Carla Gugino to Play ‘Gone With the Wind’ Star Vivien Leigh in Biopic ‘The Florist’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Vivian Leigh, screen icon from "Gone With the Wind," is the subject of a new biopic led by actor Carla Gugino.
The film is directed by Nick Sandow (star of “Orange is the New Black”) and will explore Leigh’s struggle with bipolar disorder in the 1960s, as she prepares to lead the Broadway production of John Gielgud’s Chekhov adaptation of “Ivanov.” Screenwriter Jayce Bartok (“The Cake Eaters”) put the script together based on a box of love letters. Leigh earned her place in cinema history as Scarlett O’Hara, the central character in 1939’s “Gone With the Wind,” opposite Clark Gable. Veteran performer Gugino recently garnered awards attention for her role in the Netflix limited series “The Fall of the House of Usher” and currently stars in the HBO original “The Girls on the Bus.” Additional credits include “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” “Californication” and the beloved “Spy Kids’ film franchise.
