOVE it when an author draws you that into the story he or she is sharing? I keep a mental list of books that make me hit pause in this manner and they are, inevitably, the ones I turn to first to reread.

Something I always ask myself, after reading old Hollywood biography or autobiography, is this: Do I like the actress/actor the same, better than, ore less than I did before beginning the book? After reading Truly, Madly, I would say that I am as big a fan of Vivien Leigh’s as I was before the book (I already adored her and I still do). However, with Laurence Olivier, I really didn’t have many feelings one way or another toward him before reading this particular book.

However, I find that I like him a great, great deal now. In fact, I have never had anyone who, after reading a biography, jumped so many leaps and bounds in my mental popularity poll! Was he perfect.. well, heck no.. none of us are. But, by gosh, he was a perfect hoot (throwing a little more Kentucky flavor your way).

I find Vivien Leigh to be fascinating. I find Laurence Olivier to be fascinating. I find the two together to be blindingly fascinating and you will as well.

More Things to Love About Truly, Madly

  • You meet the stars as children and see events that led them to become the adults they grew into – for better or worse.
  • You see their flaws, yet still, somehow, feel for them. Each made monumental mistakes and hurt people who loved them, but there are often forces in life that blow us so completely off kilter that we, ourselves, don’t recognize the things we say and do. Not condoning.. simply stating facts.
  • The pictures are stunning. Mind you, I spend a great deal of time in Classic Hollywood – basically, I only step out of it long enough to go to the store and feed my cats, yet there are photos even I have never seen in this remarkable book.
  • Laurence Olivier was a brilliant, complex, infuriating, intriguing, and often very humorous man. None of his roles even come close to the “character” he was in real life and, if you’ve never met him, I TRULY hope you will allow the introductions to be made by Stephen Galloway.
  • Vivien Leigh was like a beautiful princess who lived in a gorgeous castle and had the world at her fingertips. Because she had so much going on for her, the princess only had ONE enemy. The problem is, when you ARE the enemy, escaping takes its own kind of fairy tale magic and, tragically, when Vivien Leigh lived such magic did not exist. Again, to see what this stunningly beautiful lady battled.. and yet somehow kept working.. is truly remarkable.
  • As I always say, the stars you meet “along the way” are one of my favorite things about old Hollywood biographies. Between the two of them, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier crossed paths with a lot of household names – and many of them rivaled them when it came to charisma and stories worth repeating!
  • The author, Stephen Galloway is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. He draws you into each scene with the artistry of a legendary director… but, somehow does so (like all great directors) without shining the light on himself. His stars are the stars… and what stars they were.

I hope you’ll grab a copy of the excellent Truly, Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and the Romance of the Century (Amazon link) right away. I can’t think of a better book or two more colorful stars to spend summer with. ~ Joi (“Joy”)

Vivien Leigh, Caesar and Cleopatra (1945)

Vivien Leigh, Caesar and Cleopatra

Vivien Leigh, Caesar and Cleopatra

The ridiculously beautiful pictures here are of the even more ridiculously beautiful actress Vivien Leigh in her 1945 movie Caesar and Cleopatra. While the film isn’t, by any stretch of the imagination, one of her best films, it’s very much worth seeing for the performances of Vivien, Claude Rains (Caesar), and Stewart Granger.

You can find Caesar and Cleopatra on dvd (Amazon link).

Vivien Leigh: Behind the Scenes of Gone With the Wind Picture

April 14, 2022 By Joi

Vivien Leigh, behind the Scenes of GWTW

Vivien Leigh, Behind the Scenes of Gone with the Wind

Some stars were so strongly associated with a particular character they gloriously brought to life that the two names are forever interwoven. Vivien Leigh, with her iconic portrayal of Scarlett O’Hara is a beautifully perfect example. While she had many wonderful roles (each played to perfection), she will always be associated with this deliciously spoiled character.

I really don’t think she’d mind – it was one of Hollywood’s all-time most most coveted and most popular roles and I am convinced no actress could have done it more service than the wonderful Vivien Leigh did.

You can find Gone with the Wind on dvd (Amazon link) or watch the movie on Prime Video.

Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, and Victor Fleming on the Set of Gone with the Wind

March 5, 2022 By Joi

Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, and Victor Fleming on the Set of Gone with the WindVivien Leigh, Clark Gable, and Victor Fleming

The photo above is a wonderful behind the scenes picture from Gone With the Wind with stars Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable with director Victor Fleming. The iconic film won (very deservedly!) 10 Academy Awards… if we’re being honest, I think it should have won more.

While a great deal has been written and said (and continues to be, unfortunately) about the relationship between Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, I prefer to take the word of the actress, herself:

“Who could quarrel with Clark Gable? We got on well. Whenever anyone on the set [of Gone with the Wind (1939)] was tired or depressed, it was Gable who cheered that person up. Then the newspapers began printing the story that Gable and I were not getting on. This was so ridiculous it served only as a joke. From that time on, the standard greeting between Clark and myself became, ‘How are you not getting on today?'” ~ Vivien Leigh

You can find Gone With the Wind on dvd (Amazon link). It truly was a phenomenal film with an extraordinary cast, writers, and director.

BOTD: The Heart of Gone With the Wind, Hattie McDaniel

June 10, 2021 By Joi

Hattie McDaniel and Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind

In addition to Judy Garland, another iconic and much-loved actress was BOTD, the wonderful Hattie McDaniel was born June 10, 1893 in Wichita, Kansas. She also happens to be one of my favorites.

She VERY deservingly won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role of Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939). She was the HEART of GWTW.

Hattie McDaniel also starred in other wonderful films including The Mad Miss Manton (1938), The Little Colonel (1935), Alice Adams (1935), and Song of the South (1946) among others.

Happy Heavenly birthday to an actress I CANNOT imagine old Hollywood without.

Scarlett and Prissy Figurine from Gone With the Wind

November 14, 2018 By Joi

 The beautiful Scarlett and Prissy Figurine depicts a classic scene from Gone with the Wind. Prissy is, to this day, one of my favorite movie characters EVER – right up there with Mammy from the same movie.

Prissy makes you just want to put your arm around her and protect her. Prissy was brought to life by the adorable Butterfly McQueen, who doesn’t get nearly enough credit for her acting talent. She brought so much passion to this character and, even though the role was relatively small, everyone knows who Prissy was and, more importantly, everyone knows who Butterfly McQueen was! Making yourself and your character so memorable that she stands the test of time is the work of an exceptional actress.

I loved her famous character so much, I named one of my most loved cats ever “Prissy” in her honor.

I cannot even begin to fathom what actors and actresses of color went through during the Golden Age of Hollywood – simply to be able to live out their dream. Well, actually, as a history buff and someone who has read a great deal from the era, I can fathom it… I simply don’t want to. It scorches the psyche.

To be able to focus on your craft in spite of the hardships and injustices around you simply takes my breath away. Each actor and actress who fought for their rights to enjoy the right to live out their dream deserves our respect and deserves to be recognized often. I mean, they did what the white actors and actresses did but with unimaginable restraints and cruelties on their shoulders. Again… it takes my breath away.

I regularly hear from other Gone With the Wind, Butterfly McQueen, and Prissy fans who are looking for “Prissy” dolls and figurines – so I’m always on the look-out for her.. for them as well as myself! One of the things I love most about this particular figurine is the way Prissy’s hands are nervously fiddling with her apron, something the actress brilliantly did to help bring her character to life.

Like Butterfly, herself, it’s just beautiful.

Welcome to Hollywood Yesterday!

Ann Sheridan, It All Came True

Ann Sheridan
My name is Joi (“Joy”) and I created Hollywood Yesterday as my personal tribute to Old Hollywood. It’s my effort to help keep the stars from Old Hollywood, Classic Television, and Old Radio Shows alive and shining forever. Old Hollywood was positively magical and I see no reason for the magic to ever die.

Be warned, I am (by nature) overtly positive, I never take anything too seriously, I say extraordinary so often you’d think I invented the word, and I overuse exclamation points to distraction. I’m perpetually over-caffeinated.. we’ll blame that.

Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland, The Adventures of Robin Hood

My main goal with Hollywood Yesterday is to keep the names, faces, and films of the stars that mean so much to me shining brightly. When I’m guilty of focusing more time on my personal favorites (such as Olivia de Havilland) than other stars, I hope you’ll forgive me. I am, by all indications, very human!

Also, please know that I try to keep my posts (except for book reviews) short and to the point, so you can enjoy the pictures, grab the information, and get back to your life. I don’t appreciate anything that’s overly wordy, so I don’t want to do that to others. For better or worse, I write as I talk, so if you ever feel like you’re reading the words of someone who’s a cross between Lucy Ricardo, Daisy Duck, and a Jerry Lewis character, that’s just because you are!

Wait. What did I just admit to??
