Didn't know Vivien Leigh suffered from depression...I guess I wasn't a fan after all..
ReplyDeleteMost of them do, Catherine Zeta Jones is bipolar, for example. James Norton is diabetic etc.
DeleteIn Vivien e la fiorista sboccia una storia delicata in cui i sentimenti, come i fiori, trovano il coraggio di aprirsi anche dopo l’inverno.
ReplyDeleteBuona giornata
Buona giornata, Silvia
DeleteCarla is nice, but not as beautiful as Vivian
ReplyDeleteOy, I kinda thought Gugino is actually prettier LOL
DeleteParece ser um bom filme, tem um bom elenco, Dezmond abraços.
ReplyDeleteAbracos, Lucimar
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteShe was, but I haven't watched that one.
DeleteI had no idea she had bipolar disorder. My brother has that too.
ReplyDeleteSo many people do.
