In reply to: Cece 's message, "I agree. It must be hard for an actor to play the same part in a play for months on end. They'd have to find ways to make the performance look fresh every day. As for film, many actors enjoy playing bad boy/girl roles because of the stretch. I can't imagine playing some real life evil person. it would be hard to find sympathy inside for your character, without making the character sympathetic to the audience." on 16:29:52 07/20/14 Sun

I seem to remember an interview with Olivia De Haviland, who was definitely the "good " girl in Gone With the Wind. She thought it was harder to play a good girl - I guess she thought it was harder to stay in character.

[> [> [> [> Yes I see your point. I imagine playing either role would be less fulfilling if it is "cartoonish" as opposed to subtle. I've just been reading up on Olivia. Apparently, she wanted the role of Melanie, not Scarlett. (inside) -- Cece, 14:09:20 07/22/14 Tue [1]

I found Melanie and Ashley, tiresome characters. Melanie was stronger than she appeared and Ashley was weak. I couldn't understand why Scarlett wanted Ashley instead of Rhett. I mean...COME ON! That scene when Rhet picks her up and rushes up that long curved staircase, is epic.

Did you know that Olivia is 98? I always thought that her name and Joan Fontaine's name were made up Hollywood names. However, de Havilland is the real name of their father, and Joan changed her name from de Havilland to their mother's maiden name, Fontaine. Who knew?
