Hi. Have you ever seen the movie Gone With the Wind. It was made in 1939 from a book by Margaret Mitchell.
I have not seen it. What is it about?
It's set in the south during the Civil War and tells the story of Scarlett O hara and Rhett Butler
The names are familiar, but I do not know the story.
Filming was delayed for two years because Selznick wanted to get Clark Gable in the Rhett role.
Why did it take two years to get him?
Probably on other jobs. The role of Scarlett led to to 1400 women being interviewed for the part.
Who ended up with that part?
Vivien Leigh, and also starred Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland as Melanie.
I am sure it was a success.
