That's a good actor, not a star, star is the one with the most popularity or charisma, style , or some characteristic that is attractive about them which pulls more and more people to the theatres. In her case it is her lively and innocent eyes that he is describing that sort of makes men believe that she needs them in a heroic way to save her from her distress and be her saviour , same way beauty and the beast was something that appealed to women, made them believe as a saviour, who wanted to save someone like the cursed prince from his distress and sorrow.
She was said to be an articulate and sharp witted lady. Great actress and beauty of her time. He didn't know that he's conversing with a tiger. Also Vivien Leigh was unwell in this interview. ❤
That dude could not read the room. She laughed at his comments like - the audacity! And a very, very good actress. She was there to be interviewed and you can see the shift in her face when he mentions and compares other actresses.
I often confuse Kenneth Tynan (the interviewer) with Bosley Crowther and Rex Reed. All 3 were mean and evil, especially in their film and theater reviews of female actresses. I'm glad they're all dead. But Vivien and her work will always be timeless. She's a true star and that's why we're all adoring her today. Long Live the English Rose, Lady Olivier ❤❤❤
The guy is Kenneth Tynan who criticised Vivien unjustly all thru out her stage career and only admitted he went too far after her death. Tynan adored Olivier but had no love for Vivien his wife and an equal but diffirent kind of talent!
You're taking her quote out of context. She didnt say men aren't important. She said not only men are important. She said men women and children are important.
It’s still a silly question, but that was his point. Men being convinced they need her. He’s not saying she needs to work for it or anything, just that her charm and looks and star quality convince men they need her.
I love all our icons like Brando, Dean, Marylin, Gene Kelly but this was simply one of the most ELOQUENT way to completely insult someone lol that I've ever witnessed and I'm in love 🥲
She’s right- a star needs the admiration of men, women and children. Witness Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. Women admired them as much as men did. Perhaps for different reasons 😊
I miss when people spoke and looked like this!!! Now it's all "for meeeeeeeeee like iiiiiiiiiaaaaaii like personallyyyyyyyyy like... like I feeeeeeeel like"
In some movies it is depicted that men had a separate room where they went to smoke and drink, but during the time when this interview was filmed, almost everyone smoked and it was believed to be healthy. 😂
Viven Lee played Scarlet O'Hara so damn good that every interview I see her in I think she's a real bitch when she isn't. That's a great actress for you! Lol.❤
She had TB and when filming Elephant Walk in 1953 was hospitalized for a breakdown and had ECT electro shock treatment. She was a beautiful , talented actress , but had major heath issues. I loved her in Gone With The Wind.
Umm…. I think what he meant was that a true actress can create an illusion basically. With regard to the idea of feeling needed, it simply reflects the male ego and desire to be the supporter. I don’t think his question was coming from a chauvinistic mindset, but rather the era…
This guy was so wrong. I've seen this whole interview. He said Vivien was TYPECAST because she played both Scarlett in GWTW and Blanche in Streetcar. How could he think that these two Southern females are the same? characters Goofball.
I love it when she laughed at his question! That man is so full of his own imagined importance. What a scream.
Isn't that the truth.❤
@@WVgirl1959❤❤😂😂😂😊
Isn’t he an over the top screwball, trying to play Rhett Butler for the world. Where do they find these nut jobs.
She was so restrained. Kept thinking of her line as Scarlett O'Hara, "Oh, if I just wasn't a lady, what wouldn't I tell that varmint!"
Wasn’t he what we call a narcissist?
He got it completely wrong, I'd say a star is someone who can convince everyone in the audience that they need her, not the other way round!
Exactly
I agree with you....he has it so wrong...that's why she laughed ...he is an idiot
I think it can work both ways, depending on the actor.
Narcissist interviewer
he's a jackass
A gay man asking an incredibly skilled actress a question like that was comical.. and she laughed at the insinuation… loved her❤❤❤
And she lied, men were very important to her, infact she left her child for a man 😂🤣
Miss Vivien Leigh was ahead of her time
She was bipolar and had mental health issues her entire life.
In love with his own voice, he doesn't even look at her...
Obviously HIS definition of a 'star' is a beautiful woman who needs him.
She was unequivocally beautiful even then
"My goodness, Ken!" 😂😂😂
Hahaha 😅
@@leeanneyoungman8028?
Exactly, he is a twit.
A star is one that can convince you that they are the person they are portraying.
That's a good actor, not a star, star is the one with the most popularity or charisma, style , or some characteristic that is attractive about them which pulls more and more people to the theatres.

It seems to me that this guy was closeted gay at the time and trying to convince himself and other women that women are not important.
Good observation
I thought the same thing! Or feeling envious of the women who could get all these men to desire them
Definitely a possibility.
The root of Tynan's envy of Vivien Leigh was his desperate wish to be Larry's Lady Olivier.
She answered with class and decisively what is surely a egoistic male question.
And a pretty suspicious male at that...
@@HC-cb4yp😮😂😅
@@HC-cb4ypsuspicious?
She was 100% right
He is being so rude to deminute and depreciate actresses work like this
Yes he’s a complete ass, crack hole and all.
She was ahead of the times! Bravo 👏👏👏👏Viven !
He is so obnoxiously camp...Vivien totally wipes the floor with his ego.

he did that deliberately to get a reaction. Kenneth was a naughty bit 😂
She's one of the rare species in Actors who can overshadow Marlon Brando in a movie, I watched "A Streetcar Named Desire" and man 🙌🙌🙌
She was brilliant in Streetcar. Spine-tinglingly raw.
She did not overshadow Brando in Streetcar named desire-he was alluring- couldn't take my eyes off him
She did. She entirely did @@irinacapsa6412
@@irinacapsa6412I'd say they played off each other perfectly. The right love-hate chemistry.
@@irinacapsa6412agree. Marlon is too alluringly charismatic to be overshadowed.
Wow. She was cool.❤
Thank you for saying that Vivian!!!!!
Vivien.
Omg who IS this guy? He's like a character straight out of an SNL skit.
Chauncey Pooftah Innatailpipe.
he's a clown....
joking, he's a famous journalist from UK. Famous with controversial issues, tho...
He was the status quo then
He was the first person to say fuck on television.
His best William F. Buckley Jr. impression.
I often confuse Kenneth Tynan (the interviewer) with Bosley Crowther and Rex Reed.

❤❤❤
Oh dear! For everyone that died a thousand rose up to take their place.
Queen. ❤
Ken seems obsessed by men ... 🤦♂️
You seem obsessed with ken.
😂
Aren't most men? 😂
You think?
The guy is Kenneth Tynan who criticised Vivien unjustly all thru out her stage career and only admitted he went too far after her death. Tynan adored Olivier but had no love for Vivien his wife and an equal but diffirent kind of talent!
Because Tynan had an love affair with Olivier and he hated his wife
@@saarlooswolfhund6237 man I need some sources
@@saarlooswolfhund6237 Yes, Olivier was bisexual and had affairs with Danny Kaye, Marlon Brando and Noel Coward among others
Crazy how in the past actors sounded like they were acting even in real life
They do that nowadays too, it didn't happen only in the past.
"I don't think men are that terribly important..." That's MY kind of "feminism."
Vivien wasn't a feminist. Actually one of her greatests friends were Winston Churchill. Feminism is not exclusively about the 'women's rights'.
Said with that “Scarlett O’Hara” facial expression. 🎉
@@arthurmaestrini4350 Exactly.
She left her child for a man 😂
Ya what did men ever do in the world?🤦
Vivien Leigh is now my favorite actress. 😂
What a pri k. I love how she just laughed 😂
You're taking her quote out of context. She didnt say men aren't important. She said not only men are important. She said men women and children are important.
He doesn’t know what seduction is.
The level between Vivien and this narcissistic man is like the golden sun vs a worm
Not "she needs me". The audience feels like that they want her. Hes too egoistic to admit that.
What the hell
She doesn't need men , men needs her
👏👏😊
It’s still a silly question, but that was his point. Men being convinced they need her. He’s not saying she needs to work for it or anything, just that her charm and looks and star quality convince men they need her.

Its the year 2023 I'm watching streetcar dires she blowing my mind she is billance
Amazing artist❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ewwww this guy just ewwwww - NO WONDER she went OFF on him. She's a literal MASTER.
She aged really well
She didn't live long enough to 'age'.
@walkingwithheather well 56 is not young
Didn't get all those procedures, took mature roles in _Ship of Fools_and _Roman Spring,_ rather than trying to pretend she was still ingenue material.
@@trancos7641 She was only 53.
I adore her!
I miss when people spoke and looked like this!!! Now it's all "for meeeeeeeeee like iiiiiiiiiaaaaaii like personallyyyyyyyyy like... like I feeeeeeeel like"
Well someone's envious 😁😂😂. ❤️ Vivien.
I have NO fucking idea what he is talking about.
Neither does he.
Beautiful, just beautiful
Love Vivien.
I didn't know that men can smoke in front of women at that time 😳
I always thought it as a bad thing for men to do
SIR YOU ARE NO GENTLEMAN
Nonsense
What do you mean in front of women? At the time everyone smoked, both men and women.
@@jelena7440 sorry I had no idea .. I'm Egyptian, and it was very bad and Impolite for man to smoke in front of women or old people at that time
@@esraaelbassuony7051 oh, my apologies than. I had no idea.

She was so beautiful ❤️
Ken Tynan projecting
What a Pratt!
Kenneth Tynan hated her so much, and I’ve never understood why that is.
I think he was in love with her although he knew she was married.
Tynan envied Vivien Leigh. For years he seethed with envy because he longed to be Lady Olivier.
Hermosa Vivien.❤
This man has it backwards. She and Garbo radiate an attraction that makes people want them.
Today Ken would be arguing that Dylan Mulvaney is the ideal of womanhood, not Monroe, Garbo or Leigh.
Lmfao i kove that shes so dumbfounded by his question
Who was that interviewer? Tool
I think he was the first person to say the "f" word on TV and it has been down hill ever since.
That guy was really addicted to nicotine ! Sucking on that cig!
and he died because of them...
Its incredible, they air a program with a host talking and.. smoking??!? :)))
Thats how it was back then. Perfectly normal. Being an ex smoker of 19 years, thank goodness it isn't anymore! 🚬
Most people smoked when this was filmed.
Ken got it backwards. A star can convince everyone that they are worthy of love and adoration. They're captivating. That's still the point today.
Viven Lee played Scarlet O'Hara so damn good that every interview I see her in I think she's a real bitch when she isn't. That's a great actress for you! Lol.❤
She is born from natural actress
The question reveals more about him than Vivian Lee.
Something about the cadence of her speech reminds me of Princess Diana in this interview.
Omg she was just beautiful talented just classy
Vivien Leigh...that smile.
She didnt mean it that way. The way the caption is emplying.
Look at how he holds that cigarette.
We miss you, Vivian
Vivien.
He's pushing for something vulgar. A brilliant mind- and such a ghastly person.
Hehe she did more in one movie than Garbo did in all of hers!
OUCH!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That gorgeous Sigma woman just handed his ass to him!!! LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s what he imagines straight men are thinking but she set him straight alright
When i was a child i thought elizabeth taylor was vivien leigh.
its so hard to take him seriously omg
He didn't fathom how powerful a real lady is when the big screen released her beautiful & authoritive charm from the confines of local community.
Way ahead of her time
She had TB and when filming Elephant Walk in 1953 was hospitalized for a breakdown and had ECT electro shock treatment. She was a beautiful , talented actress , but had major heath issues. I loved her in Gone With The Wind.
That's blanche Dubois.
She was all Scarlett O'Hara here, imo
That's how men respond to beauty. It's not anything the woman does! lol
Love her
Hottest woman in history
Thanks
Beautiful lady
Umm…. I think what he meant was that a true actress can create an illusion basically. With regard to the idea of feeling needed, it simply reflects the male ego and desire to be the supporter. I don’t think his question was coming from a chauvinistic mindset, but rather the era…
" Oh Ken, you are soooo gay! What must your husband say?"
Her Received Pronunciation sounds so refined
It's Heightened RP, which is fading out of existence. The queen spoke that way and King Charles does somewhat, but Prince William does not.
Different take: Ken’s repressed and projecting his own fantasies onto her.
Miss Vivian was a Scorpio. Don't ever ask us the truth. He got owned!😂❤
Talk about the patriarchy, wow. Love her answers.
Talk shows asked the most stupid questions back in the day😂😭 why tf would u have the need to ask a guest that lmao
Ken looks like Wallace of Wallace & Grommet fame.
Lol! I thought the same thing, only Wallace is nice, this guy is a creep.
He was saying something spot on, she missed it I think.
This guy was so wrong. I've seen this whole interview. He said Vivien was TYPECAST because she played both Scarlett in GWTW and Blanche in Streetcar. How could he think that these two Southern females are the same? characters Goofball.
She thought a man was “important” when she split up her marriage -and his- to get Sir Lawrence Olivier.
❤😍❤❤❤
Great interviewer 💙
Who is that guy??😂😂
I think he was a film critic.
they are thag important. i love men.
That's What A Woman, A Bombshell with Acumen! Julie Newmar the Same, that Sharp witt and Dominatrix Vibe, What more could U Ask For!
