   VIVIEN & THE FLORIST 
VIVIEN LEIGH BIOPIC WITH CARLA GUGINO  
Nick Sandow's movie VIVIEN & THE FLORIST with Carla Gugino as Vivien Leigh has finished shooting exploring Leigh’s struggle with bipolar disorder in the 1960s, as she prepares to lead the Broadway production of John Gielgud’s (David Hyde Pierce) Chekhov adaptation of Ivanov. Leigh collides with Joseph Penn (Matthew Modine), a WWII  veteran and florist who encounters Leigh on a delivery. At the same time, the star attends a local psychiatric facility for electroconvulsive therapy. Amidst the backdrop of madness Leigh and Penn become each other’s sources of truth, beauty, and love. Jack Davenport is Laurence Olivier with Eoin Macken also in the cast.

    1. Most of them do, Catherine Zeta Jones is bipolar, for example. James Norton is diabetic etc.

  2. In Vivien e la fiorista sboccia una storia delicata in cui i sentimenti, come i fiori, trovano il coraggio di aprirsi anche dopo l’inverno.
    Buona giornata

  5. I haven't seen Carla in much of anything over the years. Was she in House of Usher? I think that was the last time I saw her work. Before that, I only remember her from that wacky Pauly Shore movie about a farm life in the 90's.
