A sweeping and heartbreaking Hollywood biography about the passionate, turbulent marriage of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.

A New York Times bestseller

As seen in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday

In 1934, a friend brought fledgling actress Vivien Leigh to see Theatre Royal, where she would first lay eyes on Laurence Olivier in his brilliant performance as Anthony Cavendish. That night, she confided to a friend, he was the man she was going to marry. There was just one problem: she was already married-and so was he.

TRULY, MADLY is the biography of a marriage, a love affair that still captivates millions, even decades after both actors' deaths. Vivien and Larry were two of the first truly global celebrities - their fame fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television, which helped and hurt them in equal measure. They seemed to have it all and yet, in their own minds, they were doomed, blighted by her long-undiagnosed mental-illness, which transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare.

Through new research, including exclusive access to previously unpublished correspondence and interviews with their friends and family, author Stephen Galloway takes readers on a bewitching journey. He brilliantly studies their tempestuous liaison, one that took place against the backdrop of two world wars, the Golden Age of Hollywood and the upheavals of the 1960s - as they struggled with love, loss and the ultimate agony of their parting.

After many years as the executive editor of The Hollywood Reporter, Stephen Galloway became the dean of Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.

An Emmy Award-winning writer and producer, Galloway created the Reporter's celebrated Oscar Roundtables, along with the Netflix series The Hollywood Masters, which he hosted and executive produced. Over three decades, he has written about a who's who of Hollywood and the media, from Steven Spielberg to Meryl Streep, from Ted Turner to Tom Cruise. He is also the author of the bestseller Leading Lady: Sherry Lansing and the Making of a Hollywood Groundbreaker.

Galloway has an M.A. from Cambridge University, where he graduated with First Class Honors before coming to America on a Harkness Fellowship. After earning his diploma at the American Film Institute, he worked in film and television in France and the U.S. before joining the Reporter.
