Neville Farrington’s mother, Suzanne Farrington
Suzanne Farrington was the only child of British actress Vivien Leigh and her first husband, Herbert Leigh Holman. Upon her mother’s death, Farrington was bequeathed her mother’s papers, including her letters, photographs, contracts, and diaries.
Farrington was born Suzanne Holman on 12 October 1933 at a nursing home at 8 Bulstrode Street, London. Her mother, Farrington, was born Suzanne Holman on 12 October 1933 at a nursing home at 8 Bulstrode Street, London. Her mother, Vivien Leigh was 19 years old, and had been married to Farrington’s father, barrister Herbert Leigh Holman, for less than a year. Leigh’s diary entry on this day simply read: “Had a baby–a girl. The birth was difficult: Farrington was born a month prematurely, and the delivery was not an easy one.
It was several weeks before mother and daughter came home, but once there it did not take Leigh long to become bored, as the household was being run quite adequately by the staff, and the nurse-nanny tended to the baby. The Holman household consisted of a maid, cook, and Nanny Oake who had been hired to care for the baby. Although Leigh concentrated on her acting career, soon receiving good notices in the play The Mask of Virtue, she did occasionally appear in the role of the new mother, being photographed holding her baby.
Leigh became more involved and more successful with her acting career, while Holman and her daughter became less important. Although Leigh initially had great concern for her daughter’s well-being, her career was paramount. Farrington’s care became the responsibility of Holman, her maternal grandmother Gertrude Hartley, and numerous nannies. During the Second World War, Farrington traveled to Canada with her grandmother, to stay with her aunt, Florence Thompson.
Farrington was enrolled in a convent school, spurring not only unwanted publicity for Farrington but spurious claims that she would be the subject of a kidnapping. Film historian Kendra Bean described Farrington’s formative and later life, during which her grandmother continued to act as a surrogate mother. During the late 1950s, she instructed at her grandmother’s Academy of Beauty Culture in Knightsbridge.
Farrington continued her close friendship with Tarquin. By the late 1950s, Farrington and Leigh began a more intimate mother-daughter relationship, with Leigh visiting the Zeals’ house and Farrington often traveling and holidaying with both her biological parents. The Farringtons were married until Robin’s death on 13 June 2002.
