Thank you guys for all the information. I am doing my paper on Vivian Leigh. I hope I can find information about her online.
Thanx again.
Shouldn't have a problem with finding the info. I had found a ton about her when i did my psych project on Vivian Leigh.

Vincent Van Gogh, I had to write a paper on him last year for school. Got an A. He suffered from depression due to unresolved issues with his mother, he self-mutilated and eventually killed himself. Email me, I can send you some more info. There are a million books on this as well.
