Hi all! 🤍 When I first filmed this video I was unsure about how to best address the racism and harmful legacy of Gone With the Wind. At the time I felt that directing viewers to a NYT article in the description box was the best way to show reverence for this fact but in hindsight I do wish I had taken a few moments to address it within the video itself. I encourage any viewers to take a moment to read the following article that helped me better understand the real impact that GWTW had on our society and how that impact has harmed Black communities and people: www.nytimes.com/2020/06/14/movies/gone-with-the-wind-battle.html Thank you, Ashley
I just found your channel. Vivian Leigh has always been one of my favorite actresses since seeing her in Gone with the Wind many years ago. I’ve read the book twice and have seen the film many many times over the years. Her beauty took my breath away. I had read about her bipolar disorder about her having bipolar disorder. Maybe in today’s world treatment would have given her some peace. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Honestly, I think we do not need to apologize for or try to change the FACTS of history. Rather, the enlightened approach is to "TEACH A CHILD (by word and deed) in the (Godly) ways that he/she should go. Then when old, he/she will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 Ex: tearing down statues, that deserve to remain, as examples of true leaders or a particular battle, etc. (NOT saying ALL do). "A nation that forgets its past has no future." Sir Winston Churchill "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." George Santayana
I'm a Vivien Leigh fan. She is my favorite actress and the most beautiful of all. You did a great job and I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for such a great tribute. I also enjoyed the makeup tributary. Wonderful.
You re a genuine, kind person. It comes through how you speak of others, peers and famous people alike. SO enjoyed this video. Vivien is one of my favorites, along with Greer Garson, Norma Shearer, and Myrna Loy. Thanks for the wonderful biography! 💜
Thank you so much Mary! I strive to be kind and genuine so that means the world to me! ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoyed this episode! I will definitely add Greer, Norma, and Myrna to the list! 🥰
My mother was born in 1923. She spent many years in CA in show business as an actress. When she was 16, she and her mother met David O. Selznick where he gave her a very small speaking part in a scene with Joan Fontaine in “Rebecca” which he and Alfred Hitchcock were working on together. Hitchcock wanted another actress for the part and because they couldn’t agree on the actress, they cut the part. My mother had even been fitted for the dress for the part. When my mother showed up at the studio, she met Hitchcock. He asked her if she was British. When she replied no, he replied that’s a shame. In 2015, when going through my mother’s memorabilia, I found the script for the part my mother read for. It was in an envelope marked David O. Selznick Studio.
I don't think Joan Fontaine was British either. Her mother was. I believe Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland were born in Japan? And their mother moved them to Saratoga, California. I know Saratoga very well, because I was born in Palo Alto. Interesting background. What a thrill for your mother!
@@susandraluck25 Oh gosh, I barely said anything. I don't know much about Selznick. Hitchcock, on the other hand, had some sicko thing about blondes. He tortured Tippy Hedrin. Poor Kim Novak. She seems to have come through working with Hitch okay, even with her bipolar disorder. He was a mixed bag. 🥴
You’re insanely gorgeous and the storytelling is so captivating! I would love to see Barbara Stanwyck, Loretta Young, Claudette Colbert, Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer and so many more!! Keep up with the good work 💕
What a moving story of love, acceptance, and compassion.If left in the hands of the wrong people her life could have been a tragic one. You see these Hollywood stars receiving prestigious awards, walking red carpets, you see their beauty and handsome counterparts and you think they must live a fairytale life. That is the farthest thing from the truth. They tirelessly craft their skills, fight for their roles, hold to their convictions, battle their insecurities and fears. Love seems to escape some but she lived a life supported in the strength of true love! Well done Ashley, you do these so beautifully you have a serious gift it is wonderful to behold it done in a way that honors these amazing woman who are so deeply imbedded in our hearts and the history of film!!! Bravo Ashley!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Happy Friday Maureen! 🥰 so true!! There truly is no such thing as an “overnight success”! It takes so much work and energy! Thank you so much for your kind words! I absolutely love researching these women and bringing their stories to life so it just is the best thing in the world to hear that it is enjoyable to watch! I feel like I’ve found such a fulfilling purpose in telling these stories! 🥰 I hope you have a fantastic weekend!!
I had all intentions of listening to a podcast on my commute tonight. I’m so excited that I found this instead. Thank you for keeping me company on my drive.
Ashley I have just discovered your channel and let me tell you, what a eloquence, the work behind your videos and the kind spirit that shines through, very well done, thank you ( the make up is incredible too )
I've always admired Vivien Leigh and felt so bad when she and Lawrence broke up -- you, Ashley, brought it to life and I cried along with you -- thank you for all your insights into Vivien's sometimes tragic life.
Ok, you had me tearing up at the end, girl... 😢😭🤧. LOVED this video. Mental health struggles, true love, passion, loss, and the journey to be taken seriously sounds like a complicated but real life. Great job, Ashley! (Fellow water sign here, Pisces, aka emotional...lol) 😊💜
Hi Robbie Lou! 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed this one!! It was such a pleasure to make - I didn’t know much about Vivien before I did the research for this video but wow what a life... I’ll happily share my tissues with you any day! 🥰
I'm a Pisces too! Maybe that's why I really like your channel Ashley. I just subscribed when watching your Gene Tierney episode a few minutes, ago. Great stuff!♓ ✨
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much! I have been a huge fan of Vivien Leigh ever since I saw her in Gone with the Wind when I was 4 years old. Love everything and the way you did the make up back then! 😍😍
Another great job! This look is stunning on you too! You are glowing in the best way. I fell in love with Vivien and Scarlett 🌹when I was a young girl. It was great learning more about her ljfe
Vivien Leigh, since the first time I watched her on the big screen, always captured my imagination and I hold her at the top of the pantheon of actres of all times. Thank you for this video ...
I adore Vivien but had no 💡 she had such a complicated life. This was so informative and i loved all the pictures.Please do Lana Turner and Judy Harland
I recently found your channel and love make-up+biography series. Not sure if you're taking a break or I'm way late to the party? but they're really good!
Thankyou for your lovely makeup tutorials as well as your memories from musicals and wonderful plays and I love 💕 your beauty facials too so much lovely lady !💝💆
I have just binged most of your beauty biographies and this was my favorite. The makeup looks amazing on you, even without the lipstick!! Just so fresh and glowing. I also appreciate the care you take to humanize these beauties! ❤
I am a big fan of Vivien Leigh and have learned more about her from this video. Was very interested in another one of yours about Gene Tierney. I've just seen these two so far. You do a wonderful job! So glad to have found your channel! Fascinated by your simultaneous make-up application as you present.
Ashley, I found your series by accident-a happy accident. Very informative and surprisingly entertaining as I became mesmerized watching your makeup application! I’d love to know if you have a UA-cam video in which you discuss your makeup regimen and tips😊
Hi and welcome!! Thank you so much for your kind words! 💖 I do have several videos on my makeup routine, my most in depth one is here - ua-cam.com/video/MPeZd23JJd8/v-deo.html
Have you done Judy Garland? I have just found you today and I am loving these!! Thank you! I needed to watch something other than true crime and decorating 😂
Thank you for the amazing videos you produce, I have been binge watching and you have captured the actresses in a way that is like knowing them personally. I have to compliment you on the wonderful makeup you do while talking about the actresses and their lives, the effort you put into your videos really shows!❤
You really killed it Ashley, excellent from beginning to end! I seem to have the same eye irritation you have at the end of your videos... I just hate to see them go I guess :)
And by the way, thank you for teaching me how to use the egg shaped sponge, I watch every stroke of your makeup application. I'm a foundation girl. It's like we are visiting friends on our way out for the night. Just having a girl talk while getting ready.🥰🌹🫂
I am new to your channel and have so thoroughly enjoyed catching up on all of you wonderful videos. Vivien Leigh and Joan Fontaine are my favorite actresses. I just celebrated my 76th Cancerian birthday on June 28th and the sentimentality and tearing up only increase with age. I love being that way. Just keep the hankies handy because it only means you have a kind, loving, open and tender heart. God bless.
😢 Vivian was my favorite and will always remain my favorite there is gone with the wind memorabilia out in my home I shall never forget her wonderful actress one of the most beautiful women in the world she's now at peace God rest her in your arms sweet Jesus
This is a genius idea! I am hooked! I love this so so much. As a Gen X'er I grew up completely in Awe of Marilyn Monroe and watching all the "old timey" movies because of my mom. I super Love old Hollywood and this is just a brilliant idea. P.S. don't feel bad, I too dropped a few tears at the end of this story.
YOU! Are amazing! I love your messages and commentary! I just now chanced upon you! I was a cosmetology instructor for a time in my life and this was a project that our students were assigned for hours and communications grade! I wish they could see how you’ve applied the project to your life!!! I really enjoy learning about these beauties! Thank you! ❤
I just discovered your videos a few days ago. So glad there are a lot that I have not yet seen. Like gifts waiting for me to open. I don’t just like the videos, I feel as sense of admiration for the person you come across as you share your opinions and sentiments. Thank you!
Birthday twin. Us Scorpios,especially us November Scorpios,are a hearty bunch. She went through so much.Even with the issues with GWTW I enjoy it.I've decided my love of classic literature and old studio films means issues are a part of the package so why not enjoy them and the discussion around them.
Those who deny history are doomed to repeat it. History is essential to our understanding of where we've been and where we're going. Ignorance is not bliss. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, Ignorance is as ignorance does. 😊
Leslie Howard was filming Intermezzo the same time as Gone With the Wind. He hated the role of Ashley Wilkes as he thought it sissified for a man to be so indecisive and sentimental about romance, especially with a war going on. He joked the Confederate Officer uniform made him look like a doorman at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. I believe Lawrence Olivier's ashes were scattered in the lake where Vivian's were, at Joan Plowright's OK. Articles about her are very conflicting, as you must know yourself by now. None of these people were simple . Talented, creative people are something of a law unto themselves, which is why Fire Over England is such an example of how 2 lovers can create the passion to save an Empire and pay dearly for their trouble. If I want to cry, I just think of Vivian on Waterloo Bridge at the end of that little masterpiece. Thank, Ashley, for this wonderful nostalgia tripping and your obvious empathy for these people.
I'm crying, too. Wow, such a beautiful tribute to Vivian and Lawrence. Their love was true love. Vivian let Lawrence go to have a more serene life due to her illness.
Great storytelling! Vis your good life advice: in her unfiltered 90s my mother confessed (with no guile) she thought I (my birth, that is) would save my parents' marriage 🙄 *eye roll*. Not. He divorced her when I was 3 and my father died when I was six. Poor ma.
This was a beautiful episode. I was crying at the end as well. I'm new to your channel, so if you haven't done Judy Garland, I would love to see your historical take on her.
I’m new and have been watching these videos. I see these are two years old. Will you be making anymore in the future? They have been very interesting and I’d love to keep watching other Beaty biographies.
I saw the Marilyn Monroe, assuming it was the first one...??? This one I loved lots also. Have I missed any? Love the classics. Thank you. P.S. I just scrolled and saw you have talked about quite a few. Will see them as soon as!!!!
Thank you so much Flor! 🥰 I’m so glad you found the others! I have a playlist on my channel homepage too where they’re all together. Thank you for watching! 🤍

i thought it was a book abt people fighting against racism and slavery. this movie has no harmful legacy. it's useless to deny history.

And by the way, thank you for teaching me how to use the egg shaped sponge, I watch every stroke of your makeup application.

Thank you Cee Cee!! 🥰 I didn’t know either about Vivien and Laurence!!! I can’t believe I didn’t but I had like no clue
It was wonderful to hear the most entertaining knowledge of these iconic actors, very interesting!
I would love to see Beauty Biography do a story on Deanna Durbin. She was a favorite of mine when I was 10 years old. Thank you!
I am new to your channel and have so thoroughly enjoyed catching up on all of you wonderful videos. Vivien Leigh and Joan Fontaine are my favorite actresses. I just celebrated my 76th Cancerian birthday on June 28th and the sentimentality and tearing up only increase with age. I love being that way. Just keep the hankies handy because it only means you have a kind, loving, open and tender heart. God bless.
thanks for this one!
Love this video!
Thank you Marlene! 🥰
The most beautiful woman ever !
😢 Vivian was my favorite and will always remain my favorite there is gone with the wind memorabilia out in my home I shall never forget her wonderful actress one of the most beautiful women in the world she's now at peace God rest her in your arms sweet Jesus
Great job , fantastic story telling and amazing details about her life that I did not know ❤
Thankyou lovely lady z!💆😍

I don’t just like the videos, I feel as sense of admiration for the person you come across as you share your opinions and sentiments. Thank you!

where did you get those to die for pearl earrings!!
I'm crying, too. Wow, such a beautiful tribute to Vivian and Lawrence. Their love was true love. Vivian let Lawrence go to have a more serene life due to her illness.
Great video! Great make-up to!
I love the fact the director was like "she's way too British" literally 3 out of the 4 main characters are played by British actors.
Right?!? 😂🤣
Great storytelling! Vis your good life advice: in her unfiltered 90s my mother confessed (with no guile) she thought I (my birth, that is) would save my parents' marriage 🙄 *eye roll*. Not. He divorced her when I was 3 and my father died when I was six. Poor ma.

This was a beautiful episode. I was crying at the end as well. I'm new to your channel, so if you haven't done Judy Garland, I would love to see your historical take on her.
I’m new and have been watching these videos. I see these are two years old. Will you be making anymore in the future? They have been very interesting and I’d love to keep watching other Beaty biographies.
I saw the Marilyn Monroe, assuming it was the first one...??? This one I loved lots also. Have I missed any? Love the classics. Thank you.
P.S. I just scrolled and saw you have talked about quite a few. Will see them as soon as!!!!
Marilyn wasn’t the first. There are others to check out.
Thank you so much Flor! 🥰 I’m so glad you found the others! I have a playlist on my channel homepage too where they’re all together. Thank you for watching! 🤍
