I have to admit, though, that I sometimes try to picture Bette Davis playing Scarlett (although Vivien is super stellar)--she just wanted it so bad!Kimberly J.M.

I cannot imagine anyone else in those roles!<br /><br />While Scarlett is rather an unlikeable person, there are alot of great qualities in her as well...determination, hardworking, strong. Vivien Leigh brought Scarlett to life so amazingly.<br /><br />And as for Rhett...well, I just love him. A bit rough around the edges, but I truly love that characer. He was Gable at his absolute best!!<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668690844478666903.post-2707579068607033302012-02-01T05:54:12.677-07:002012-02-01T05:54:12.677-07:00Dawn, I agree about Vivien Leigh's performance...Dawn, I agree about Vivien Leigh's performance as Scarlett. I've seen audition tapes for other famous actresses, and nobody was like her. Of course Gable was Rhett to the bone as well. Despite her being such a scheming pain in the you know what, I always feel sorry for Scarlett that she is too dense to realize what she has and is throwing away with regard to Rhett's real love for her. I remember reading that Margaret Mitchell said about her character "My poor Scarlett." I didn't understand that as a kid, reading the book especially, but I do now. Nice post, Dawn!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.com
