First Marriage
Vivian Hartley met (Herbert) Leigh Holman, a barrister 13 years her senior, in 1931. Despite his disapproval of "theatrical people", they were married on 20 December 1932, and she terminated her studies at RADA. On 12 October 1933, she gave birth to a daughter, Suzanne, later Mrs. Robin Farrington, who, decades later, would make Vivien Leigh a grandmother three times over.
