Frieda Inescort Vivien Leigh 101 established as a very fine actress, and you’ll see her opposite Laurence Olivier in “ Pride and Prejudice." Elizabeth Allan started her public acting career at that famous playhouse. The Old Vic. She has appeared in many British and American films, some of her best being “ A Woman Rebels," “ Camille," and as Mrs. Copperfield in the film of Charles Dickens’ story, " David Copperfield." Vivien Leigh will probably be paged in film history for her portrayal of Scarlett O'Hara in “ Gone With the Wind.” It was a very good per- formance she gave, but like so many more things associated with that costly film, values were over- rated. Certainly Vivien Leigh had some magnificent scenes, and she played them finely. Anna Neagle certainly made film history by her performances in “ Victoria the Great,” and “ Sixty Glorious Years,” in both films playing the part of Queen Victoria. In these memorable pictures she appeared as Queen Victoria as a young girl and as an old woman, and I have never seen the changing years so perfectly portrayed on stage or screen as in Anna Neagle’s performances. It was not just the make-up, though that was indeed wonderful, but Anna grew old by her walk and her talk. Not to have seen Anna Neagle in these two films is to have missed a great deal. Naturally, she made good in Hollywood, because her two Victoria films had created something of a sensation in America. Also they made money. Her latest film “ Irene " proves her versatility. Wendy Barrie is another British actress who was born abroad, Hong Kong being her birthplace. Three London born stars are Binnie Barnes, Muriel Angelus and Virginia Field. Binnie Barnes had an Italian mother, from whom she inherited her love for dancing, though her early ambition was to be a nurse. The stage claimed her and she began her screen career in 1929. Her 1940 films include “ Frontier Marshal ” and ” Daytime Wife.” Muriel Angelus, though born and educated in London, Virginia Field O Left : An informal snapshot
