“I knew it was a marvelous part, but I never cared for Scarlett. I couldn’t find anything of myself in her, except for one sentence. The odd thing is that they would cut it out in the various rewriting that went on, but I always fought to have it put back. It was the only thing in the character that I could take hold of. It’s in the scene after Frank’s funeral when Scarlett gets drunk and tells Rhett how glad she is that her mother is dead and can’t see her. ‘She brought me up to be kind and thoughtful and ladylike, just like her, and I’ve been such a disappointment.’ I liked her then for her honesty.”
