Vivien Leigh: Hollywood via Devon
Join Victoria Haddock for this short course to explore Leigh’s legacy as a style icon and discover more about her connections to Devon.
Rural Devon is not where you would expect to find links to two-time Oscar- winning actress, Vivien Leigh. Join Victoria Haddock to discover more about Leigh’s connections to the quaint historic estuary port of Topsham and how some of her film costumes and couture clothing have made their way into the collections of museums in the South West, including the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. This course will look at these items of clothing, and their designers, in detail, to explore Leigh’s legacy as a style icon.
