Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind (1939)

“People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.”

“No one had doubted Gable’s success in the role of Rhett Butler. The role and script had been tailor-made to fit his cinema image and even if his mouthful of blazing white teeth were false and his ears did have to be stuck back, when he looked out of the screen in the dark cinema auditorium every woman present felt it a very private moment between herself and Gable. But with Vivien it was different. She mesmerized every member of the audience not only by her beauty and strength of character but a magic that filled the screen. Here was a great film star and everyone knew it. Selznick had moist eyes when the lights went on.” -Gwen Robyns
