Talk:Scarlett O'Hara

message: Hi, I am just noting here (because I do not want to make an edit with no background on this topic) that at one point the article states: Her new husband dies early in the war, and Tara falls into the marauding hands of the Yankees. I am not sure why it says Tara, but then again this could be because I have no background on the issue being discussed. For those who do have some knowledge in this, please post here if this is correct in being here or not. Thanks, (Random updater 03:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi, I just wanted to point out that the Katharine Hepburn article states that she refused the role of Scarlett O'Hara because it was unfit for her.  This seems to be completely contradictory to the information in this article.  TsunamiWave7 06:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradiction with Katharine Hepburn article

message: I watched a movie where it was said, that Selznick knew from the beginning, that Vivien Leigh was the actress of his choice, but he kept this secret and casted other actresses due to PR reasons. The famous story of his brother introducing Vivien Leigh to him, while he had already started filming was scene Selznick made up and let his brother and Vivien Leigh act to increase the interest for the film even more.
I'm not adding this to the article, because my English is not good enough.

message: The article states, "Scarlett O'Hara was very beautiful, as indicated by Margaret Mitchell's opening line". However, the book's opening line states that "Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful...". Would somebody who knows how to edit please fix this error?

thread_title:  Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful 

message: For those who don't know about this and hopefully won't be offended or taking it personal, the name Scarlett O'Hara is also used on an anime character who becomes Love Angel Salvia on the manga/anime series Ai Tenshi Densetsu Wedding Peach.

message: I don't have my book on me, but isn't her 1st daughter's name ELLEN Lorena.  Like Scarlett's two sisters, they call her a conglomeration of the two names - Ella? JCgirlandlegal (talk) 06:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Broken links

message: The sections "Searching for Scarlett," "Actresses Considered for Scarlett" and "Adaptations," and the similarities between Scarlett and V Leigh in "Characteristics," belong in  the movie's wiki. The history of the character belongs here, not the history of the movie. Does anyone feel these sections should stay here?
Information about the Scarlett of the 1939 movie, as she was summarized and edited, should stay/would go here, if the movie Scarlett was different in any essential way from MM's character. The opinions of the people at Selznick studio who "created" her in 1936-39, and opinions on the book's Scarlett (contemporary reviews of the book, psychological interpretations of her from the time -- or of any time!) could be interesting here, too IMO. The section on real-life Scarletts/influences on M Mitchell is important.
But the movie history needs to go where it belongs. LaNaranja (talk) 01:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The movie-Scarlett information belongs with the [[Gone with the Wind (film)]] wiki. 

message: I'm drafting an overhaul of the Rhett Butler article, and I was searching here for some places to look. I'm wondering what references 4 and 5 refer to: "The Making of Gone With The Wind" Part 2, Documentary circa 1990s. Is this referring to The Making of a Legend: Gone with the Wind (1988)? Or is it referring to the episode of ABC's Our World titled "Gone With The Wind 1939" (aired February 19, 1987)? Or is it referring to something else entirely? ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 23:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Since I'm working on Rhett's I might as well do something for Scarlett's, right? I'll draft an ovethaul (I'm more comfortable adding everything at once than in little bits) while I still have all these books. It'll ge slow going, but then there isn't a deadline. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 19:46, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is being referenced? 

message: The opening line reads, "Scarlett O'Hara (born Katie Scarlett O'Hara; credited as Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy Butler) is the central character in Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind and in the later film of the same name." I find it confusing and even misleading to imply that a fictional character was ever 'born', and to format the article as though it were a biography. Perhaps that's normal for WP, I don't know, but it strikes me as rather odd. nagualdesign 17:46, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  This is not a biography 

message: Body needs some minor copy-editing: in particular sections Biography & Character summary have a couple of dangling pronouns, "i.e." for "e.g.", etc.; "Tara's threat" seems obscure to me. As even minor edits may affect the sense, I don't want to make changes without a copy of the book in hand. Putting this on my Watchlist for now to remind me. --D Anthony Patriarche, BSc (talk) 23:26, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copy editing 

message: There is a page Scarlett O'Hara (instrumental) linked in a hat note. There is also a common variety of morning-glory called Scarlett O'Hara. There are a few other articles with 'Scarlett O'Hara' in the title; do we need a dab page? --D Anthony Patriarche, BSc (talk) 00:55, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
