Leigh has said she had to overcome her beauty overshadowing her acting skills. A director once said she was a “consummate actress, hampered by beauty.” She became popular for her roles in Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, but she actually had a more prolific onstage career. In the last few decades of her life, the actress had to fight tuberculosis but she ultimately succumbed to the disease back in 1967.
