I know this was discussed briefly in another thread, with one of those discussing the matter speaking of the butterflies unleashed from it. However, last night I watched a Turner Classic Movies Channel special on the making of "Gone With the Wind." I was frankly amazed when I discovered that Lucille Ball's name was on the list of those considered for the role of Scarlett O'Hara. With the kind permission of other members of AH I would like to pose these questions. First, all other things being equal assume that Lucy and not Vivien Leigh does get the role, unlikely as it seems. Assuming she does get the role how does the filming of Gone with the Wind proceed and how successful is the film? Selznick gambled a great deal on it and had it failed it would have been a major catastrophe for his career and many others.
