I guess that's a subjective opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, because I don't agree.

I would imagine Betty Davis is like that.. I was born in 1968 but I have seen so many of her movies. She’s a great actress
Wow. The last star from Hollywood’s golden era. May God grant her many (more) years!
Gone with the Wind was a great movie!
Tear her down, she once played a plantation owners daughter. Racist!!

Wow, what a profound statement and so much better phrased than I could have put it, but I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been blessed to meet more than one person like that in my life so far.

She does indeed. My great grandmother died at 105 in a water skiing accident. I’m kidding, it was motorcycle crash - she never learned how to swim. They say she actually died of a broken heart because she outlived her sons (one of whom was my grandfather who died at 83).
There should be a sequel to “Gone With The Wind”, with Olivia in it, and titled: “Not Gone Yet”.
Stunning!
“Of the 4 main stars Melanie is the one that dies at the end of GWTW. In real life the exact opposite. Leslie Howard died very shortly after in WWII. Gable and Leigh in the 1960s.”
Leslie Howard was killed in 1943 when the plane in which he was flying was shot down by the Luftwaffe. There is very good evidence that he was a British Intelligence operative.
She’s not a slave owner but she played one in the movies.
“I know. Olivia was never exactly beautiful,”
I thought she was beautiful in the mid 1930s; I also thought her sister was gorgeous in “Rebecca.”
My brother-in-law was born in Tokyo after WWII.
I thought so. She did a number of films with Errol Flynn from 1935 to 1941 and she was a beauty in most of them if not all. Dodge City stands out in my mind.
She’ll never work in this woke town again.
It says a lot about the current state of our country that had she stared in a skin flick instead of “Gone With the Wind” you could still see her movie today on TV.
I would totally hit that...
Read recently that Mom preferred older sis Olivia and insisted Joan use “Fontaine” when acting to avoid name confusion with her sis. Sibling rivalry exacerbated by jealousy, resentment....
Legend.
