[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 415792, member: 7"] Yes, many of the candidates lacked the center "it" factor necessary, which, I suppose, serves the purpose of Selznick using the Scarlett hunt mostly for publicity. Paulette Goddard is a very good actress, but I don't have a lot of exposure to her work. I've only seen her in THE WOMEN and just snippets from other movies. Vivien Leigh was beautiful and talented. She was very British, but won two Oscars for playing two Southern belles. I've only seen her in GONE WITH THE WIND, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, and THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE. But I'd agree that I do like Goddard better than Leigh. Her tests were decent, and she had the right look, but I have nothing to judge Joan Bennett on but what little I've seen of DARK SHADOWS. I thought she showed good potential, despite being so inexperienced. [/QUOTE]
