I’m back!

Spring means another series of lectures at the Penn Hills Library and I couldn’t be more excited about this round of topics.

And though I’ve been scarce around here, content will also resume shortly.

Without further ado:

Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier:  Mad Love

 The turbulent offscreen romance between Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier lasted a lifetime—throughout their marriage, divorce, and Vivien’s descent into mental illness.  Along the way, she starred as Scarlett in Gone with the Wind, and he set a standard for Hamlet that remains unmatched.  Learn about the lives and films of two of Hollywood’s most sophisticated legends.
