Hattie McDaniel,and Clark Gable we're really close friends. So to say she never forgave him is ridiculous considering that Gable ,when finding out about the out houses for the black cast members, if those don't come down today,I don't come to work tomorrow. About the money, Gable did not want to do the movie.Part of his deal was to get paid enough so he would have enough money left over to divorce his wife,and marry Carol Lumbard.The bulk of the money was paid to him after his divorce. I believe in total it was $500,000 . This made him the highest paid actor,of anyone male or female. Hattie was the first black performer to when the Oscar.

Vivien Leigh was a British actress whose charm, ambition, and sophistication captured the attention of all those who met her. She is considered to be one of the best actresses of all time. Leigh’s acting career skyrocketed when she won the role of Scarlett O’Hara in one of history’s most iconic films, Gone with the Wind. Her fame was also due to her romantic relationship and affair with actor Laurence Olivier, a story of both love and tragedy. However, a part of Leigh’s story that is not well known is her lifelong battle with bipolar disorder.

Good video, with just a minor quibble: Scarlett didn't fall down the stairs "trying to get away from him." She fell down the stairs trying to attack him. And Hattie laughed at Clark's prank. They were friends. The "never forgave" is total BS.

On a semi not really related note, I've noticed that shows that used to prominently show the WTC towers in New York have edited out those scenes in their intros or in scenes in the background. What do you think about that? I know it was traumatic, obviously, but I don't know why that would be necessary. I mean, with all the movies from Saving Private Ryan D Day scene to The Hurt Locker, I'm sure there are many trigger moments on film. Like, a movie like "Saw" can be made, but we can't handle seeing the Twin towers? Just curious what you think about that type of stuff.

This is my favorite movie of all time. I love movies. This one was so powerful and captured so much. It was such a great story. It had everything in it. I like how they included what happened in the war and how it affected the south. Since the movie was filmed in the 30s, they weren’t as reluctant to show how the whites treated black people. Scarlett is such a strong character. I love her courage. I love how she will do anything to get what she wants. I own the movie and I watch it every couple of years when I want to feel the strength that Scarlet has. The whole movie is perfect from beginning to end.

1939 was the best year for movies ever.

I informed the Head Harry Ransom curator (who I’d met that year at the Turner Classic Movie Film Festival promoting the GWTW exhibit in Austin) about the life size reproduction of the BBQ dress. He was excited and wrote the info down and said the Ransom Center would research the dress and try to get/make their own for the future. The Harry Ransom Center also exhibited GWTW acquisitions in the 1980s when they first purchased them from MGM. I was in college in Texas in the ‘80s and saw the GWTW exhibit. There were many actual Oscar Statues exhibited that were not present in 2014, a few costumes and some other memorabilia. BUT the 2014 75th anniversary Exhibit was the BEST with movie clips, many more costumes, audition clips, David O Selznick correspondence, Matte drawings of the sets and many many photographs shot during the filming of GWTW.

Wilkes

The character’s name is Ashley Wilkes not Wilkins (9:45). Oy.

Man do you have it wrong. It was Clark Gable that couldn't dance they had to put a spinning platform under Gable and Leigh. That came straight from TCM.

I don't remember which movies they were, but I saw two in which Clark Gable accidentally called Miss McDaniel's character Hattie and they left it in the movie. Anybody else remember that?

Clark Gable didn’t want to be in the movie. Many of the men weren’t that interested in being in the movie because they saw it more as a girl movie. Clark eventually pretty much was forced to do the movie. He said he’d do it but he wouldn’t do an accent.

Leigh was gorgeous 🥰 I have authentic signed photos from Hattie McDaniel & Olivia deHavilad A high school bf ‘s movie has a protest flyer from the protest aof the word “damn” at the end

Most movies are filmed out of sequence. I like it when men don't cry.

Why did they get other authors to help with the script and not Margaret Mitchel? Was Ms. Mitchel not available, or did they go for the famous male authors because they were … male? It was in the 1930s, so just wondering.

They asked Mitchell for help with the script again and again. But she adamantly refused to be involved. She said that when she signed over the rights to the story, it became someone else's headache and not hers. She said editing the story for publication was the worst thing she'd ever lived through and didn't want any part of the movie.

I want to add my thanks to all those who previously called out the numerous inaccuracies that are presented as facts by this creator. It appears that every video in their playlist has comments calling out how shoddy the research is. The titles consistently reek of tabloid journalism. And on this entry, the # of dislikes is hidden. Shame on Google/KZread for allowing such shenanigans. I am not sure which is more laughable: silly mistakes such as Ashley ‘Wilkins’ by that computerized bot voice, or the uncorrected auto-corrects that read Rett, Vivienne, Scarlet, Lee and so forth from viewers.

~5:38: You mean Ben HECK-t by any chance?

Hattie McDaniels the first Black Female Oscar Winner. Back when that Honor Stood For Something. Then there was Prissy. "Oh Cap'n Butler, I don't know nuthin bout birthing no babies. "

But, "frankly my dear, evidently, no one gives a Damn". I paraphrased...and digress.

Vivian said Clark Gable had nasty bad breath.

I read that Vivian Lee didn’t want to do kissing scenes with Clark Gable because he had such bad breath. He wore dentures. I guess dentures back then weren’t as good as they are now.

Get your facts straight. Gable was paid more because he was the biggest star in the world at the time.

Olivia DeHavilland was not happy at all about being pipped at the post for the Academy Award by Hatti Daniels...

ashley WILKES not WILKINS

Ashley Wilkes, not Wilkens. Seriously.

At 9:41...Ashley WILKES, not "Wilkins". Errors like these show how little this channel researches.

Your facts are wrong on some of your points 😳

YOU THINK THIS BOOK IS LONG......TRY "WAR AND PEACE"

Vivien Leigh was an unknown in the US when she signed to do GWTW while Gable was already a superstar so his getting paid more was natural. Including this fact and excluding Hattie’s Oscar win is ridiculous l.

Genuis'. Clark Gable was A HUGE INTERNATIONAL STAR IN 1939,,,,,,, THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD !!!!! VIV. LEIGH, WAS PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN, AT THE X !!!!! BESIDES, LEIGH WON THE OSCAR, NOT GABLE !!! AHHH, THE WOKIE OMISSIONS.

They... burned the old King Kong set?... BURNED. THE. KING. KONG. SET!? What's wrong with you!?

Warning: Contains several uses of the word "iconic." Also not the most surprising stuff here. If you know anything about the movie, you know this.

Unequal pay between men and women still happen today.

Link bait!!!

Your commentSandra Morey, that "Atlanta was highly segregated until quite recently"is way off & not true at all.Atlanta hasn't been like that in decades- your history is NOT correct.There isn't a black or white person in Atlanta that will agree with your statement.I am shocked at your ignorance
