This isn't so much a question but since you wrote a book about Vivien Leigh's life I am trying to research her ancestry because my paternal grandmothers maiden name was Hartley and she was born in Yorkshire, England. I would like to find out if I could possibly be related to Vivien Leigh?

Hi Robin,
It's possible that you are! Much of her father's family lived in Bridlington. Perhaps you can try Ancestry.com in the first instance, and I'm sure you an find out more in local registries in and around the area where your grandmother was from.
Best of luck, and please let me know how you get on with your search!

Hi Kendra :) do you have any advice on getting in contact with people that worked with or personally knew a celebrity for interviews etc.? As a young classic film fan without substantial experience hoping to eventually publish a book, I feel like a lot of important people won't take me seriously. Thanks so much!
