Footnotes: Provenance The Collection of Dr. Christopher Sullivan Vivien Leigh grew up as an only child in a wealthy family and was not lacking for luxury. She was given music and other lessons but then, at only 6 years old, she was abruptly sent to a Catholic convent school, a traumatic experience for someone who had always been the center of her parents' world. She went years without seeing her parents, a change so sudden and inexplicable that she dealt with the ramifications for the rest of her life. It was at this point, amazingly, that she knew she wanted to be an actress, so she began studying ballet at the convent and continued her study of music in preparation for her goal.
