> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Vivien Leigh (Vivian Mary Hartley) > > Don’t know why she even changed the spelling of her first name. More posh? Because _at the time_ the -an spelling was usually given to men, and the -en spelling to women, at least in the US. Maybe it was different in the UK, which is why she had the -an spelling to begin with. ---

**Films of Christopher Walken** 1. Suicide Kings 2. Batman Returns 3. The Deer Hunter 4. Catch Me If You Can 5. Biloxi Blues 6. Pennies from Heaven An underrated movie, IMO, it got good reviews but was a commercial flop. The Wiki article quotes star Steve Martin as saying: _I must say that the people who get the movie, in general, have been wise and intelligent; the people who don’t get it are ignorant scum._ ---
