Vivien Leigh - Rebecca Screen test

It was said that for all the right criteria she got picked to play the role of Scarlett in GWTW; she didn't have the correct disposition to play Rebecca--Hmm--Alfred Hitchcock might have been too critical on Vivien Leigh--Joan Fontaine did make do good with the role though; still I would have loved to see Vivien Leigh in the role.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! Hahaha =)

Gracias por la cita! Perdon que haya notado esto tan tarde!
Te agradezco =)

muchisimas gracias a vos por re-comentarme, je. Es entendible que hitchcock vea en Vivien L. a rebecca ya que, en la pelicula, cuando otros personajes describen a la difunta, las caracteristicas son muy identicas a las que uno ve en la actriz.. Me entere ademas, que Vivien no fue rechazada para el papel (que interpreta Fontaine) por hitchcock, sino por el productor. o`zelsnick. Volvi a ver la peli y definitivamente creo que hubiera estado bueno algun flashback con Vivien interpretando a Rebecca

Seguramente! Habría sido genial!!

I love Vivien Leigh--She's my favorite actress of all time. I thought had she been coached as to the mode and manner with which she were to deliver her lines--she would have had the role; I meant as an American--but, of course, Joan Fontaine really did an excellent portrayal in the movie; and anything less than she--playing the part would have been ...something else to be desired--today.
Thanks for sharing.

Were Vivien and Olivier married at this point?

I think so. If they were not yet, they would have been about to get married...

Vivien was amazingly beautiful and talented but that was Joan Fontaine's role.
I love Joan too =)

Vivien was excellent at playing A: PSYCHOPATHS, and B: PSYCHObitches! Unfortunately, the 2nd Mrs de Winter was neither of these.
