Gone with the Wind Screen Tests & Auditions


(YouTube link)

A total of 32 actresses tried out for the role of Scarlet O'Hara, and many others who auditioned for the other principle parts in the 1939 film Gone With The Wind. Hindsight tells us the final casting was perfect, but it's interesting to think about some of these other folks in those roles. -via Laughing Squid

GWTW is my all-time favorite film and while I think the parts of Scarlett (2 T's!) Rhett and Melanie were perfectly cast, Leslie Howard was just all wrong for the part of Ashley, who, incidentally, played Ashley because Selznick agreed to let him direct "Intermezzo" with Ingrid Bergman. Seeing Jeffrey Lynn here makes me wonder if the role wouldve been better suited to an actor who WASn't more than 20 years senior to both his female castmates!

I'm going to be honest even with the explanation of studying penguins to see if global warming is stressing them, this still seems cruel. I want to see a scientist in a box barely bigger than himself walking on a treadmill!

Well, Gellner, I have my tredmil in one of my spare rooms that's harldy big enough to fit the machine.

It's not so bad. Does get a little warm in there, though.

The operative words being..."This may seem CRUEL, BUT..."

No "but"s about it...this is cruel any way you look at it!!!!!!

How can anyone justify putting a wild animal through this kind of torture????
