It's OUTRAGEOUS that Hattie McDaniel received only 1/5 of how much Vivien Leigh was being paid and still the state of Georgia had to ban her from attending the Premier of the movie in Atlanta due to the segregation law. And to think after all those against her, Hattie McDaniel still delivered one of the most poignant, dignified and moving Oscar acceptance speech. Remarkable woman!!

One of the things Vivian had going for her was that ridiculously small figure of hers, even compared to the other actresses trying out. When Hattie tugged at her dress in that screen test, she really moved her around like a rag doll. That didn't quite happen with the other actresses.

While Selznick rejected Paulette Goddard as Scarlett because Paulette would not marry her lover Charlie Chaplin, he relaxed that standard for Vivien Leigh, living with Laurence Olivier during GWTW filming.

Vivian Lee improved what Goddard had already done, but it looked like she just copied her style. Evenso, Vivian Lee was a perfect choice. I couldn't believe they only paid $6xxx to the actress who played Mammie. She was such a good actress. Her part was about as big as Olivia D. So unfair and unkind. But they agreed to it. That Prissy character was not funny but irritating. I wish they had let her be cute without being stupid.

Fascinating.. No one could beat Vivian.. The only awful thing in the film was the horse where Rhett took Scarlett out of danger the horse apparently was from a knackers yard and actually collapsed and died in the carriage escape scene...

Paullette Goddard would have made a pretty good Scarlett. I think she was the best of the rest. There is another video on YT with much more screen test footage with many of the actresses who auditioned.

Love the movie-- as a great Hollywood Spectacle. But have read, more then once, that Selznick paid little attention to the portrayal of Blacks in his movie-- referring to a belief of--'why should he when the Country as a whole doesn't, that it isn't his job to do so..' and that he purposely altered the worlds of other Scripts writers like Hecht, that did give a more truer and realistic aspect of blacks in that time period...He felt, they 'WERE' essential to giving 'comic' relief in the pictures more darker moments.

My daddy was making one dollar a day and Hattie made 6000 and Vivian made 30k but the only people that should complain was my father and mother. But they were the only types of people who never complain. That's class.

He was so popular, he was paired with all the top leading ladies of the era: Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo, Carole Lombard, the list goes on and on. MGM didn't want to let Gable do GWTH, but Selznick was determined to get him. Of course, his salary would've been the biggest, he was the King of Hollywood, and deservedly so. Vivien Leigh was a British actress, known almost to no one in the U.S., so that's the reason she didn't get as much.
