Gary Cooper turned down the part of Rhett Butler, believing that it would be the biggest flop in cinema history (how wrong was he? lol!). many actresses auditioned for the part of Scarlett O'Hara, but only two were filmed in colour; Vivien Leigh and Paulette Goddard. Vivien got the part and the rest, as they say, is history.
