Gone With the Wind Online Exhibit When George Cukor filmed the burning of Atlanta -- the first scene shot for "Gone With the Wind" -- the part of Scarlett O'Hara had yet to be filled. More than 30 women were tested for the role, but producer David O. Selznick wanted an unknown actress to portray the feisty Southern beauty. The story of his selection of Vivien Leigh, told in letters and memos, is just a small part of this fascinating collection on the making of a cinematic classic. From the purchase of the book's film rights to make-up stills and costume design, this collection offers unique behind-the-scenes insights even those who "don't give a damn" about movies can enjoy.
