Her other credits includedWaterloo Bridge,Anna Karenina, andThat Hamilton Woman.
Leigh was also known for her relationshipLaurence Olivier.
Leigh and Olivier wed in 1940, and she had her first major mental breakdown in the mid-1940s.

That hasn’t stopped filmmakers, however.
Morgan Brittany portrayed Leigh in three different screen projects from 1976 to 1980.
