Someday we’ll all be just memories. Hopefully we all find someone who speaks of us the way Sir Patrick speaks of Vivien
Yeah, ... the human conundrum of transience... And to think... Conan would even go so far and ruin Sir Patrick's hanky with some of that mispronounced JOOP, 😆...
Many millions have been forgotten about. It is very common to pass on and leave nothing behind. Enjoy life while it lasts.
They say we die twice. The first time when our physical being expires the second time when our name is spoken for the last time. Vivien Leigh will never die. Nor will Sir Patrick Stewart.
Well said
Yes. So true. Do you know The Dash Poem by Linda Ellis? It's about how well you lived that line between your year of birth and death.
Vivien Leigh isn't talked about enough, this is amazing.
How much do you think she should be talked about? Constantly? By everyone?
@@jamesmcinnis208 Here's an idea, Marilyn Monroe wanted was a serial abuse victim. Drugged and dragged around. What if Marilyn Monroe wanted peace. Vivien was the type of woman who spoke her mind way ahead of time. That is what I'm saying. IMO People turned the wrong person into a role-model-icon. Perhaps my preference would be she is spoken of more than MM, yes; and perhaps its been that way for years. If you want to discuss the basis of Montgomery Clift's alcoholism or the divahood of a lost icon, this is not the place. Cheers. Excuse me.
@Bibbly53 No, celebrity worship doesn't interest me. In fact, I find it a sad statement on our society that it's actors, athletes, and musicians who are raised to exalted positions and often kept there by sad stories.
@@jamesmcinnis208yet here you are…
@@fireboybx In my hairshirt, kneeling on uncooked rice.
What a lovely way to show Vivien Leigh his respect almost 60 years after her death! Warm and intelligent.
Sir Patrick is such a brilliant storyteller. I wished this interview was 10x longer. And I love how he speaks of Vivien with reverence and love.
This is just a clip of an hour podcast.
And that voice...simply magical
Get the audio book of Sir Patrick Stewart's autobiography, making it so , the stories in it are brilliant .
He tells stories in the typically old English way - and it's sooo endearing.
Yes , I wish that Mr Stewart could have spoken longer !!
Vivien Leigh was an incredible actress and woman.
Kudos to Patrick Stewart for the wonderful anecdote.
I love him describing a remastered film as "smartened up and given a new technology"
The brits have such a beautiful way of talking 🇬🇧🥰
He’s not wrong, though…
I was charmed by this too - but what he's describing would have been fascinating to know the details of. Vivian Leigh died in 1967, so this remaster wouldn't have used any of the digital techniques we think of today. GWTW is an especially tricky negative to work with, because early color filming involved using three strips of film simultaneously running through red, green, and blue filters, so there are 3 negatives, not just 1, and striking prints involved lining them up exactly so the edges of one color didn't bleed into another, which became increasingly difficult as the old negatives started to warp and curl. But this may not have been a remaster at all, just a new print struck from a well-preserved internegative (a copy of the negative made back in the day so you could generate prints of the film without running the delicate original negative through machinery). Even in this case, there was nothing automatic about making prints in the photochemical days, when the brightness and color of the light used to strike the print would have affected the colors of the print.
@@craigrussell3062I was thinking the same thing...actors love anecdotes but autobiographies are notoriously unreliable when it comes to dates and timelines...still...I guess the general idea of the story will be true...if he celebrated his 21 th birthday with her this would have been july 1961..exactly the time she and Jack Merivale( her " boyfriend" as Stewart puts it) embarked on a long internatonal tour with the Old Vic Company....with indeed Patrick Stewart in tow to Australia and beyond.
The print of GWTW they watched would have been the 1961 re-release which had been hyped up by a star studded gala premiere in the US earlier that year also attented by Leigh...
@@nondescript2892 _Great_ additional information! (Thank you.)
One of the benefits of enduring actors like Patrick is that we get to hear these wonderful stories! What a life!!
“The smell was gone, but the memories were still in place.” ❤
"Oh how the ghost of you clings..."
Can we all just thank Conan for being such an amazing host? I just love that he lets his stars share their stories without interrupting them. He’s always the supporting character not the star, Conan’s like the anti-Jimmy Fallon in every way possible.
Yes!
Jimmy Fallon is a child. A very adolescent member of the Television Interviewees Fraternity. Respectlfully submitted for your consideration Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA etats unis
Took Conan a long time to stop interrupting, but yeah. He has come a long way. He's still learning 😃
I love Vivien Leigh. This makes me love her even more. A great actress and a great lady even with all her illnesses
She did speak highly of meeting Ringo Starr on a flight to Australia at the height of Beatlemania.
Vivien.
@@Historian212 autocorrect. Changed now.
@@babywah3290 there is a picture of the two of them waving from the steps of a plane, she is smiling and waving at the Beatle fans lol
I remember that picture. I thought it was his mum!@@paulinegallagher7821
Vivien Leigh was the most beautiful woman in old Hollywood to me. Her in that red dress is unbeatable.
Not only the dress, but also the look in her eyes when she enters the room!
So iconic, and incredibly beautiful. Her performance and beauty made GWTW a true gem. No actress in old Hollywood (or new for that matter) can ever match her.
I don’t think any face has ever been more beautiful in that instance! And the greatest dress in all of human history.
I can’t say enough how enjoyable this was. To hear about Vivian Leigh as well as the humble actors beginnings of Sir Patrick Stewart not affording a suit. This moment is a gem! 💎
It’s so great to hear this side of her. What you so often get is the Vivienne Leigh/Laurence Olivier/Joan Plowright story etc. It’s lovely to hear someone on her side talking so warmly and with genuine affection.
I could listen to Sir Patrick all day long and never feel bored.
I was bored in the first minute.
@@aquatarkus2022That sounds like a you problem.
@@PaulMcElligott 🤣
@@aquatarkus2022you sound like you’ve been bored all your life 😂
@@nameisnotrelevant just since Patrick started speaking.
Vivian Leigh was always my favorite actress glad to hear about her from someone who knew her. My aunt wore Joy perfume.
Joy is a truly mesmerizing scent-it’s been decades since I’ve smelled it on anyone anywhere, so I am unable to conjure up a scent memory of it, but I do remember it was absolutely swoony.
I still have my tiny bottle ❤❤❤❤❤
A boyfriend gave me Joy by Jean Paton about 40 years ago (Sydney, Australia). I thought it was divine. I think I’m going to have to go and buy some - hope it’s still available
Spelling mistake - Jean Patou

Patrick makes this strangely, subtly moving. What a gentleman to speak so lovingly of a long gone star, fragile Vivien Leigh. I hate the modern fashion of slagging off everyone from the past who cannot answer for themselves. Patrick leaves Vivien on her pedestal, indeed he raises her up and burnishes her reputation.
Well said. 💜
Vivien Leigh was a fascinating woman and an incredible actress. Her performance in GWTW is iconic and legendary. She isn't talked about enough. She has always been in my top 5 actresses of all time, and she has always been someone that if I could back in time, what I would give to listen to her speak, witness her beauty and just be in her presence.
As long as it wasn’t a bad bipolar day. Feel bad for here though, not sure if there were good treatment options or diagnosis then.
I was five when I saw, by myself, Gone With the Wind, in a theatre by myself because my mother had a bridge party and no one available to keep me. Must explain my mother’s decision because I had been sitting through movies since I was even younger. Any way, She, and Clark Gable. and Hattie McDaniels left the greatest impression on me. WHAT personalities! The greatest impression was left when Bonnie Blue fell off her horse. It was just then that my mother came to get me, and She and I had a long talk about death. Never forget
😅😅
@jennysmith9134 you are correct. There was no treatment for a bi-polar disorder. Only shock treatments and i don't think that they helped
@@jennysmith9134 Oh no, there were very few treatment options for bipolar then, even Patty Duke suffered from it before the meds came into use.
It’s true, she had a magic onscreen that has never been matched. To be that almost otherworldly gorgeous and such a skilled exquisite actor - wow.
Watching ‘Gone with the Wind’ with Vivien Leigh herself must’ve been the experience of a lifetime.
What a storyteller. Love, Patrick Stewart.
Bullshit !
There’s a film called “Waterloo Bridge” that Vivien Leigh made right after GWTW. It’s one of the best romantic films I’ve seen.
Agree ! It was said to be both Vivien and her co-star Robert Taylor's favourite movie they made.
OMG OMG OMG I love that movie.....
The things done because & for love !
The mother in-law was such a darling & so understanding.
Those metal wheels on the truck the memory of them still chills my bone & makes me shudder. thanks for reminding me of a great movie & Vivien's wondrous performance.
The scene where she is walking among the returning soldiers trying to get a customer and then see Robert Taylor is one of the finest bits of acting ever filmed in my opinion. The gamut of emotions that she displays on her face and in her eyes is amazing but not melodramatic. Great film.
My favorite!
Wasn't as good
As a huge admirer of Ms. Leigh's work and very sympathetic of her struggles, I'm so grateful Sir Patrick has shared this lovely story. 💎 #TeamCoco #ConanOBrienNeedsAFriend #SirPatrickStewart #PatrickStewart #VivienLeigh
Yes, she struggled with bipolar disorder when there weren't the medications we have today to deal with it. Amazing lady.
@@SB-mm9zh Indeed. 🌷
@@auntvesuvi3872 Not indeed, many of us STILL struggle as much as Vivianne did without proper diagnosis or medication.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Recognizing that more people are diagnosed and treated today doesn't mean there aren't many people undiagnosed and unmedicated. Both are so. I wish you the absolute best. 🌱
And it was more stigmatized then.
It’s so beautiful that he noticed she was crying. And how she took his hand!!
Vivien has always been a favorite of mine. Breathtaking beauty and incredible talent. Love her!
Dear, beautiful, so talented Vivien Leigh suffered from a bipolar disorder. And she had tbc. But she was magical in all of her roles.
Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind is one of the top 2 most perfect matches of actor + role in the history of movies. I would say Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music is the other. Where absolutely no one else could have played these roles so perfectly, and where the movies would not have become the iconic cultural landmarks they became.
Ironically, she had to hide her British accent.
Good point. ☝️
"Iconic cultural landmarks" Wow,
I can't believe anyone seriously considers that as iconic
Patrick Stewart is such a good storyteller.
I think it's wonderful he shared that story with such grace and love! She was a brilliant actress and worked hard to be one!!
Hearing about that handkerchief welled me up not bc of how amazing a keepsake it was , but of how Thoughtful. She obviously knew this man was a Gem. #MakeItSo 👊🏻🙌🏻🖖🏻
I absolutely adore Vivien Leigh. I was lucky enough to stand with some of her home furnishings when an art dealer bought some of her stuff. Had it on display in his art gallery ❤
I learned to love "Gone With The Wind" over the years by watching it with my mom repeatedly. It wasn't until many years later that I found out that Vivian Leigh was British!
...love her acting too..she was wonderful in "Anna Karenina"...
My favorite film of all time. Vivian Leigh was the perfect Scarlett O’Hara. Beautiful woman. So sad she suffered from mental illness. Maybe in today’s times she would have had a better outcome with treatment.
The story of selecting the actress has been told many times ❤
I too was shocked that she is British, but who could have played it better.
@@abelgarcia5432She was actually born in Darjeeling, India.
Vivien Leigh was a national treasure. I love this story. How wonderful!
Can't love this enough! Sir Patrick is a wonderful storyteller! As a huge fan of Vivien Leigh, these precious stories mean everything to me! ♡
Gone With the Wind is the greatest movie of all times. I watch it every year. Such a wonderful testimony !
I read the book every couple of years. So beautifully written and so many characters that are not in the movie; I can see why, since the movie was so long as it was.
Nah now you're kidding
I love this. Reminds me of interviews with Peter O’toole and Richard Harris. Fantastic storytelling.
She was amazing. I watched the film in Lismore NSW in 1978. Hottest day of the year. They opened all the windows at the theatre and you believed you were in Georgia. So atmospheric.
...until the damned Yankees charged in...
When it was: "A 1961 release of the film commemorated the centennial anniversary of the start of the Civil War, and it also included a gala "premiere" at the Loew's Grand Theater. It was attended by Selznick and many other stars of the film, including Vivien Leigh and Olivia de Havilland.."
Clark Gable died the previous year.
Amazing. Thank you for digging this up. I was looking on Wikipedia what screening this might've been that Sir Patrick Stewart went to.
Yes, and Leslie Howard died during WW2 and Hattie McDaniel had died 9 years before. I can imagine how emotional that was for her.
I doubt that she was referring to Gable as a friend. She couldn't stand him during the filming. Apparently he had terrible breath, and also stank of cigars. According to Ms. Leigh. OTOH, Leslie Howard was a great friend.
I’m so glad he has these memories. Vivien was an amazing actress. ❤
Patrick can make any story sound memorable his attention to details brings them to life.
What is really nice is Sir Patrick is 83 and he remembers all of that,and the details of Vivien and the hankie and scent of her perfume incredible,and manly. His wife is a fortunate lady.
Patrick has this knack of winding stories. Like old country roads. And you meet all kinds of folks, then end on usually a happy awww moment. It's amazing.
What an amazing storyteller Patrick is. I wasn't sure how this would end. The world doesn't have stars like Vivian anymore.❤
We have Judy Dench here in England. An incredible actress and a very nice person...
@@gemmag.2988 She’s not a superstar and beauty like Vivien though…
@@gauravw6947 She is a superstar but no beauty I agree.
@@gemmag.2988 She hardly qualifies as a superstar, even though she’s a great actress…
Nothing bad must ever happen to Sir Patrick. He's such a nice man and the world is a much better place with him in it.
They say you aren't really dead until after the last time someone speaks your name. By that standard Vivien ought to live forever.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s watching the original Star Trek shows and movies, but Star Trek Next Generation is the one I really connected with. Sir Patrick Stewart is a big reason why I loved that show. He is an amazing actor and storyteller. He will always be my Captain!
Captain Kirk deserves all of the honors.
EXCUSE ME what about DS9??? I know I know, Sisko kinda sucks, but everyone else is amazing, plus it's the one that holds up best today ('cause it's so serial and less episodic). But, yessss, when it comes to captains Picard is the absolute #1 (Numbah One)... Janeway is #2 ❤
Hey nerds, this is literally not about you.
@@robertveith6383 With a doubt! Kirk was my 1st captain! Back in the 70's I would come home from elementary school and watch Star Trek!
@@JackAShepherd I actually liked Sisko. DS9 was different, but I definitely enjoyed it too. Janeway was a great captain too!
You can absolutely tell that Conan is a huge fan of Vivienne Leigh, and definitely Scarlett O'hara!
Vivien Leigh was utterly mesmerising
What wonderful memories of Vivien Leigh.
I saw Vivian Leigh in NYC on Broadway in the early 1960’s in a production of Tovarich with Jean Pierre Aumont.
Lucky!
I read that Vivien won a Tony for Tovarich. Wow, awesome that you were able to see the great Vivien Leigh on stage.
That was an amazing story. Thank you, Sir Patrick.
A first class human being. Love him so much!
The ability of this man to make romance from the most average moment
Also Conan’s ability to bring all down to Joop. Joop Conan JOOP
WOW! What an amazing story! LOVE this Patrick interview!!!
What a lovely story, told with warmth and charm.
I can sit for hours just listening to Sir Patrick Stewart talk memories.
Wow! I've always adored Patrick Stewart - so many memories from Star Trek and I was lucky to see him perform Christmas Carol live. Incredible performances! So touching that he was so young working with Vivian Leigh. He must find some of that perfume and pack it up with her gift. As to Joop - yes! I love that! I've bought it for myself. A KLM flight steward introduced me to Joop!
Absolutely amazing actress and a very intelligent woman. Thank you for sharing this anecdote.
One of my mum's favourite perfume was 'joy' it was really expensive as I recall being told back in the 60s as a child . Its beautiful and I can remember the smell like yesterday .. I was named after Vivien Leigh so when Patrick mentioned this I immediately got a shiver down my spine. Wow x
Joy by Houbigant actually came back for a while in the late 80s. Yes, it was a very 30’s and 40’s fragrance.
@@jimcarlile7238 Joy was by Jean Patou.
I love this interview. I love that not only is the interviewer, he listens and he listens patiently and speaks kindly. ❤
What a poignant, touching story by Patrick Stewart about the great Vivien Leigh. Patrick is spellbinding telling of sitting next to Ms. Leigh in the theater and noticing that she wept at times during the showing of GWTW and then had to leave because of how emotional it was for her that some of her dear costars in the movie were no longer alive. I wonder if the "boyfriend" with Ms. Leigh was Jack Merivale.
Very respectful and kind to the memory of Vivien Leigh. Well done Patrick Stewart. What a memory. Thanks for sharing.
One wonderful person sharing stories about another wonderful person. Stories that will disappear like tears in a dark movie theatre unless retold
I love Conan’s ability to derail a touching moment in a way that feels natural and is hilarious
Sir Patrick is one of my favourites. So down to earth and kind. Not just a great actor but a great mine. I'll be very upset when he's no longer with us.
I love Vivien Leigh, thank you for sharing your incredible story Sir P. Stewart!
Patrick Stewart is such a wonderful raconteur. I had never heard his stories about Vivien Leigh before. Absolutely fascinating.
Gone With The Wind is an AMAZING film and Vivien Leigh was compelling
My Mother grew up on Gone With The Wind and Vivian Leigh as Scarlet O’Hara. I wish she was here to listen to such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing Captain Picard and Conan.
Perhaps she was thinking of Leslie Howard, who just a short 4 years after the making of Gone With The Wind, had his plane shot down by the Germans in 1943 as he few from Lisbon to Bristol advancing the British cause in the war.
Thank you for that information.
Hattie McDaniel she loved too (though was less fond of Clark Gable who had wanted very much for Carole Lombard to get the role of Scarlett)
Sir Patrick, I am so touched by your story of Miss Leigh! It is wonderful to know how kind she was to you and how her memories of what she shared with actors in the best movie of all time still moved her decades later.
Thank you Conan for bringing this delightful interview about Miss Leigh to us! You too are obviously a great fan.
Vivien Leigh rocked my world as a young man in her performance of "Gone With The Wind." Her tremendous talent; her immense courage in the face of tuberculosis and manic depression, and her timeless beauty remain with me still in my maturity.
Damn. The way his voice changes from 4:30, (when it's low in pitch and volume) and full of emotion and roughness,
*and overtones* , to about 4:57 when he "puts back on" his Patrick Stewart smooth, sonorous tone (like an overcoat) is worth the price of admission, regardless of the content of the speech ~~~~~
What a epic experience that Sir Patrick Stewart had with Vivian Leigh 🥰
What she did with the flower bouquet is my kind of people 😄
Vivien was a brilliant actress. Love you Sir Patrick!
She was so beautiful. More so than any other actress ever.
The Vivian Leigh film,”That Hamilton Woman” is a masterpiece and is never spoken about.
She was beyond beautiful. Stunning to look at
I'm listening with great enjoyment to Patrick Stewart's autobiography right now after having heard this interview. If you enjoyed this clip, I can't recommend it enough (even whilst only halfway through). So much more like a literary one-man play than an autobiography, chock full of anecdotes and thoughtful musings. It doesn't hurt that he still possesses a wonderful voice. A really nice interview, and I remain a steadfast fan of the podcast.
One of the most beautiful movie stars of all time!!❤️
This is the most wonderful story I've ever heard!
What a charming story. What a gift for Patrick Stewart. Iconic, exquisite Vivien Leigh! Superb actress!
Thank you, Conan, and Patrick for sharing this bundle of amazing memories of a great actress. I'd love to see photos of some of that touring company's work.
Vivian was a kind and gracious lady who sadly suffered from bipolar disorder that was devastating to her and the people around her. She had no control over that and deserves respect for what she went through and I admire her deeply.
Such an incredible momement sitting with vivien leigh
Viven Leigh may have been the best actress that movies ever had!
LOL.
Thank you Sir Patrick for sharing those stories. Just wonderful to hear these tidbits.
I feel like Patrick Stewart could tell a story about taking a 3 hour math test and it would be enthralling.
This reminds me of an event that was a genuine blessing in my youth… I was fortunate enough to see Patrick Stewart perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company. It was way back in 1980 or 1981. This was back before his stratospheric rise to fame. Roughly around the time of “Lifeforce” and “Excalibur”… he had a small, supporting role in each movie. It was obvious Patrick Stewart was the leader. He displayed an excellent sense of humor. If William Shakespeare was alive today, he would ask for Patrick Stewart’s autograph.
This is lovely and touching. What a memory. And to have found the gift she gave him too….wow. What a top bloke he is. Great actor, great storyteller.
Beautiful segment - and Vivien Leigh was simply the best!!!
Vivian Lee one of the most beautiful women to grace the screen, ever
This touches me so much. Both Vivien Leigh and Sir Patrick Stewart are class acts.
One of the best anecdotes I've ever heard on a talk show.
That's a stunning story.
I watched Patrick Stewart in a Shakespeare production back in about 1989. He was fantastic - is still fantastic.
I Claudius.....drops mic
Vivien Leigh was a brilliant actress! She was of course amazing in Gone With the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, but I also loved movies like Waterloo Bridge, and That Hamilton Woman among others. All these films showcase the range of her talent. She was so beautiful!
Wow! It was amazing enough hearing Sir Patrick talk so lovingly about the great Miss Leigh. But THEN, the perfumed handkerchief story...how wonderful!
Wonderful story. Very touching. Such amazing memories , Sir Patrick must have.
Conan brings out the vulnerable and the funny out of his guests…Conan is the best
so happy to have come across this. been in love with vivien since i was ten. thank you patrick!
This podcast is such a gift! These conversations are a gold mine
What a great story. Vivien was such a wonderful Actor and gracious lady to Patrick. Btw..I love JOOP!
