Making "Gone With The Wind" Pt. 3/5 ("Our World," ABC, 1987)

How the hell did Vivien make less than double Leslie??? He was so bad as Ashley!! Clark and Vivien were prefect! And deserve similar salaries...but it was 1939...

[OceanKingNY]

@KpopManiacSFL Yes, but don't forget that at this time, Vivien Leigh was an unknown actress making her first American movie. Clark Gable and Leslie Howard were both established movie stars who had proven their ability to make money for the studio. For that reason alone, Gable would have insisted that he be paid more than Vivien Leigh.

I wonder if any of those girls in the national search, ever got a chance at being in movies?

[hypnoticpoisons]

so much to emanzipation, vivien leigh she killed it and just got a gage of 30t? compared to clark gable and especially leslie howard with more than 75t??

how on earth did that happen?

Since the CAV LaserDisc version has no real supplement, just 5 LDs! hahaha, It's nice to find the supp stuff on YT

[ismaeeeeeeel]

my favorite scarlet is the lovely girl who play the main roll in the wizzard of ozz, scarlet was beattifull, a autentic seducer, Vivian Leigh wasn't, the movie belong to Clark GABLE and the scripter.

I thought Paulette did better than the other bad auditions but she was still missing a lot. It looked too forced. Vivien Leigh had the child-like, wide-eyed look and the ability to put on a sinister look as well that truly brought the part to life

[TheMrMarilyn]

Hmmmmm...those salaries are extremely revealing...ie: men are valued higher than women,and African Americans valued below all!!Thank God thass changing...

[hisalone1212]

paulette...was a bit too hard..seemed a little old and lacked innocence...to be a coquettish seductress

[skylur44]

KATHERINE HEPBURN in this role? OMG she would have been a disaster. ALL of these tests just underscore how fortunate the casting of Vivien Leigh literally saved and made the film. No other actress could possibly have come anywhere near her performance, although Goddard at least looked the part.

[mchunch]

Lana Turner looked more than ridiculous at this screen test....wack.

[bob555555]

I kind of liked Jean Arthur's screen test

[xander7ful]

Vivien Leigh was brilliant as Scarlet. Jean Arthur and Paulette Goddard were very good actresses, but I can't imagine anyone else in that part. She pegged it.

[OceanKingNY]

Agreed. Paulette Goddard would have played a fine Scarlett, but Vivien Leigh truly WAS Scarlett. She doesn't even seem to be acting as she brings Scarlett to life. She truly seems to have been born to play this role.

[Versigo]

Right you are madam, being unable to act doesn't stop people from being in a movie even to this day :)

HAHAHAHA LOVE YOU FOREVER P.G!!!
