"Scorpios burn themselves out and eat themselves up and they are careless about themselves - like me. I swing between happiness and misery and I cry easily. I am a mixture of my mother's determination and my father's optimism. I am part prude and part non-conformist and I say what I think and don't dissemble. I am a mixture of French, Irish and Yorkshire, and perhaps that's what it all is."

(Vivien Leigh, nome d'arte di Vivian Mary Hartley, attrice; Darjeeling, 5 novembre 1913 – Londra, 8 luglio 1967)
