Why Vivien Leigh's Only Daughter Refused to Talk About Her Mother

Vivien Leigh won two Oscars for Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, yet her only daughter Suzanne Farrington chose a life of almost total silence about her mother. This Gilded Fate film focuses on their mother-daughter relationship, Leigh's bipolar illness in 1940s-60s Hollywood, and why Suzanne guarded the Vivien Leigh archive instead of selling it. Original commentary and timeline built from letters and biographies. Do you think silence protected her or erased her? Tell us below.
