Two page article by Lucy Davies from The Daily Telegraph, 2 September 2017, about the relationship between Vivien Leigh and photographer Cecil Beaton, whose archive at Sotheby's contains some 100 portraits of the actress. They were close friends from 1941 to the early 1950s, sharing a love for the theatre, and the article discusses how their relationship was latterly damaged by Leigh's mental problems and professional jealousies between Beaton and the Oliviers. Illustrated with four B&W photographs.
