In 1954, Joan first married. With her first husband, Roger Jage, she lived only a few years.
The second husband, Lawrence Olivier, appeared in her fate in 1961. Joan Plaurayt and Lawrence Olivier lived together until the death of Lawrence (the life of a man was cut short by a malignant tumor developing in his body).
In her second marriage, she gave birth to three children: a son and two daughters.
The children of Joan Pluraight continued their family continuity and connected their lives with cinema. The son of Joan and Lawrence, Richard Kerr Olivier, writes and directs scripts, and both daughters - Tamsin Agness Margaret Olivier and Julia Kate Olivier - followed in the footsteps of their mother and became film actors.
Awards actress Plaurayt

In 1993, the talent of Joan Plaurait was awarded two Golden Globe awards: for her roles in the films Stalin and Witchcraft April (for the shootings in the latter, the actress was awarded the Oscar).
"A Taste of Honey"
An interesting story is associated with the appearance of the play. Once, a young Englishwoman Sheila Dileni, having familiarized herself with Terence Rattigan's work “Variations on a Theme,” stated that she could write no worse than the author, and her friends immediately made a bet with the girl.
The play “Taste of Honey”, written by young Sheila in just ten days, has been included in the repertoire of theater troupes around the world since 1958. Since then, the story of a teenage girl who timidly crossed the threshold of the adult world is regularly reproduced on the stage of theaters of various levels.
