 : Sir Laurence Olivier outside Strand Theatre, London


Sir Laurence Olivier outside Strand Theatre, London

Jun. 06, 1960 - For five days, ever since she returned from New York, Vivien Leigh has hope for a meeting with her husband, Sir Laurence Olivier, but it has not come. Even Vivien, Britain's greatest actress, can hide it no longer - she knows there can be no reconciliation. She is expected to see her solicitors today to discuss a divorce before she returns to New York on Sunday. Lady Olivier said in a statement in New York last month that Sir Laurence, 53, has asked her fora divorce so that he can marry actress Joan Plowright, 29, his former leading lady. Photo shows Sir Laurence Olivier seen as he arrived at the Strand Theatre yesterday where he is appearing in Rhinoceros
