Vivien and Suzanne

This is the first video that shows pictures of Suzanne, Viviens only child. Trivia: Suzanne was born October 12th 1933 Trivia: Suzanne was Viviens only living child. Vivien had a total of three miscarriges, all with Laurence Olivier. The first was in 1942, and the baby died within the first couple of weeks, the second miscarriage happened in 1945. Vivien was starring in Caesar and Cleopatra and she had to run in one scene and shout "I am a Queen" but the floor was over-waxed thus making her fall and loose the baby. The third miscarriage happened in 1956. Vivien was only 42 years old at the time and she was starring in Noel Cowards "South sea bubble" she pulled out of the play August 11th. Vivien awaited for her baby at Notley Abbey, but she suffered a miscarriage on August 12th. The baby was five months along, it would have been a baby boy. However, Vivien wanted a baby girl who was to be named Katherine. Sadly enough, she had the godparents, the nanny and a nursery ready for the baby that she lost. Trivia: In 1958, the Olivier marriage was almost over. Laurence Olivier thought that having a family with Vivien would help repair the marriage. He asked her if she wanted children with him but she refused.
