for that part. She was tested for
Scarlet O'Hara, along with an

which one of the two girls will get
the part but it's more than
likely that Bootsie will be "Gone

take was made by the press when
it was stated that Austine got her
screen-test offer after a scout saw
her in the lounge of the Mayflower
Hotel ). The scout who saw her
there was from Warner Bros. and
didn't have anything to do with
the test. An acquaintance sent her
pictures to H'wood and that's how
Austine got her break.
