  Suzanne Farrington was the only child of film star Vivien Leigh. She was born when her mother was  Restless to make her name on the stage, Leigh&#;s daughter was only two when the actress eloped with Laurence Olivier, and just after she won her Academy Award playing Scarlett O&#;Hara in Gone with the Wind.
  Suzanne spent much of her life coming to terms with the complicated phenomenon of her mother, with whom she always had difficulties (though unlike the daughters of Joan Crawford and others, she felt no temptation to share these with the world). Instead, she led most of her life away from the glare of publicity, and eventually, created a happy home for her husband and three sons. Farrington also held her stepfather (Olivier) in high regard.

It was with sadness that I learned last week of the death of Suzanne Farrington, Vivien Leigh&#;s only child. She passed away presumably at home in Lower Zeals, Wiltshire, of unstated causes at age Many people know of her, but few outside her family and immediate circle seem to know much about her. The death announcement in the Telegraph told us that she lived a life of love and laughter and is survived by her three sons, 12 grandchildren and numerous friends, while a längre obituary in the same paper focused more on Suzanne&#;s tenuous relationship with her famous mother than her individual accomplishments as a woman, wife and mother.
