Olivia de Havilland and Vivien Leigh starring in Gone With The Wind
Carla Gugino 'couldn't be more excited' to play Vivien Leigh in director Nick Sandow's upcoming biopic The Florist, which will be set a year before her tragic 1967 death at age 53 following a 20-year battle with chronic tuberculosis.
The Tony winner was preparing to star in Sir John Gielgud's Broadway adaptation of Anton Chekhov's Ivanov at the Shubert Theatre while treating her bipolar disorder with ECT in order to dull the paranoia, outbursts, and hallucinations. Leigh is still regarded as one of the greatest actresses, having won Academy Awards for both her iconic performances as Southern belles - Victor Fleming's 1939 epic Gone with the Wind and Elia Kazan's 1951 film version of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Carla will begin filming her role as the Indian-born Brit at the end of this summer in Philadelphia, and screenwriter Jayce Bartok 'put the script together based on a box of love letters' between Vivian and blue-collar florist Joseph Penn Alan Strachan wrote in his 2019 biography Dark Star: 'She never stopped loving him. It would have lasted, I'm absolutely convinced, had it not been for the bipolarity, which was at its worst in the second half of their marriage. And he found it impossible to deal with.
