Blog 3:A Streetcar Named Desire
I think that Vivian Leigh did a much better portrayal of Blanche than the other actress. She portrayed Blanch exactly how I imagined her, in looks, mannerisms, and the way she delivered her lines. She clearly portrays Blanche in terms of the quote by Tennessee Williams. Vivian Leigh spoke with a sense of hysteria as Tennessee Williams had described. Also, her actions were quick, which adds to her portrayal of hysteria. From that short clip it seems that Vivian Leigh did an excellent job portraying Blanche!

She does fit what I had in my mind when I read it the first time. I think I almost instinctively imagined Scarlett O'Hara at first... until we began to see how weak and insecure Blanche was.
