Forty years ago (4 March 1984) on this day in show biz history the made for TV adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire premiered on ABC. This interpretation – starring Ann-Margret as Blanche DuBois, Treat Williams as Stanley Kowalski, Beverly D'Angelo as Stella and Randy Quaid as Mitch – was green-lit during Williams’ lifetime, but he didn’t live to see it. “Ann-Margret looks too healthy to portray Blanche DuBois, the physically and mentally fragile Southern belle protagonist of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, but we forget this discrepancy five minutes into her marvelous performance,” AllMovie concludes. “The 1984 Streetcar Named Desire is less a remake of the 1951 version than a companion piece - a praiseworthy alternate version of the same sturdy material.” John H O’Connor of The New York Times, meanwhile, raved “Ann-Margret transforms [Blanche’s] disintegration into a journey of incredible pain and heartbreaking beauty. Her performance keeps building in intensity until, by the final scenes, she reaches a pitch of vulnerability that is almost unbearably riveting.” You can watch it for yourself on YouTube.

The fact that there's a version of the play "A streetcar named desire" with Rachel Weisz as Blanche and Ruth Wilson as Stella and that I can't find it anywhere keeps me up at night actually

blanche dubois is like. what if you were an alien in your own society. what if you keep chasing what once was. what happens when the change is all too much. what happens when you cling to the past with your hands so tight your knuckles go white and there's marks on it. what if you see everyone forgiven for things god punishes you for. what if newcomers were more familiar with your land than you.

#i actually sent this to my friends on a gc defending her from all the hate but #ascnd got me rotting over her... i am so glad we study it in school i canmot function unless i'm not thinking about blanche and #going into ruin she's so. she's SOOOO misunderstood by somany of my friends it is so☹️ #i get it girl. i love you #blanche dubois #i'd fight a man for you #a streetcar named desire

“In the Soviet Union they considered Vivien Leigh as the greatest movie star of them all and Waterloo Bridge (1940) as one of the great films of all time. In America, they gave her the plum role of Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and two Academy Awards. In England she was mainly the wife of Laurence Olivier, the world’s greatest stage actor – no wonder she made so few films and had such an odd movie career. She made ten films before Gone with the Wind, ambitiously acquiring a reputation, and worked in only eight more after that epic made her world-famous – admittedly she suffered from ill-health and considered herself primarily a stage actress, but it does seem as if a fine screen talent was semi-wasted … Her movie persona was a fascinating one. Despite her incredible Dresden doll beauty, she was one of the cinema’s great not-very-nice ladies; not quite the bitch type, more the unscrupulous, wily, kittenish beauty who uses sexual attraction as a weapon to get her own way. The role of Scarlett was the greatest embodiment of this seemingly unsympathetic but actually mesmerizing personality, but virtually all her roles were this type.”

/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars (1979) by Ken Wlaschin /

Born on this day 110 years ago: brilliant, fragile and intense English stage and film actress Vivien Leigh (5 November 1913 - 8 July 1967). Alongside Anna Magnani and Elizabeth Taylor, Leigh was one of the screen’s definitive interpreters of Tennessee Williams’ work (my all-time favourite performance of hers is in The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone (1961)).
