Like Garbo and Dietrich, she became a legend for her beauty in her own lifetime; like Davis and Crawford, she was a consummate actress.

After a leading role on the London stage in the 1930s, she was placed under contract by Alexander Korda and cast opposite the young Laurence Olivier in "Fire Over England" (1937). Three years later she became Mrs. Olivier and was awarded both the Best Actress Oscar and the New York Film Critics Award for her portrayal of Scarlett O'hara in "Gone With the Wind" (1939).
