Hollywood icon Vivien Leigh was a real scarlet woman. The two-time Academy Award-winning actress, best known for playing Scarlett O'Hara in the classic "Gone with the Wind," enjoyed sex from other stars and prostitutes of both sexes, according to a new biography.
"Damn You, Scarlett O'Hara" – by co-authors Darwin Porter, who claims to have known the British actress in the '60s, and Roy Moseley, her husband Laurence Olivier's personal assistant – allege that Leigh enjoyed sex with the "rough trade," or from male prostitutes picked up at Scotty's, an L.A. brothel disguised as a gas station with a pump and 22 attendants.
A publishing source told the Daily Mail, "In the 1940s, the world's most recognizable star would drive down to Scotty's with her friend George Cukor, the initial director of 'Gone with the Wind,' and they would pick out young men for the night".
"They would pay the men with gifts such as cigarette cases, jewels or even stocks and bonds. She depended on the professional discretion of men not to boast they had just serviced Scarlett O'Hara."
She also allegedly had flings with fellow British actress Isabel Jeans and two other women, as well as with Marlon Brando and Rex Harrison.
