“Clark Gable as Rhett Butler.”
OMG I do love him, I don’t know why but he’s always been my ideal man!
And let us not forget Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes. Howard was a true patriot who died for his country in WWII and a fine actor.
I tell you, Rush Limbaugh really ticked me off a few years back when he was referring to some military guy, whom he considered a wuss, as “Ashley Wilkes” clearly another ignoramus who never read the book and probably never even saw the movie. A disgrace to the character and to Howard.
Howard underplayed the role because despite the makeup, he could not act like a man in his mid-twenties. Which is why he at first declined the role. He was just right for Henry Higgins in “Pygmalion” Rex Harrison was too old for my Fair Lady.
He was referring to General Wesley Clark.
