She didn't abandoned her child - in fact she sent her to Canada during the war. Vivien herself did not have the best example of motherhood being sent to a convent at 4. Indeed, Olivier said "Only two Christian Martyrs could have resisted their passion." Also, divorce was taboo then so I am not sure either could keep their children. Suzanne loved her in spite of the early years.
The picture in your thumbnail for this video is of Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon - NOT Vivien Leigh? It's a still from Wuthering Heights. You really know your stuff!!
Heartbreaking to hear of her own childhood - how could one leave their child at 5 in a convent and not visit her - indeed, she needed a mother.
Susan Jarboe she left her own daughter with the father and ran off with Olivier. The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Simple! She was a human being!
thats not picture of V Leigh its Merle Oberon
Au fost minunati ,pacat ca au divortat ,sau iubit foarte mult !
Olivier was a selfish man.
@rachelij Ummm no he wasn't. He may not have been an ideal father, but that does not make him terrible. And his son does in fact love him by the way.
The woman pictured with Olivier is Merle Oberon, not Vivien Leigh.
Oliviers sin must not have thought much of his “dad”
He called him Larry
Very sad
A bunch of people got hurt out of that, not least his son.
People moaned on Vivien playing Scarlett O Hara because she wasnt American But thats whats acting is all about .Acting

he oozes sex but he should have been fatithful to his wife. and be good to his child
What's with the reptoid eye effects?
@PadrethePio Yes he did.
Ok... Olivier and Leigh were made for each other - both terrible people! LOL
Actually rather true!!!
They may have been great actors but were horrible parents/ spouses.... selfish
Vivien was utterly tormented, you can’t imagine what she was suffering with. Those that knew her adored her. That says a lot.
@PadrethePio Why would he? He was a terrible father. I worship him as an actor, but you can't deny that.
I think laurence olivier was a monumental schmuck and that's putting it mildly ! I didn't like his acting either he was over the top!!
