Dame Joan Ann Plowright, Baroness Olivier (28 October 1929 – 16 January 2025) was an English actress whose career spanned over six decades.

She won two Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award. She was also nominated for an Academy Award, an Emmy and two BAFTA Awards.

She was the second of only four actresses (as of 2024) to have won two Golden Globes in the same year.

She won the Laurence Olivier Award for Actress of the Year in a New Play in 1978 for Filumena.

She was described by Variety as "perhaps the greatest Anglophone actor of the 20th century."

Where Madness Lies: The Double Life of Vivien Leigh by Lyndsy Spence #BookReview #TheHistoryPress #ARCReview #Biography #MentalHealth #Hollywood

There's a new biography coming out in early 2025 about one of the silver screen's bright talents, Vivien Leigh, and her struggle with mental illness. Where Madness Lies explores her mental break and decline, using flashbacks. #BookReview #VivienLeigh

It’s time for another book review from my never-ending TBR list. One of my first reviews on the blog was an older biography of Vivien Leigh and decided to see what this January 2025 release would have to offer in terms of new information or a different angle. Most books mentioned in my reviews can be found at the affiliate links below or try your local library! (Amazon US) (Kindle Unlimited)…
