Nancy Kelly

She never had a particularly successful adult career, although she did win a Tony Award for her performance in The Bad Seed, which she followed up by starring in the film version and receiving a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
. Nancy was a child star, who had made so many movies by the time she was nine years old, that Film Daily called her "the most photographed child in America due to commercial posing.". Leigh has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6773 Hollywood Blvd. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, she was the sister of actor Jack Kelly. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered on the lake at Tickerage Mill, near Blackboys, Sussex, London, England. Nancy Kelly (March 25, 1921 - January 2, 1995) was an American actress. The actress died of chronic tuberculosis in her London home.

Joan Plowright, third wife and widow of Olivier, later claimed that during much of Olivier's marriage to Leigh he was having a longterm homosexual relationship with the American actor Danny Kaye. Leigh continued to keep a framed photograph of him on her bedside table, even while living with her companion, actor John Merivale. In 1960, she and Olivier divorced on supposedly friendly terms. She had also been plagued by manic-depression for some time, which was believed to be a factor in the failure to cure her ailment.

By the early 1960s Leigh had suffered two miscarriages, and the severity of the tuberculosis was incapacitating. In 1951, however, Leigh won a second Academy Award for her portrayal of Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire. Though she continued her career with such plays as Thornton Wilder's Skin of Our Teeth, and the 1946 film Caesar and Cleopatra, her illness was getting worse. In 1944, the actress was diagnosed as having a tuberculosis patch on her left lung.

At the time, both were married (Olivier to actress Jill Esmond who was pregnant when the affair began). The pair had met in 1935 and had begun a rather public love affair. In 1940, Leigh arranged for a divorce from Holman and married British theatre star Laurence Olivier. Leigh is best known, however, for her role of Scarlett O'Hara in the American film Gone With the Wind (1939), for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.

In 1935, she began her film career with such movies as The Village Squire, Things are Looking Up, and Look Up and Laugh. Her first play was The Green Sash, though it was Mask of Virtue that really brought her to stardom. Leigh's career began on the stage. She was married in 1932 to Herbert Leigh Holman, and they had a daughter, Suzanne, in 1933.

She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton, England, along with fellow actress-to-be Maureen O'Sullivan. She and her parents later moved to England, where young Leigh grew up.
