Vivien Leigh Is Me to a "T"

In the midst of some online searching the other day, I came across a "What Classic Actress Are You?" quiz.  Even though I knew there was nothing scientific or professional about it, I thought it would be fun to take the quiz and see who I was..hoping, of course, that I might come away as the elegant, classy, always-poised Grace Kelly.  Well, perhaps if I had fudged on the answers, I might have been Princess Grace, but by answering them honestly, I came away as this lovely lady.



Yes, I am Vivien Leigh.  Here is the quiz writer's description of Miss Leigh.


Driven, Passionate, Depressed, Headstrong
You are an intense romantic. Going through the many ups and downs in your life, things can get way too stressfull and you can find yourself physically and psychologically drained. Not to mention how hard you work to gain the success and happiness you long for, but the means in which you try to attain them might be more damaging than helpful. Love is very strong in your life and can also be a powerful source of energy and the security that you need. Being with that special person not only livens your spirits but also your very soul, but always getting what you want will only make your fall higher and harder once it slips out of your grasp. Just remember that you can always pick up the broken pieces and be stronger for it.

Without question, this describes me perfectly.  It's eerie how closely my personality mirrors Miss Leigh's.

Want to find out which classic actress you are?  Then, go HERE.  If you take the quiz, I'd love to know who "you are" and if that actress's personality describes yours, so be sure to pop back by and share your result.

  1. How interesting about Vivian Leigh and you! I came up Katharine Hepburn, which is what I tend to come up as in Classic Actress quizzes.

    It said:
    "She is an icon but beyond that, she was one of the most highly respected and talented actresses in film history.

    Unconventional, Independent, Intelligent, Feisty

    You are never afraid to speak your mind and make no attempt to conform to other other people's demands or social norms. You might be seen as haughty and demanding at times but you just want to make sure you do your best on your own terms. Whenever your capabilities are questioned, you end up proving your critics wrong. You have the brains and the brawn to be the alpha-female in a man's world, always holding your own. Go, you!"

    Probably mostly true, although I'm not sure anyone has ever seen me as haughty and demanding! LOL

    1. From what I know of you, I don't see you as haughty or demanding either. But you are independent and intelligent.

  2. Well, I lost the page but it came up with Natalie Wood...that's great because I always have admired her. My favorite movie was Splender in the Grass with Warren Beatty. Thanks loved the quiz:)

  3. I was Natalie Wood and, as much as I really wish I was like Natalie Wood, I don't think it described me very well! I'm definitely not ambitious.

    Intelligent, Radient, Professional, Controlled, Fearful

    You are a vibrant person with a great ambition. You know that it takes hard work and drive to get to the top and you've managed to stay there for quite some time. Although you have found that others might be using you for their own gain, and that when people first think of you the great tragedy of your life would be remembered before your accomplishments, you still continue on bravely. Things might be pushing and pulling at you and you silently wish to push back harder. It's important to remember that you have the ability to be independent and live life on your terms. If you're able to go on living the way you do, there should be no problem. Keep up the awesome work!

  5. I am:
    Grace Kelly. The American Princess, she lived the ultimate fairy tale and every girl's fantasy becoming princess of Monaco, but before that, she was one of Hollywood's A-list notably appearing in three Hitchcock movies, including "Dial M for Murder", "Rear Window", and "To Catch a Thief" - all classics. She also won an Academy Award for her role in "The Country Girl".

    Patient, Cool, Obedient, Sophisticated

    You do what is expected of you, even if that means giving up something important to you. You may seem to be living the perfect life to others, but you might not be as happy as they'd expect. You struggle and fall on tough times like most but what makes you stand out is that you're able to keep your cool as well as your self-respect. Unwavering where most others would have given up you rough out the bad times without complaining or being self-piteous. You are above that. You look at the road ahead of you with a sense of purpose, but remember that you can always veer off that path laid down for you by others and go in the direction you choose...

    This all matches me except being patient and cool...I get hot under the collar easily and being cool is a mask I wear often...I have a meltdown later on, after everything is over and done with !!!

    That was fun Patti, thank you my friend :)

    1. Ah, Kris, you are the one I wanted to be...the beautiful, elegant, sophisticated Grace Kelly. How nice to be able to keep your cool in the midst of crises. That is SO not me!! Perhaps I should begin calling you Princess Kris.

  6. I'm

    Marilyn Monroe. Everyone knows her, she is arguably the most recognizable figure in the 20th century.

    Quiet, Shy, Unstable, Wistful, Lost


    Even though you tend to be vulnerable and insecure, you are still able to give the appearance of being your vibrant, content self, downplaying your sadness. You struggle to express yourself and to break the facade for which everyone perceives you. You are also determined to prove yourself and show that your beauty is not only skin deep. Through it all, you just want to be rescued as you reach out for help, but remember that you have the super-human drive that can get you out and back on your feet

  7. Patti, this was a lot of fun. "I am" Audrey Hepburn, therefore, I am sorry to tell you that William Holden declared me the love of his life!! Hey, you initiated this, not me.

    I am:
    "Modest, Sweet, Attentive, Generous, Cosmopolitan, a little self-conscious and sometimes can't see why people think you are special. Going through hard times in your life, you never look back and never take things for granted. You are a survivor and you now see to it that others less fortunate can survive as well. With a heart filled with genuine kindness, you can really make a difference. Never doubt yourself for you are a force to be reckoned with; smart, compassionate, and talented to boot"

    Well... if Bill loves me, I am very happy to be all that!
