Question: what was the age difference between rhett and scarlett?
Answer: While actress Vivien Leigh was around 26 at the time of the film, the character is portrayed from ages 16 through 28. It's the teenaged Scarlett who is first pursued by Rhett Butler, when she guesses his age to be around 35. Book experts actually peg him at 33 at the time the characters met in the source material.
