[QUOTE="Soaplover, post: 438937, member: 336"] Goddard was pretty good in her screen-tests, but she read to me as too 'hard' without the sweet and coy antics that Scarlet has at the start of the movie. I read that the screen tests did give exposure to Hayward and Turner so I can understand that sometimes you might not be right for a part.. but they have you on tape so if another part comes along.. you'll be called to read for it (happens in soap operas all the time). I remembered reading an article that in the 80s, Knots Landing was very popular in Black American households.. and a few kids I went to school with explained their mom's were fascinated by how messy white people were in suburbia and that was why they loved watching it. In regards to GWTW, the book is very informative and shows the history of how things were in Georgia pre Civil War, during the Civil War, and the years following the civil war.. How Scarlet/Rhett understood that things would never go back to how they were before the civil war even if the south won.. and Scarlett starting to do business with the union after the war knowing that it was the only way to survive while some other people in Atlanta refused to move on from how things were back in the day. It was a fascinating tale of society at that time.. and while it was toxic, it also was part of life and something that needs to be discussed. So when a small majority get their panties in a knot, I just assume they have puritan blood in them and that they shouldn't be listened to.. but kept on a watch list to ensure they don't censure things they consider 'problematic'.
