“The Vivien Leigh room”
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Chapter 6 looks beyond the international and national stories of Vivien Leigh’s archives to examine her presence within one specific region: the South West of England. The chapter explores material collections in regional museums that house a range of artifacts and ephemera related to Leigh’s life. Through Leigh’s first in-laws, the Devon-based Holman family, a material history of her presence in the region has been retained and displayed in a range of local museums, including one founded by her former sister-in-law, Dorothy Holman. By delving into these museums and their collections and working closely with their curators, the chapter examines alternative stories of Leigh’s stardom. It considers the vernacular articulations of global stardom in local environments for local audiences, developed by distinctly localized curatorial agendas.
