Description
This is a black and white photo of the British actor Suzanna Leigh posing with the festival director Dermot Breen in 1972. Leigh and Breen have their arms wrapped around each other and are smiling at the camera. Breen is in a dress suit and Leigh is wearing an ebullient kaftan-style patterned dress.
Born in 1945 Leigh was born Sandra Smith but changed her name to Suzanna Leigh with the encouragement of Vivien Leigh who was a neighbour and possibly her Godmother. Suzanna Leigh is best known for her television and film roles, in particular her work with the film director Hall Wallis who directed her opposite Tony Curtis in Boeing Boeing (John Rich, 1965) and in Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Michael D Moore, 1966) opposite Elvis Presley. She moved to Memphis for some time in the 2000s hoping to capitalise on her association with Presley but died in 2017 from liver cancer age 72.
