[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 444537, member: 57984"] George Cukor, the original director (and continued to work with the actresses after his being fired) stately bluntly years later that GWTW would never have become the all-time classic that it did had any other actress been cast other than Vivien Leigh. Which was true. She really was born to play Scarlett. And it's hard to say precisely why, but Leigh always reminds me off a "popular girl" you knew in highschool who people didn't actually like [I]all [B]that [/B]much[/I] but was prominent in some way. In earlier eras, women mostly achieved status through men (some might say that hasn't changed as much as it appears) but subsequent generations of girls still took to Scarlett as a kind of "princess" role model. Although today, the movie's just too old for some younger people to be all that much aware of, and current woke-ist zeitgeisty disapproval over the minimizing of the film's racial issues probably squelch its influence today. Are "the kids" even aware of GWTW? [/QUOTE]
