John Gielgud Letters (Part 3) To his mother 14 August 1938 7th July, Venice “...Larry Olivier and Vivien Leigh came for a meal and Jill Esmond for another. These ex-married couples playing "Box & Cox" need much tact and discrimination in the handling...” Although Olivier's affair with Vivien Leigh had been current for some time, he was not divorced from Jill Esmond until 1940.
