He looks like a swarthy Douglas Fairbanks Jr., is as British as young Douglas Fairbanks tries to be. When Olivier was acting with Katharine Cornell in No Time for Comedy, Vivien Leigh used to nag Director Fleming to speed up Gone With the Wind so she could fly to Manhattan and Laurence Olivier. When Vivien Leigh flew to Atlanta, for the premiere of Gone With...
