Director: Jose Quintero Cast: Vivien Leigh, Warren Beatty, Lotte Lenya, Jill St. John, Coral Browne Vivien Leigh was a British actress who won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, for her definitive performances as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and Blanche DuBois in the film version of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a role she had also played on stage in London's West End in 1949. She also won a Tony Award for her work in the Broadway musical version of Tovarich (1963). Although her career had periods of inactivity, in 1999 the American Film Institute ranked Leigh as the 16th-greatest female movie star of classic Hollywood cinema. Warren Beatty is an American actor and filmmaker. Credited with ushering in New Hollywood in the late 1960s, Beatty's career has spanned over six decades, and he has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards, including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture, two for Best Director, three for Original Screenplay, and one for Adapted Screenplay - winning Best Director for Reds (1981). Beatty is the only person to have been nominated for acting, directing, writing, and producing in the same film, and he did so twice: first for Heaven Can Wait (with Buck Henry as co-director), and again for Reds.
